In April's Star Wars: Darth Vader #3, by Greg Pak and Raffaele Ienco, the former Anakin Skywalker will be reunited with his departed wife Padmé Amidala, something that was teased for Issue #2.
According to Marvel's solicitation text for the upcoming issue, "Darth Vader has formed an unlikely partnership with an eerie shadow from his previous life." It also teases Vader returning to Naboo, and Inhyuk Lee's cover art features him and Padmé standing side-by-side.
Of course, the solicitation also heavily implies that the "Padmé" Vader encounters is merely a ghost from his past. Nevertheless, it's a reunion that will certainly be worth visiting for Star Wars fans.
The cover art and solicitation text are below:
