Star Wars Comics Go Out in Blaze of Sith Intrigue

Darth Vader and Cade Skywalker wrap their respective Dark Horse Comics miniseries with brutal showdowns, Sith intrigue and more Star Wars apocrypha than you can shake a lightsaber at.

Star Wars: Darth Vader and the Lost Command No. 5 concludes the dark lord?s search for Moff Tarkin?s son with ultraviolence and betrayal. Tortured by visions of a better life with Padm?, Vader loses his mind, and helmet, fighting Captain Shale in search of closure in a series that stands among the Star Wars universe?s finest.

Meanwhile, Star Wars: Legacy: War No. 6 finishes just as nastily. Cade Skywalker, direct descendant of Anakin and Luke, goes toe-to-toe with the nefarious Darth Krayt on the endlessly embattled Coruscant.

Two Sith Lords battling for supremacy, two mostly noble protagonists standing in their way. It?s almost like Dark Horse planned these mirrored showdowns or something! Click through our preview gallery of the Star Wars comics closers, which hit stores Wednesday, and let us know in the comments section below if they pass galactic muster.
