long time no comic reading post. But I felt like rereading Darth Vader and the Ghost Prison so let's

Lauritaaaaaa the babygirl ever

knocks me out how stunning the art on this series is. Agustin Alessio I owe you my life

🙂🙂🙂🙂

ough. .

this team-up and series just kills me because how old is Lurita even? he looks late teens to early twenties and guess who is also in his late twenties? fucking Vader. they should've been at the club (laurita did go to a club that was a pretty major thing that happened)

Laurita's loyalty to the Empire fascinates me. he does this not just because of the others' betrayal but also because he truly believes, specifically in Vader

The Jedi Temple empty and dark and in cold colors is so wrong I'm obsessed

I'm gonna be honest the concept of the Jedi having a secret prison unknown to Tje Republic is one of the stupidest concepts I've ever heard in my entire life and I do not like i as a concept and yet. this is one of my favorite Star Wars comics ever. Haden Blackman just makes it work idk. and the part in the council chambers is soooo pretty and cool

ignore everything they're saying and just look how pretty this is <3 <3 <3 (I adore Blackman's writing but this feels a bit too much like he's trying to make Obi-Wan the only 'good one' at least in Anakin/Vader's eyes)

so many scenes here just bring up emotions in me i can't describe

close enough, welcome back Eli Vanto (Laurita came 5 years earlier than Eli)

this is so funny because he looks nothing like ROTS. why is he like that

I'm so in love with the unidentified Prism Jedi you don't even know

nobody gives a shit vader

tbh how can you say no to that face

when I first read I got so confused about the Chuchi reference because I knew I was reading a Legends comic and tcw wasn't legends, right? lol. lmao even. big fan of Shonn tho

ok that's it for now not because I'm tired or anything but because of the Tumblr image limit there will be a part two if you care

Forgot to rant when I finished reading Darth Vader and the Ghost Prison but DANG that’s an absolute banger. I didn’t think it would go this dark but heck guess it’s gonna be one of my favorite comics now.

So first of all—love the storytelling aspect here. It’s filed as Tohm’s report after all, so we’re in Tohm’s perspective and when the narrative of the incident ended we still get to see the continuation in “reality”—but yeah just as I thought everything was chill after that…thank goodness I realized that we still don’t know about Tohm’s fate just in time when he went to meet Vader…

Vader…that frocking brat who just keeps killing Imperial elites and gets away with it almost every time…

Anyways. There’s something about cataclysmic destruction on Coruscant and plotting revenge in the hideout that always make my brain go brrr—I mean, last time it was NJO (technically in the future, but last time for me) and now we have a coup this scale in the early days of the Empire? goes feral

General Gentis was such a goat tho. Really did a good job in plotting and acting…a shame what you’re up against are also bad*sses…but yeah I do wonder what it would be like if Gentis did manage to take over 🤔 there’s so much potential in this

Speaking of goat…Tohm. Tohm you absolutely nailed it in your first actual mission. A pity in the end. Such a pity…I had hopes that he might’ve made it to the rank of grand admiral…but guess the Senate™️ had to mention that one triggering word on purpose and guess that one brat-who-did-not-get-to-have-the-rank-of-master had to mess with things

Wait Trachta had actually made his first appearance in the Empire series? Need to read that next. Boy imagine if Tohm didn’t choose Vader to follow, but him instead…

Ok this whole comic series has so much potential. I mean, the Jedi’s secret prison for Dooku’s warriors, the teamwork to preserve Palpatine’s life, the coup itself, the theme of betrayal…and there’re so many amazing scenes, the emotional anguish in certain parts, the storytelling itself, and the the whole vibe of this comic…I just love this so much.

My favorite Star Wars characters are the cool men who are secretly named after food.

back again with Vader & the Ghost Prison rereadthrough

I have things to say. I truly do

Shonn<3

yeah I love Laurita that's it

I had no recollection of Shonn having been married once hmm

Haden Blackman's ability to create the deepest bonds in the least scenes and moments is fucking amazing man

RIP Laurita Tohm you would have loved Eli Vanto

The Grand Moffs of the Galactic Empire are great because you have the ones who dress like the pinnacle of a proper Imperial:

And then you have the ones who don’t give a single shit and go around in leather tank tops and blaster-shaped earrings:
