I like that the new series is exploring the direct aftermath of RotS/Order 66 in detail, and giving us tons of insight into several other Vader side-stories... But from a storytelling/artwork standpoint, the first series was superior, imo.

*Hence why the mask possessed Roggo in this issue and had him whip up preliminary designs for Vader's castle.
Also, Soule confirmed that the mask of Lord Mommin was hidden in Jocasta Nu's secret vault in the Jedi Temple. Palpatine took the mask when he gained entrance to the vault back in issues #9-10: https://i.imgur.com/Q7oMGrp.jpg
I just read it. I find it enjoyable for the fact not did they just speak of Momin p, they showed him as well. Unlike many comics that speak about a Sith and are never again mentioned.
Take no him out of almost every holocron in all the archive?! He definitely had some strong force views. I wonder what time he lived, I can’t find a good description for that in the comic.
Certainly there is one glaring similarity between them: Atrius' lightsabers corrupted any who held them. Momin's mask/relics also have the same type of corruptive effect on those around them. Disney canon seems to be leaning toward the "older = more powerful" school of thought, atm.
That said, Momin's story is evidently quite uncommon among Sith(as Palpatine himself noted), so I expect his backstory to be completely unique/original.

If they decide to make a backstory.
The only thing we got out of Atrius was that he was a Sith Lord that was alive when the Sith were plentiful and that he had a pair of crossguard lightsabers. I dearly hope that they even make his own copy of the Darth Vader series for it would fit along the story. I was very disappointed wuth what they did to Atrius, I am just joping that they don’t mess it up.
The way I would make this story line is that Atrius and Momin lived in the same time period. Maybe one could have killed the other to show which one was more powerful. They seem comparable, wouldn’t it be interesting if they shared the same master for awhile. It would be like a Plagueis and Venamis conflict between the two. That is my opinion though/shrug...
Yeah, that didn’t feel right. I am going to leave the shrugging to you.
