New Releases by Kieron Gillen

"RISING ACTION," Part Four FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! But don't worry, it's probably a metaphor for the creative process or the Hegelian dialectic or something clever so we'll still get taken seriously. FIGHT!

When Darth Vader accidentally finds himself facing off against the Rebel Fleet on his own, he is sent crashing onto a nearby planet.
