This Vader series just keeps getting better. Kieron Gillen is my choice for clear frontrunner in the new Star Wars comics canon, managing to both stick to the mythos of Star Wars and create satisfying new characters and scenarios therein. 
 In this volume, Vader's plan to track down Luke Skywalker behind the Emperor's back starts to hit some roadblocks. I really love Gillen's ability to keep Vader feeling intimidating while still placing him in relative peril. Also, the Space Sherlock Holmes character Gillen creates to put a wrench in Vader's plans is an incredibly fun read. He's even basically wearing a deerstalker cap. 
 This relatively short book manages to juggle a lot of different genre work, all within the Star Wars realm. I'd love to see this kind of stuff play out in the movies more. We get a heist, a mystery, an Indiana Jones-style adventurer, murderbots. Finding the Star Wars counterpart to these genres seems to be Gillen's go-to method for this series, and I couldn't be more excited to see what else he has planned. 
 Take note, Disney! This stuff is cool!
