Star Wars: Darth Vader – Black, White & Red is a 4-part anthology series by Marvel comics that is due to hit shelves this April. The series will mark the return of Jason Aaron, who wrote much of the 2015 main Star Wars run to kick off the new era of canon comics after Disney acquired the IP. You can learn more about the series in the announcement here.
I anticipate this being a hugely popular mini-series. And popular comics usually get a ton of very cool variants. Because of that I will be keeping tabs on every new cover, appearance, exclusive, etc. here on this page.
Below I’ve included every variant that we know of so far but will be adding to the list anytime something new is announced.
So check back often for all news on Star Wars: Darth Vader – Black, White, & Red. Also be sure to follow @drunkwooky on Instagram for more updates and cover reveals for all Star Wars books and comics.
