You could read worse Star Wars comics – but you could also read much better ones. ‘Darth Vader and the Cry of Shadows’, ‘Darth Vader and the Ninth Assassin’, ‘Darth Vader and the Lost Command’ if you weren’t reading Star Wars comics at the time then you’ve probably never heard of any of these and frankly, you’re not missing much. Dark Horse gave it many tries over the years, from countless dedicated stories in Star Wars Tales and Empire to a series of Vader-focused miniseries, all of which were entirely, aggressively fine. It’s easy to forget this right now, as Marvel currently publishes its third consecutive well-received volume of a Darth Vader ongoing – not counting multiple miniseries – but they shouldn’t. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She holds a PhD in Environmental Studies from Toronto’s York University and lives in Vancouver, Canada.

It’s simultaneously rapturous and horrifying. Her language, as Zoe Enser said in a tweet last week, is enveloping. She throws us into the landscape of the story where we, like our heroine in ‘The Bloody Chamber’, are curious explorers. I’d forgotten how frequently she makes us teeter between wit and horror, between the home and hell. ![]() As both a teacher of English and a fiction writer who enjoys exploring the liminal space between the real and surreal in my writing, it was a joy to revisit Carter’s sublime, uneasy language.
