comic doesn't quite measure up to the first so far, but at least the series isn't guilty of recycling the same approach. This is a very different sort of Darth Vader story set in a very different time in the Sith Lord's life. As such, this book has a critical part to play in Marvel's rapidly expanding Star Wars library, even if it doesn't seem in any great hurry to accomplish its goals. This is one of those cases where the first two issues of a new series really should have been combined into one.
