Star Wars: Vader – Dark Visions #2 | “Unacceptable” — Vader’s Wrath Unleashed!

⚫🔥 Star Wars: Vader – Dark Visions #2 Review — “Unacceptable” | Vader’s Wrath Unleashed! 🚀

To command an Imperial Star Destroyer is one of the most prestigious roles in the Galactic Empire…

But that honor comes with a terrifying price — failure is NOT an option.


In Star Wars: Vader – Dark Visions #2, “Unacceptable,” we witness a story where one Imperial officer will do anything to avoid the judgment of Darth Vader. We know Vader as a warrior and destroyer of worlds, but this issue focuses on the horror of simply being on his bad side. And trust us — the consequences are unforgettable.


💬 In this video, we discuss:


The brutal reality of serving under Darth Vader


How fear drives the entire Imperial war machine


The intensity and pacing of Issue #2


The emotional and psychological angle of the story


Why this issue perfectly captures the terror of the Dark Side


This comic shows a very different side of Vader from Issue #1 — not a savior, not a misunderstood knight — but a merciless symbol of fear and absolute authority.


📚 Have you read Dark Visions #2?

Let me know in the comments — did you sympathize with the Imperial officer, or was his fate deserved?

The Autism Scene: Exploring Comics & Animation Through a Neurodiverse Lens

Welcome to The Autism Scene: Exploring Comics & Animation Through a Neurodiverse Lens 🎨🧠


In this video, we dive into the vibrant world of comics and animation from the perspective of the autistic community, with Britton Payne from The Autism Scene. and his creative writing competition Auspec Awards. How do autistic creators and fans connect with visual storytelling? What makes these art forms so powerful for self-expression, identity, and communication?


Britton Payne is an entertainment attorney, recently of Warner Bros. Animation and Nickelodeon. On the side, Brit regularly presents at comic cons and elsewhere about autism and pop culture, including “Authentically Creating Autistic Characters,” “Autism in Comic Books,” and “After 50 Years, Why do Spidey Super Stories Comics Still Matter to Autistic Kids and Everybody Else?.” This year, Brit started The Autism Scene, a nonprofit advocating for the inclusion of explicitly autistic characters in kids pop culture. This winter, The Autism Scene is running the AuSPEC AWARDS, a kids animated series spec script competition, which requires a series regular meaningfully interacting with an explicitly autistic character. Brit and his wife Alice are active community members of The Frostig School in Pasadena, which is dedicated to helping children, teens and young adults with learning differences live and learn to their full potential.
