Marvel just started a series called Darth Vader last year. Click Here
I think it's going to be 25 issues and then done; there is a collected crossover called Vader Down that is worth getting also.
Amazon is really good. Instead of buying each issue individually, I buy the volumes. They bundle six issues into one book.
They publish collections of the comics, and I buy those at a regular bookstore. I like being able to put these on a shelf, more like a book (and I don't need to track down individual issues, I can just buy the collections when they are published).
Ok got that, I have another question about the comics: Are these like little parts of a larger story, where you have to buy more comics or are those comics you recommend thick books with a lot of pages and a story themselves? And do you mean this here: http://www.amazon.de/Star-Wars-Darth-Vader-Marvel/dp/0785192557/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453229850&sr=8-1&keywords=star+wars+vader+comic

There’s a few collected editions. Amazon link for Volume 1.
Amazon has the TPBs now: https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Darth-Vader-Marvel/dp/0785192557/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1484096798&sr=1-1&keywords=vader+comic
I'm read up on all the collections so far - REALLY good stuff.
I haven't read much of the older stuff. This what I like of the newer Marvel Star Wars comics:
You can get them direct from marvel, but you can't get back issues: https://subscriptions.marvel.com They're only a few bucks a pop this way, but if you would only enjoy them in super-mint condition, the mail version isn't for you.
You can also wait until the trade paperback is out (typically, a collection of 4, 6, 12, etc comics). Here's the first six issues of Marvel Darth Vader: https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Darth-Vader-Marvel/dp/0785192557/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1496943205&sr=8-1
I also HIGHLY recommend reading Darth Vader and the Ghost Prison as it's one of my favorite (now non-canon/legends) Star Wars stories. It's written by Haden Blackman, who directed the video games The Force Unleashed 1 & 2. The art is absolutely beautiful and it's a must read for fans in my opinion.
Well, you've come to the right thread, friend! :D
What kinds of books/movies/TV do you normally tend to enjoy?
A brief scan of your reddit history seems to suggest you like Star Wars. There are a lot of new Star Wars comics out, many of which have gotten pretty good reviews. A new one starring a lesbian/bi woman, Doctor Aphra, just started. She was also featured in the latest Darth Vader comic (which I haven't read yet, but have heard good things from the people on this sub and in general!).
For another space fantasy type thing, I would also recommend checking out Saga, which is one of the most popular titles right now and features some LGBTQ characters in its supporting cast.
You can buy the trade paperbacks of the comics.
There are 5 trade paperback collections that will cover the entire 25-issue series. 4 are out now and the 5th will be out in December.
Amazon links:
Vol. 3 - Issues #13-19 and the Darth Vader Annual
You could get all 5 for about $65 in TPB format, a little less if you buy them digitally.
Only $14 for the first volume, I think each volume has about 6 or so issues. It's not terrible, beats paying $4 or $5 per issue.
You can either buy digital comics from Marvel's website or if Amazon delivers to Poland, wait for the Paperback release in October.
there are three^^1 different^^2 volumes^^3 on amazon.
