Nothing happens.

How so? The dude was smart enough to leave the DS and come up with some brilliant planning in just 1 issue alone. Not to mention making Grand General.

Plenty happens.

Spoiler:
Tagge makes his adjunct keep watch on Vader. But, during a raid on a pirate base, Vader forges data to make Tagge's adjunct appear to be a traitor.

All in all a far better issue than the first. Better dialogue, better story, and no obnoxious callbacks to the films.

The first issue wasn't bad. Vader was depicted pretty well; it's just very hard to find the proper story for him. He's too powerful and too important for the otherwise mundane stories in which we find him.

Which is a fundamental issue for me with the Rebellion Era expanded materials. There's just not much interesting happening and it's hard to do properly with characters like Vader for the reasons you stated. Its why the EU kept having to create new super powerful Force Users and inane plot devices to make the stories exciting.

It's why I like Rebels so much. It's good to be able to restart small and build up again rather than trying to stretch to maintain the high levels Vader needs to operate in.

They should give Vader a proper antagonist.

Still gonna pick it up next week.

Kind of hard when Vader is the antagonist.

Not in his own series.

GUYS I AM HYPERVENTILATING RIGHT NOW GUESS WHOSE LIGHTSABER COLORS MATCH THAT ****ING COVER??? GUESS YOU PIECES OF SHIT!!!! AHSOKA ****ING GODDAMN TANO THAT'S WHO OH MY GOD

That's issue number 5's cover.

BTW, hand in the reflection of Vader's eye is a human hand, I'd put a large amount of money on that being Ventress and Vos... (Which I know a lot of you mentioned)

And that'd be kind of badass to be honest, especially when he beats the shit out of them...

I can't see shit in his eyes.

iPhone zoom is real 😛

I guess I shouldn't waste money on it then.

As far as I'm concerned, this issue does what a book should do: help build the overall story/plot... And it does so very well, imo.

1. Agreed.

2. lol that's not why you like Rebels.

He likes SWR 'cause he wants to bang Sabine. Obviously.

Quite a bit happens, actually. There's just no "Z0MG teh UBER!11!!!11!" battle board feats to speak of--which is why a few feat-mongers might claim that nothing happened.

...By having a good story. none

..maybe the story would be beefed up if Vader did more than destroy a couple droidekas every issue. 😐

I mean, if that's what you enjoy, then.. fair do's.
