Darth Vader is one of the most popular Star Wars characters – and one of the Galaxy’s fiercest warriors. But starting with July 3’s Target Vader #1 from writer Robbie Thompson and artist Marc Laming (who passes the reins to Stefano Landini starting with #2), he’ll be square in the sights of a team of bounty hunters – and a mysterious criminal syndicate. Newsarama spoke with Thompson about pitting Darth Vader against not just a physical threat, but an unraveling mystery as he works to dismantle the Hidden Hand, a criminal organization who’ve hired a crew of ruthless bounty hunters to take down the Dark Lord of the Sith.
