01 · Issue summary
Why this issue is in the archive
Launch issue of Charles Soule and Luke Ross's Kylo Ren series examining Vader's influence on the Supreme Leader.
IDS includes this issue as a researched milestone rather than claiming that every issue from the full Star Wars comic history is already normalized. Milestone status can reflect a launch, finale, first appearance, crossover role, notable creator credit, adaptation, or collector significance.

Date, continuity, and series context
Legacy of Vader #1 is indexed for February 5, 2025 from Marvel. It belongs to Canon continuity and the Rise of the First Order era.
The issue record stays separate from variants and collected editions so the original numbered publication is not confused with later reprints, trade paperbacks, omnibuses, or alternate covers.

How to identify the physical issue
Match the series title, issue number, publisher, publication date, cover designation, printing, and barcode or indicia before assigning rarity or value. A variant cover normally contains the same interior story unless the publisher identifies it as a separate printing or edition.
The image displayed here is deliberately labeled as representative unless IDS has exact issue-cover data. The primary source remains the authority for exact issue art and creator credits.

Why milestone issues matter
Comic issues are both stories and physical objects. Their significance can come from narrative events, first appearances, publication timing, cover programs, scarcity, creator work, or the later history of characters introduced on the page.
IDS keeps those dimensions separate so collector importance does not automatically become a claim about narrative importance, and vice versa.
