Not entirely surprising, given the very public removal of writer Chuck Wendig, but Marvel have opted to cancel altogether their 5 issues mini series Shadow of Vader from their schedules.

But would Marvel publish his first three issues then drop him for another writer? It seems not. Retailers have been told that thet first three issues are being scrapped and will not be published or resolicited.

The series was announced with much fanfare at NYCC, getting the Star Wars novelist to write a new Darth Vader comic book. But it was not to be.

Looks like Emperor Palpatine intervened…?
