Star Wars: Darth Vader #16 Palpatine has been grooming several possible replacements for Vader. One of them decided to take his shot. "You come at the king, you best not miss."

I'm disappointed that Palpy even had to ask and also the look of alarm/confusion/whatever on his face. His response should have been, "Yes, good."

Sidious' whole thing is ignoring the Rule of Two and setting apprentices against one another so no-one ever surpasses him (hence why he beat the gently caress out of Maul and ordered Ventress' death in Clone Wars and was training Dooku at the same time as Maul). Vader trouncing his next choice could easily be a "oh... gently caress, he might be TOO strong..." moment.

I liked the Hawkman mini-series by Tim Truman. Not the ongoing. Just the mini.

I've only been able to glean little pieces of the newer comics, but it's all....weird. Half the time Vader's massively needy and Palpatine can't put up with him being so(Fair enough, being a broken man will do that, as is the 'I'm sick of your poo poo, Vader'), and half the time Palpatine is openly pushing him to break further, and/but the two are so antagonistic it's a wonder Vader held himself from killing him for so long, power difference or not. I feel...there's something missing.

It really isn't that complex. Vader was a broken man. He had literally nothing going for him but clinging to what he'd already done because there was no going backwards. However he's also not enough of a self-loathing rear end in a top hat to kill himself. So Palpatine either wants to break him so he can be rid of the lovely half-life samurai he made or he wants to force him to step up and be the guy Palpatine actually wanted. Either way Palpatine wins. Vader eventually is willing to kill Palpatine to save his son's life because he finally has a way to break free of Palpatine's long-term gaslighting.

I've only read the Vader comics but they were really good and demonstrated the relationship that Vader has with the Emperor - a sort of hard knock dad / teacher and his cocky but underperforming pupil. Palpatine basically has a Vader replacement program that causes tension while Vader also investigates the guy who blew up the Death Star. Also ThreeZero and BT are awesome. Here's some context:  and here's a great payoff later on. Note that they're gambling with stolen imperial funds and that ThreeZero is very bad at the game they're playing and knew this going in:

I recently picked up the first trade for superman rebirth and I was really surprised by how good it was. Guess the later issues seem to be continuing that trend.

I remember a series of panels (either one page or two) in which a group of antiheroes, including Deadpool and the Punisher, have teamed up. They were fighting a man who was using some power to make them feel joy. Everybody but Punisher was curled up on the ground laughing with delight after only a few steps, but Punisher slowly walked up to the guy and knocked him out of a window. It was really cool, and one of the very few Punisher moments I like. Does anybody have those panels?

Don't have the panels, but it was the Thunderbolts Annual by Acker and Blacker.

It is indeed the Thunderbolts Annual, and it is magical.    And then they all go out for shwarma or at least get their memories altered to think they do. Gnome de plume fucked around with this message at 10:57 on Jan 22, 2017 |

`Yeah, I remember reading that at some point and it was just as awesome back then. It hit home how great Jedi were at handling threats non-lethally when they could and how you'd imagine a group who values life, even the sort of people he was fighting, would actually act when they had time to prepare. Like, hey, you're a bunch of people with what amounts to precognition and great reflexes and aim, why WOULDN'T you just disarm everyone and put them in jail? As long as you aren't fighting Sith or something and actually have a challenge, this just works in terms of execution.

Pretty sure that guy is going to bleed out from the two massive holes on his legs. Or they'll at least have to amputate them.
