Darth Vader - Comic Book Thread

Instead of making a new thread every time an individual Darth Vader comic is released, this thread should act as a compendium for ALL Vader-related news/information pertaining to his various comic book series'...

_____________________________________

I'll start with the events of Darth Vader v2 #7 and go forward from there:

Some important tidbits this issue:
-It is reiterated that ALL members of the Inquisitorius = former Jedi.
-Jocasta Nu is still alive, and she is evidently one of the most knowledgeable beings in the galaxy, thanks to her previous status as the Jedi Temple's primary archivist.

Palpatine: "That crone could end everything we are trying to do. For you see... Jocasta Nu knows EVERYTHING [...] Not just secrets of the light side of the force, but the dark side as well. Secrets that were not [the Jedi's] to keep. Secrets even of the ancient Sith... Jocasta knows them ALL."

Thanks for posting it. It was enjoyable to see more of the Inquisitors and see how Jocasta Nu will present a danger to Darth Vader & The Inquisitors (since she's not a really good combatant).

I see her being more tricky than anything combat wise when they meet. Or they just have it be something anti-climactic.

Really fun comic. I laughed when Palpatine said Jocusta was "barely competent" with a lightsaber.

Also did I really just read that Jocusta restricted knowledge for only select Jedi? I get maybe the more deep Force secrets being reserved for Jedi Masters, because that's only logical. But from what the GI is saying, it sounds like it was more than that.

Jocusta's such a pretentious ******* to Kenobi in AotC, I wouldn't put it past her.

Funny that Jocasta ended up being one of the last major survivors in Canon when she was literally the first to die in Legends.

Well, for a short time at least 🙂

Screw you! He was clearly looking superior.

So is the implication that she knows more secrets of the force than even Sidious?

More like she knows the whereabouts of Sith artifacts that Palpatine doesn't know about.

I never thought I would have ever said it but i’m Actually hyped for Nu

Which is lucky for them.

Oh no wait, he blitzed them all 1 on 1 anyway 😉

That's why the 7th Sister blade locked him and the two other Inquisitors were flanking him before the Jedi stepped in.

It's so nice to see the plot focus around an enemy who's not the most powerful in the traditional combat sense. A great message of knowledge being power even if you're physically frail.

Also this comic really strengthens my dislike for Vader. What type of irrational military leader cuts off the limbs of their own men? A man-child without any control of his emotions that's who. Even Palpatine reprimands him on stupid outlashes like that. I think to Shadows of the Empire where he was about to kill Xizor for no reason other than embarrassing him in front of Sidious. His immaturity reminds me of Donald Trump.
