If Phil Hartman taught us anything, it's these simple facts:1. Don't bet against Don Shula at home, and 2. Don't try and betray Darth Vader.

This second lesson is on display in Darth Vader #18, with multiple people lining up to show how stupid they are. Cylo's helpers prove to be an asset (to an extent), and just about everyone is certain they can control the new Queen. They may also wish to look at #2 before they make that final determination. Another fine issue by Gillen and Larroca, with a fine fine (that's twice as fine) cover by Kaare Andrews.

Special note for all of you BeeTee and Triple Zero fans- Triple Zero has a plan to drain blood from humans, and if they get enough blood, they can....well, it's too awful to say here. It's so awful that Vader does the Sith lord equivalent of putting his hands over his ears and going "LALALALALA". If you like that sort of thing, it's worth a peek. A red, dripping peek.
