The grand finale of Greg Pak’s epic run, DARTH VADER #50, will showcase a vision of Princess Leia standing beside Darth Vader, adorned in newly-designed armor.
The press release follows:
Media Release -- "If you will not turn to the dark side... then perhaps she will!"
Next month's STAR WARS: DARTH VADER #50 will have a special backup story by series writer Greg Pak and frequent series artist Luke Ross that explores the possibility of Princess Leia joining the dark side! Fans can get a glimpse at the story now in an all-new variant cover by best-selling cover artist Derrick Chew. Also available as a virgin cover, Chew's cover reveals a new armored look for Leia that will debut in the issue.
The final issue of the longest-running Darth Vader comic series ever, STAR WARS: DARTH VADER #50 will deliver the stunning conclusion to Vader's tormented battle against the Emperor's schemes and the Schism Imperial's secret plot to topple the Empire. Together with STAR WARS #50, it'll be the finale to the current era of Marvel's Star Wars line that takes place between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Come October, a new age of Star Wars comic book storytelling begins in STAR WARS: BATTLE OF JAKKU — INSURGENCY RISING, the first of three limited series depicting the legendary final battle of the Galactic Civil War, a saga that bridges the Original and Sequel Trilogies.
