Wer vermag, das Schwert aus dem Stein zu ziehen? Es ist Weihnachtsabend. Als plötzlich Excalibur in London erscheint, will jeder der Könige die sagenumwobene Klinge und damit den Thron für sich beanspruchen. Doch dazu müssen sie erstmal an Bridget, Rose und Duncan vorbei. Nun, da Leir befreit wurde, ist ohnehin Chaos der einzig wahre Herrscher. Drastische Maßnahmen müssen getroffen werden. Können ein Abstieg in die Hölle, eine Reise in die Anderswelt und das Jenseits die tödliche Gefahr abwenden, in der unsere Helden schweben? New-York-Times-Bestseller-Autor Kieron Gillen (The Wicked + The Divine, Star Wars), Dan Mora (Klaus), und Koloristin Tamra Bonvillain (The Red Mother) bringen ihre von Fans und Kritik gleichermaßen gefeierte Reihe zu einem krönenden Abschluss.

Darth Vader dient als gnadenloser Vollstrecker Imperator Palpatine. Da Vader die Zerstörung des Todessterns jedoch nicht verhindern konnte, war er bei seinem Meister in Ungnade gefallen. Nun scheint es, als hätte Vader dessen Prüfungen allesamt bestanden und die Gunst des Imperators zurückerlangt. Doch Vader verfolgt im Geheimen weiter seine ganz eigenen Ziele und so kommt es zum unausweichlichen Showdown im großen Finale der Darth Vader-Reihe.

Der König ist untot. Lang lebe der König. Um an die Macht zu gelangen, benutzt eine nationalistische Gruppe ein uraltes Artefakt, um einen Bösewicht aus dem Artus-Mythos von den Toten zurückzubringen. Die ehemalige Monsterjägerin Bridgette McGuire nutzt die Verwirrung, flieht aus ihrem Altersheim und zieht ihren ahnungslosen Enkel Duncan in eine Welt voller Magie und Mystik, wild entschlossen, der Bedrohung entgegenzutreten.

AUF DER SUCHE NACH DER REBELLENFLOTTE Han, Leia und Luke versuchen, die in der Galaxis verteilte Rebellenflotte aufzuspüren. Dazu müssen sie zu einem Kontaktmann nach Brentaal IV. Doch das ist nicht so einfach, denn ihnen ist nicht nur das Imperium auf den Fersen, sondern sie besitzen auch kein Schiff. Der schwer beschädigte Falke befindet sich nämlich auf einem der geflüchteten Rebellenkreuzer. Deshalb haben sie Sana Starros angeheuert, sie nach Brentaal IV zu fliegen. Allerdings geraten sie auf dem Weg in eine Imperiale Kontrolle und den Rebellen bleibt nur noch ein Ausweg: Die Flucht in einer Rettungskapsel. Inhalt: US-STAR WARS #56-61

Da er die Vernichtung des ersten Todessterns nicht verhindern konnte, ist Darth Vaders Kredit bei Imperator Palpatine verspielt. Jener sucht bereits nach potenziellen Nachfolgern des Dunklen Lords. Nun entsendet er seinen Vollstrecker zum Planeten Shu-Torun, um sich dessen Erzvorkommen zu sichern. Und wie üblich schlägt Vader mit aller Macht und Härte zu, um den Willen seines Meisters durchzusetzen.
