From then on, everything evolved as if the faeries willed it so. I began painting faeries whenever I had spare time, and my boss was kind enough to give me a section in the shop to display them. Three days later, the piece sold, so I decided to paint another. I asked her what I should paint, and she said, “I don’t know, paint a fairy or something.” So, I did. One day, my boss asked me to paint something to fill an empty frame that was sitting around the shop. ![]() I’ve always been interested in faeries but had never considered them to be a career option!

Still, one can’t help but feel reading this that it might be time to give ol’ Darth a break for a while. To its credit, Volume 4 continues Pak’s series’ strong run, introducing compelling new narrative elements into the mix that manage to reinvigorate the proceedings a tad bit more than what one might expect. Darth Vader is a FANTASTIC character…but even the best of characters can only have so many comic issues written about them before one starts to suspect that most of what can be said about said character has probably ALREADY been said.

Greg Pak’s “Darth Vader” run has been, in many ways, an interesting mix of the previous ongoing “Darth Vader” series, mixing the twisty-turny plotlines that characterized Kieron Gillen’s first run with the more bombastic, “blockbuster”-y elements that made Charles Soule’s series so consistently entertaining. ![]() |
