Darth Vader 15 Cover Revealed!

Posted on October 6, 2015 - 1:10 pm by Ashley Wilbanks

In “Vader Down,” Marvel’s upcoming crossover event, the Dark Lord that everyone fears is in a shocking situation — stranded and facing defeat. With the Rebel army closing in on his position, Vader finds himself in a similar predicament faced by Luke Skywalker in The Empire Strikes Back. But while Luke relied on his friends to come to his aid, Vader’s only chance of survival is to do things the Sith way. He’s on his own, he’s cornered, and he’s desperate.

That makes the chances bleak…for the Rebels.

Now thanks to StarWars.com, we have our first look at the cover for the upcoming book by artist Salvador Larroca.
