This is a different series since Pete is not who he thinks he is. All that is set up in the first book, and we don’t get the background here. It does play into the philosophizing we get in the book, but that should have been cut back. The main plot is good with some great twists. The ending is a bit convoluted, but it does work. The book has a lot of humor, which made me laugh at times and made me cringe at others. Overall, I’m glad I finally pulled this off my shelves and read it.

The fact that some of the scenes between Morrow and Corday could conceivably be quite effective in a more conventional movie just adds to the general weirdness of the whole Giant Claw experience. Normally I would attempt to describe the impact made by the boggle-eyed monster puppet, but words are just not enough. All you really need to know is that star Jeff Morrow left the first screening of the movie he saw early, afraid he might be recognised, went home and allegedly started drinking. I would say get the drinking out of the way before you watch the movie.

At a time when the average Hammer horror was brazenly carnal and exploitative, and Amicus' line of portmanteaus was recycling the same jokey twist endings, The Asphyx takes itself wholly seriously and is positively bleak throughout - the whole movie is about death and despair, and the effects this can have on people. (At one point the plot boils down to a race between two characters to see which one of them can commit suicide first.) The intensity of the telling (good performances from the leads) makes it somewhat mesmerising to watch, even if it's a slightly chilly and unsettling experience.

Having read this, it almost seems like the planet itself is more-or-less a stand in for Mustafar, complete with boiling lakes of lava and a character falling into such (sound familar at all?). Vader also seemingly has completely forgotten about the news Boba Fett brought him previously re. Luke Skywalker, as there's not a single mention of him at all in these pages. There's also nothing like the panels in Vader down, where he single-handedly takes on an entire platoon (and wins).
In short, the story-arc itself is a little forgettable, with no real connection to the films, and with no panels showing just why Vader is so feared.
