Dark Horse has released Tsuneo Sanda’s cover to Darth Vader and the Lost Command #2, which hits shelves February 23rd. Here it is!

With each issue, I’m trying to show Vader in all of his various “roles” – not just as the Jedi Hunter. Wiith all the emphasis on his lightsaber abilities, I think it’s easy to forget that Vader is also a fearsome commander, a skilled mechanic, and (as shown in this issue) a relentless and deadly fighter pilot (among other things…).  

Here’s the solicitation text:

Vader in command! Darth Vader steps up his attacks when his invasion of the Ghost Nebula meets with stiff resistance. But when a courageous beauty offers her help in conquering the system, visions of what his life might have been if he had not betrayed the Jedi and if Padmé was still alive affect the dark lord’s decisions. Vader in turmoil!

* Darth Vader, the darkest lord of the Sith, at his best—and worst!

* Written by The Force Unleashed‘s Haden Blackman!

* Art by Aliens vs. Predator‘s Rick Leonardi!

* Darth Vader and the Lost Command launched Dark Horse into its 20th anniversary of publishing Star Wars.

Issue #1 will be out in January!
