Star Wars: Legacy of Vader - The Reign of Kylo Ren #1
The shadow of Darth Vader looms large over the Star Wars galaxy, and nowhere does it reach deeper than in the mind of young Kylo Ren! Written by Charles Soule, well known for his ongoing Darth Vader series from Marvel Comics, this story delves into the mysteries of Vader as his legacy continues to shape the Empire. LET THE PAST DIE...KILL IT IF YOU HAVE TO. As Marvel enters a new era of STAR WARS storytelling, the dark obsession of young Kylo Ren leads him to Mustafar! But what secrets does Fortress Vader hold for the young tyrant? And what face from the past will guide him on his quest? Next, Ren’s formative journey takes him to the home planet of his grandfather, Anakin Skywalker — where he must face Gardulla the Hutt and her guards — plus a rancor!
