\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s review is on the last issue of the Ghost Prison storyline starring Darth Vader.\u00a0 To catch you up to speed, an assassination attempt was placed on the Emperor by hidden agents within the Imperial Academy lead by Headmaster Gentis.\u00a0 Darth Vader takes the Emperor to safety with the help Trachta and of one of the graduates, Laurita Tohm.\u00a0 With the Emperor recovering from his wounds, Vader and Tohm find the location of the Ghost Prison, The Ghost Prison is where all the worst prisoners of the Jedi Council were sentenced to serve their time.\u00a0 It was called a Ghost Prison because only a handful of Jedi knew of its existence.\u00a0 Anyway, once at the prison, Vader recruits the best of the bunch and they form a small but affective army to help take back Coruscant from Gentis.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fast forward to issue #5 and we find Tohm discussing tactics with one of those prisoners, Captain Volta, on how to intercept Grand Moff Tarkin\u2019s fleet to warn him about the treachery.\u00a0 You see, since the Emperor got away, stage two of Gentis\u2019s plan was to kill Tarkin for the deaths of the cadets under his command, especially his two sons.\u00a0 As you read on in the issue, you see Tarkin\u2019s arrival as well as his arrest by Gentis.\u00a0 When you turn the page, you realize Vader got to Tarkin in time, because there he is providing an ambush to the traitors on Coruscant.\u00a0 What takes place next is an epic battle that does not go well for Gentis and his followers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This issue is a must to any fan of the Empire or the Dark Side.\u00a0 Why? You ask.\u00a0 Because it shows you how ruthless they are to achieve their goal, which some may say is total domination.\u00a0 Once the battle is said and done, Trachata becomes a Grand Moff for his service and Tohm gets promoted to Admiral.\u00a0 The prisoners are let go and Tohm gives his report to the Emperor and all seems well for Tohm.\u00a0 But let me pose a question, why haven\u2019t we heard of Admiral Tohm before this series?\u00a0 When you get to the end of this issue, you will know the answer to that question.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This issue was by far the best of the entire series!\u00a0 I give it a 15 out of 10 rating.\u00a0 I mean, it is well written and the art is fantastic.\u00a0 This issue will drain you of some emotion; it is written and drawn that damn good.\u00a0 I cannot wait to see what comes next from this series creative team.\u00a0 So, get your issue now, you will be glad you did.\u00a0 Until next time, May the Force be with you.<\/strong><\/p>\n
