So...I mean I get the whole hiding thing, but this "Jedi turning against other Jedi or succumbing to their anger/fear whatever" is something I hope isn't gonna be the norm. Koth was gonna tell Vader where other Jedi were...that one Jedi Master who's name I can't remember let cities/people get destroyed...

Oh oppo and Coleman are still alive. Good. Well there are a lot of powerful Jedi still around: Yoda, Obi Wan, Quinlan vos, Koth, Rancisis, Kcaj etc considering that Inquisitors are fodder, VAder is no where close to full-power, I guess that if they teamed up together they could possibly take out the emperor and vader
Very dark [SPOILER - highlight to read]: he way the Inquisitor stole the Jedi
Also Poor Koth never stood a chance, and was very clearly desperate to keep his family alive. I can get his motivations

Not a bad issue to be honest. I like the dark tone.
How are people interpreting the duel? Was Vader keeping him alive until his family were caught? If not, an out of shape, out of practice and emotionally tilted Koth held up pretty well. On the backfoot, sure, but that was a long duel, time wise.

I mean, Vader did state that the emotions Koth was feeling during their battle made him considerably more powerful than he ever was(or would have been) as a Jedi.
That said, Vader still dominated him.

Vader only 'outranked' Tarkin before he was a Grand Moff... But even when Vader did 'outrank' him, Palpatine made it clear that Tarkin was still beyond his retribution/jurisdiction: (please log in to view the image)
Vader choked him out with ease
He could’ve ended the fight anytime

It's worth noting that Eeth Koth landed at least two or three glancing blows or near hits on Darth Vader in this fight. In one panel, we see Eeth Koth striking Vader's helmet (though the attack leaves no visible damage, we can clearly see that the helmet was struck on the 8th page that was posted). Also, at the end of the fight, we can see that Vader's right arm and the cloak over his left leg are both rather tattered, showing that Koth landed either glancing strikes or near misses.
This is probably Koth's best showing, considering the only other lightsaber duel we've seen him in (that I recall) was against Grievous, in which he didn't fare all that well. Sure, Koth was certainly inferior here, but it doesn't appear it was by too much if he was able to land a few blows. And we know in canon that Vader>RotS Anakin, as the suit doesn't appear to hinder him in canon the way it did in Legends.
