The best thing in the Marvel Star Wars line, and the reason is Doctor Aphra.

Vader after the Death Star, demoted and distrusted, running his own investigation into who the pilot was while assembling a crew nobody authorised. Giving him an archaeologist with no scruples and two murderous droids turns a figure of pure menace into someone you can actually follow for an arc.

The droids are a straight parody of Threepio and Artoo and they are the funniest thing in it.
