About the author

Based in Brooklyn, New York, New York Times bestselling author Charles Soule is a writer of novels (graphic and otherwise), comics, screenplays and stories of all types. He plays the guitar fairly well and speaks at least one language.
Born in the Midwest, he spent his early years in Michigan before moving to Asia, where he spent time living in Hong Kong, Manila and Singapore. Stints on the East Coast followed, before settling in New York (apparently) for the long haul.
He is the author of the novels ANYONE and THE ORACLE YEAR, published by HarperCollins' Harper Perennial imprint, as well as LIGHT OF THE JEDI, launch title for STAR WARS:THE HIGH REPUBLIC. In addition to novels, he is a prolific writer of comics, including many titles for Marvel, DC, Image and other comics publishers, such as Undiscovered Country, Death of Wolverine, She-Hulk, Darth Vader, Lando, Curse Words, Letter 44 and long runs on Daredevil, Swamp Thing and Inhuman.

Outstanding new series
Reviewed in Canada on February 6, 2018This graphic novel is a great addition to the Star Wars canon. A very interesting story that follows Darth Vader right after episode 3.

Shan5 out of 5 starsThrilling and illustrated beautifully
Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2019Do not miss this series if your a Star Wars fan, if your a Vader fan in particular this is a must read comic as it really goes into Vaders early days and his journey to become a true champion of the dark side. Had to put it down on purpose several times so it would not end. Loving my second read of the same volume as well. This book pulls no punches and the writing is much better than I thought it would be. This is one of the few new Marvel comics that can stand tall with the classics and Dark Horses comics. Illustrations are top notch and the story is well thought out.
