Si vous pensiez que la confrontation entre Luke Skywalker et Dark Vador (Star Wars #2) serait la seule rencontre entre les deux personnages, vous vous trompiez !
En conclusion de la première année de parution, les séries régulières Star Wars et Star Wars: Darth Vader feront l’évènement en novembre avec le lancement du crossover Vader Down.
D’après l’éditeur, l’histoire voit Dark Vador s’écraser sur une planète de l’Alliance Rebelle. Il devra se frayer un chemin, seul contre toutes les forces ennemies (dont Luke, Han, Chewie et Leïa) qui voient là une façon de porter un coup fatal à l’Empire.
Jason Aaron et Kieron Gillen, deux scénaristes qui se sont côtoyés lors de leur passage sur les séries X-men, chapeautent cette saga qui débutera dans un numéro spécial avant de se répartir entre les deux séries principales.
Si salvador Larroca se charge toujours de la partie graphique de Darth Vader, l’artiste Stuart Immonen (Star Wars #8) sera remplacé par Mike Deodato Jr. le temps de l’évènement.
Quant à Mark Brooks, il est en charge des couvertures.

To defeat their greatest enemy, the Rebel Alliance will risk it all. Yet with it all on the line, could this risky gambit cripple their forces in the fight against the Empire? Find out at this can’t miss crossover event begins on November 18th in the oversized STAR WARS: VADER DOWN #1 and continues in the pages of STAR WARS and DARTH VADER![/quote]
Du coup, il y aura combien de numéros de Vader Down ?
Un seul ?
Parce qu’apparemment, la chronologie sera répartie sur les trois titres… On a ceci, à la fin de Darth Vader 12 :
Pourquoi l’avoir numéroté, du coup ?
Il suffisait de mettre « Darth Vader : Vader Down - Part 1 of 6 », plutôt que « Darth Vader : Vader Down 001 - Vader Down part 1 of 1 » (je viens seulement de voir le « Vader Down part 1 of 1 » sur le dernier visuel T___T)
Aux États-Unis, ils numérotent toutes les sorties même s’il s’agit de ce qu’on appelle couramment un one-shot. Par exemple, le numéro spécial Secret Wars Too est numéroté #1.

[quote]The actual shorthand we used for describing the story was « Predator. » We had the idea of this planet where there was a lot of fog sweeping around and there was this creature in the fog predating. It’s almost like Victorian England and a creature stalking the nights there. We’re definitely seeing him as this kind of force of vengeance and nature.
There’s the famous Rorschach speech of, « I’m not trapped in here with you. You’re trapped in here with me. » This comes back to a lot of the things I deal with in « Darth Vader » in terms of seeing him on the back foot. We’re not really seeing Vader weak, or when you think Vader is weak it’s probably a bad time. Because if you consider Vader weak you’re definitely overestimating your own position.
So at three issues in, which is where we are now, the position is very different from where people thought we started it. It’s Vader. We want it to be scary. He’s not a good guy to be trapped on a planet with. [Laughs][/quote]
