Happy Father's Day! To celebrate the day, I thought I'd bring you a cover featuring every Star Wars fan's favorite dad, Darth Vader.
Joe Quesada has only contributed a handful of covers to the Star Wars line including one for the final issue of Marvel's 2015 Darth Vader title. This incentive variant was offered initially in a 1:100 ratio.
Star Wars: Darth Vader #25k - Marvel Comics, U.S. (October 2016) Joe Quesada variant
The artwork is not as nice as Joe Quesada's cover for The Force Awakens #1 which does a wonderful job of showing Rey on Jakku, but it is definitely better than the artwork he provided for Star Wars #1. The drawing is Darth Vader standing on an outcrop clenching his lightsaber while peering up at the sky. The pose looks very much like a Batman pose; imagine the rock replaced with a rooftop ledge in the city and the lightsaber replaced by a batarang.
While the artwork is decent, it does not stand out from the myriad of other Vader cover's Marvel has released since reacquiring the license.
