Darth Vader and Son by Jeffrey BrownWhy did I read it?
I popped into work today, my second day after a two-week vacation, and my boss was checking in some new books. I recognized some of the artwork from some posts on Pinterest, and I couldn't resist reading it.
What happened?
Anybody remember Star Wars? Everybody right! =D
Well, instead of Darth Vader being reunited with his long lost son and having some problems, imagine Darth Vader raising Luke Skywalker instead.
Now, imagine that this is actually in a comic strip format and its actually for laughs instead of a serious story.
You would be imagining Darth Vader and Son, and you would be laughing a part of your body clean off!
What did I like or not like?
This collection of strips isn't very long, but it is so worth it! The author did an excellent job taking all of the quintessential lines from Star Wars, and working them into a comic situation between Darth Vader and a four-year-old Luke Skywalker.
As an example to whet your appetite, this is one of the ones I really liked:
Darth Vader is looking over the shoulder of his young son, and demands, "Luke, why aren't you ready for school? I'm here to put you back on schedule. Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate you."
Obviously it's so much better with the illustrations, but that gives you a taste of this witty collection of awesomeness :)
