<p>Our dip into the mid 2010s Marvel Comics Star Wars universe continues, and this time, we've got a bona fide crossover event! "Vader Down" jumps between issues of Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larroca's <em>Darth Vader</em> (which we've been reading for the past few eps) AND Jason Aaron and Mike Deodato Jr's <em>Star Wars</em>. Which means we've got an extended stay with the comics version of Han, Luke, and Leia. Can they live up to their movie counterparts?</p> <div class="contents_c19a55"> <div id="message-content-1503562365449539857" class= "markup__75297 messageContent_c19a55"> <p><strong>Next Time: Darth Vader Vol. 3 — The Shu-Torun War<br /> (Darth Vader (2015) Annual 1 and issues 16 - 19)</strong></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Show Notes</strong></span></p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/Zweuggu9IUQ">Yasiin Bey on Drake</a></p> <div id="message-accessories-1517690887352750151" class= "container_b7e1cb"> <article class= "embedFull__623de embed__623de markup__75297 justifyAuto__623de" aria-hidden="false"> <div class="gridContainer__623de"> <div class="grid__623de"> <div class="embedSuppressButton__623de" tabindex="0" role="button" aria-label="Remove all embeds"><img src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/314294/amca_136_1.png" alt= "" width="1200" height="1844" /></div> <div class="embedSuppressButton__623de" tabindex="0" role="button" aria-label="Remove all embeds"><img src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/314294/amca_136_2.png" alt= "" width="1200" height="1844" /></div> <div class="embedSuppressButton__623de" tabindex="0" role="button" aria-label="Remove all embeds"><img src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/314294/amca_136_3.png" alt= "" width="1200" height="1844" /></div> <div class="embedSuppressButton__623de" tabindex="0" role="button" aria-label="Remove all embeds"><img src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/314294/amca_136_4.png" alt= "" width="2752" height="2064" /></div> <div class="embedSuppressButton__623de" tabindex="0" role="button" aria-label="Remove all embeds"><img src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/314294/amca_136_5.jpg" alt= "" width="2291" height="1437" /></div> <div class="embedSuppressButton__623de" tabindex="0" role="button" aria-label="Remove all embeds"><img src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/314294/amca_136_6.png" alt= "" width="803" height="557" /></div> </div> </div> </article> </div> </div> </div> <div id="message-accessories-1503562365449539857" class= "container_b7e1cb"> <article class= "embedFull__623de embed__623de markup__75297 justifyAuto__623de" aria-hidden="false"> <div class="gridContainer__623de"> <div class="grid__623de"> <div class="embedSuppressButton__623de" tabindex="0" role="button" aria-label="Remove all embeds"> <div class="contents_c19a55"> <div class="markup__75297 messageContent_c19a55"> <p><em>Hosted by Rob Zacny (<a href= "https://bsky.app/profile/robzacny.bsky.social">robzacny.bsky.social</a>)</em></p> <p><em>Featuring Alicia Acampora (<a href= "https://bsky.app/profile/ali-online.bsky.social">ali-online.bsky.social</a>), Austin Walker (<a href= "https://bsky.app/profile/austinwalker.bsky.social">austinwalker.bsky.social</a>), and Natalie Watson (<a href= "https://bsky.app/profile/nataliewatson.bsky.social">nataliewatson.bsky.social</a>)</em></p> <p><em>Produced by Michael Hermes</em></p> <p><em>Music by Jack de Quidt (<a href= "https://bsky.app/profile/notquitereal.bsky.social">notquitereal.bsky.social</a></em></p> <p><em>Cover art by Xeecee (<a href= "https://bsky.app/profile/xeecee.bsky.social">xeecee.bsky.social</a>)</em></p> </div> </div> <div id="message-accessories-1498878786668855496" class= "container_b7e1cb"> <article class= "embedFull__623de embed__623de markup__75297 justifyAuto__623de" aria-hidden="false"> <div class="gridContainer__623de"> <div class="grid__623de"> </div> </div> </article> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article> </div>
