But even that is understandable: serial stories need variety in tone and scale as much as in anything else and going big like that only works if sometimes, the story also goes small. Its biggest problem is that it lacks a big, stupid, fun moment like, say, last issueвЂ™s вЂњDark Side Kaiju fightвЂќ. The flashback, which comprises most of the issueвЂ™s traditional action beats, is fairly routine. ItвЂ™s not the most elegant segue into a crossover event, but itвЂ™s not the most inelegant one, either. This, in turn, prompts a flashback sequence in which Vader is shown chasing after Han Solo & Chewbacca in the wake of the first Death StarвЂ™s destruction, culminating in VaderвЂ™s present-day mission to track down his sonвЂ™s buddy for himself, thereby firmly inserting Vader (and Darth Vader the series) into the вЂњWar of the Bounty HuntersвЂќ event.ДЄll of which isвЂ¦fine. As VaderвЂ™s body is (painfully) rebuilt, he ruminates on his son and past events, coming to the conclusion that Luke is weakened by his friendships. But VaderвЂ™s inward resolve, formed at the conclusion of вЂњInto the FireвЂќ, continues to burn: he still has every intention of making his son a Sith and joining with him to overthrow the Emperor.

Things pick up more or less where they left off at the end of the last issue: Darth Vader has (outwardly) re-pledged his fidelity to Emperor Palpatine, having witnessed the full extent of PalpatineвЂ™s plans and power on Exegol, and the issue opens with the Emperor dutifully returning Vader to Coruscant in order to repair his damaged/ad-hoc body. Greg Pak does his best to thread that needle with this issue, a tie-in to the вЂњWar of the Bounty HuntersвЂќ event running through all the Marvel Star Wars titles, but thereвЂ™s no denying this issue isnвЂ™t as strong as previous ones, due mostly to the need to tie-in to the crossover.

Tie in too strongly, and risk an opportunity to showcase what is unique about the series to those new readers, in an effort to get them to stick around after the crossover (and risk alienating existing readers with a story that otherwise derails the seriesвЂ™ narrative). Tie in too lightly, and risk alienating any new readers checking out the book just for its connection to the overall story. Darth Vader gets his body put back together while his mind wanders before setting out after Han Solo in Star Wars: Darth Vader #12 written by Greg Pak, art by Guiu Vilanova, colored by Dean White with Giada Marchisio, and lettered by Joe Caramagna.Д¬rossover tie-in issues are tricky.
