Marvel’s Star Wars: Darth Vader Comic to end in August

May 14, 2016 by Gary Collinson

Some bad news for fans of Marvel’s Star Wars: Darth Vader comic, as it has been announced that the ongoing solo series will be coming to an end this August with issue #25, the cover to which you can see here…

“It was a situation where, you know, we’ve always said all the way through, from Darth Vader #1, that this was a story with a beginning, a middle and an end,” writer Kieron Gillen tells IGN. “And we kind of looked where we were after Vader Down, and we realized we were probably actually nearer to the end than we thought we were. And it was a situation where we were like, “Okay, it’s better to actually end this story in a way which we think is the most effective. We don’t want to pad it out extraneously.” That was the kind of thing, we were like, “Oh yeah, this is the end of this particular story,” in which case it’s a natural place for Vader to move on.”

Here’s Chris Samnee’s variant cover for Darth Vader #25, which concludes the ‘End of Games’ story arc…

And the solicitation for the issue…

It has all built up to this! Vader’s trials against Cylo’s creations! His machinations against the Emperor! His covert missions with Doctor Aphra and her murderous droids! All comes to fruition in an oversized 40-page issue by the stellar team of Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larroca! You won’t want to miss this ending!
