Spoilers abound in this episode as we parse each page of Darth Vader #4 and try to glean how much of Anakin is left within Darth Vader and whether Padmé's grip on him can ever be relinquished. We also touch on John Tyler Christopher's new collection of his action-figure cover variants (and his plans for more), as well as touch on the news about new printings of Bounty Hunters #1 and Darth Vader #3 and some scheduling changes for IDW's Star Wars Adventures comics.
