The
first year of Darth Vader from
Marvel Comics sees him finding the identity of the pilot who destroyed the
first Death Star then discovering he is also his son. Following the events in
his own series, Darth Vader heads towards the planet which is the current
location of Luke Skywalker and a former Jedi Temple. However after coming out
of hyperspace, he is greeted by three squadrons of X-Wings currently conducting
training exercises. Vader takes on both Blue and Yellow Squadrons before facing Red Squadron and Luke Skywalker.
Luke
knows Vader is on the Tie Fighter so he decides to ram him which brings both
fighters down to the planet. The Rebellion along with Leia and Han head towards
the planet as the Rebels currently on the planet prepare to surround Vader. The
first part of Vader Down packs a punch especially with Luke ramming his X-Wing
into Vader’s TIE Fighter. You have both action and suspense kicking off the
six-part crossover by writer Jason Aaron.
