The series picks up right after Order 66, and Vader's quest for his red lightsaber. Unlike Jedi lightsabers, you don't build it, you kill a jedi, take it, then do some murdering.
This first collection of issues was ok, but I think it suffered from the fact that Gillen's run was so good.
As such, he is given a mission to hunt down (yet another) Jedi who escaped Order 66, defeat that Jedi in combat, then take and corrupt that Jedi's Kyber crystal in order to create his own lightsabre, with the signature red glow of those belonging to the Sith.
All of which he manages to do.
Even if - shockingly - at one point that Jedi seems to be more powerful than Vader himself, both defeating him and throwing him off the top of a cliff.
However, like a bad penny (or smell), Vader, the Dark Lord of the Sith keeps reappearing ...
