Today I would like to continue to write about something really stunning :
The MARVEL StarWars comic book . DARTH VADER.
I continue the review with the tome #2 (French edition) that collect US editions tome 7 to 12 (2015)
As a reminder : The comic scenario is from Kieron Gillen(Young Avengers, Iron Man) and the drawings are from Salvador Larocca(various X-Men series and Iron Man).

| Thanoth |
At the beginning of this 2nd arc, Darth Vader just discover that he has got a son. His son destroyed the Death Star. So his quest to find him continues with the help of Aphra, 000, BT1, Bobba Fett and a droid army !
In parallel to his missions for Grand Amiral Tagge, Vader tries to build his own power in order to find Luke and be prepare to defeat his villain competition (the creatures of Cyclo)....
But the most problematic for him is the incredibly smart inspector that is in charge to support him in solving some mysterious actions against the Empire : Inspector Thanoth.
The relationship Vader / Doctor Aphra is still very interesting because it is always very uncertain and we keep always the impression that Vader can dispose of her anytime... but she starts also to use this to her advantage.
The comic is really awesome for the scenario, the drawings. We really get the feeling to be together with Darth Vader and we see him as a "hero" in the middle of the Empire most dangerous peoples.... and that is weird because at the same time he his merciless with rebels, criminals and whoever can endanger his plans .... This will definitely modify my view of the films.

| Darth Vader #12 |
Especially the "I am your father" moment: this series gives a new dimension to his wish to make Luke join him.
We know that the Sith way is that the apprentice tries to defeat his Master (so he needs Luke in order to kill Sidious) but I get the impression that when he says to Luke that together they could restore peace in the galaxy this is because deep inside he has seen so much brutality of the Empire killers that he thinks that through his power he can destroy the darkest part of the Empire and rule everything better by himself (and his good part deep within) and Luke.
What if Luke would have joined him and destroyed Palpatine? Could it be that they would have restored peace and democracy together with Vader redemption?
It is very hard for me to express this. I will try to develop more in future.
