Star wars bounty hunters comic series#

Boba Fett is in possession of Han Solo at the end of Empire Strikes Back, and at the beginning of War of the Bounty Hunters, he is not. It's basically Boba Fett, by himself, against all of these people. And a bunch of others, factions and so on, that I think will be really interesting for the fans. 'The main story that we're dealing with is a Boba Fett-focused crime epic, that involves Boba Fett going up against some of the heaviest hitters in the galaxy. Soule had this to say about the main story. Marvel has released some preview art, which reveals some of the trouble Boba Fett faced in delivering Solo to Jabba. A five-issue War of the Bounty Hunters miniseries from Charles Soule and Luke Ross will anchor the story. Titles participating in the event include Star Wars, Bounty Hunters, Darth Vader and Doctor Aphra. It will spin out of the current run of The Empire Strikes Back stories being told in the Star Wars line. The event will be sprawling, like many Marvel Comics crossovers. And I was like, 'I would like to tell that story, and I would like it to be about Boba Fett and what happens to him.' Something had to happen in between that intervening time between Empire and Jedi. Why can’t we get a double ship on the Star Wars books?!?!? 9.'Boba Fett clearly doesn't take Han Solo directly to Jabba's palace. Ethan Sacks does a masterful job of introducing our cast while planting the seeds of what looks to be a thrilling story. Final Thoughts:Īs with the current Star Wars, and Vader comic, Bounty Hunters takes a huge gamble/risk in tackling the period of time that starts literally as soon as The Empire Strikes Back ends. It creates what becomes a special or “sentimental” bounty that EVERYONE wants to collect on. The use of the flashback ends up making the issue by the end. We also get a glimpse of one of the most famous heroes in the Star Wars universe. It’ll make sense when you read it, trust me. We get a cameo by a well-known character that is used as a set up of sorts. Browse the Marvel Comics issue Star Wars: Bounty Hunters (2020) 32. The only thing I was expecting and kind of missed was the use of the opening crawl used as the credits page. An escape to a huge variety of races, planets, costumes, weaponry, and almost endless possibilities. An escape from the real world, from everyday life.

Sacks also gives us one of the things I like the most about Star Wars and comics in general. And does Paolo Villanelli deliver!īy the number of variant covers I’ve seen, a lot of people at Marvel are banking on people coming for Bobba Fett too! Speaking of variants here’s on by Kaare Kyle Andrews.

While Valance may be front and center on the cover, I’m here for Boba Fett. I guess he’s in the right line of work then, right? And while this certainly isn’t a lightsaber, I wouldn’t hold your breath if you expect to see Bossk in an X-Men cross over! Bossk certainly seems like a confident yet extremely arrogant guy, doesn’t he? He strikes me also as very violent and a bit of a savage.

Swords have certainly been in vogue at Marvel lately. The name “The Mourner’s Wail” for a crime syndicate is a perfect name! Very thoughtful and creative. Marvel Comics clearly took the popularity of The Mandalorian to heart and you’ll find this very evident in this issue.Įthan Sacks introduces the characters in the form of a flashback as we open the issue, and it also sets up the present story. As an avid gamer, my favorite Star Wars video game is Star Wars Bounty Hunter!
