![]() ![]() It’s hard to tell why Bossk or Boba Fett even care about finding Lash, outside of some wounded pride or tarnished professionalism. The thing is, of the four stories only two of them have interesting motivations. Each story shows the hunters learning that not only is Lash alive but that there is a pretty sizable bounty on her head, turning this series into a race for the prize. This is where the ambition of Ethan Sacks’ script starts to work against the story, mainly by spreading things too thin. Sacks also throws in the story of another character, T’Onga a former hunter who wants to avenge their brother’s death. The issue then jumps to sometimes between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, following Bossk, Boba Fett, and Valance in the years since that fateful mission. ![]() The mission ends with their leader Lash betraying the mission and killing the son of one of the most powerful crime families in the galaxy. The first half of the issue works, the problems start to develop in the second half of the comic. With those kinds of skills, you don’t really need to have friends. Sometimes you find yourself questioning why all these people are working together, (there’s not even an attempt at feigning professionalism) but it does show how skilled these characters are. It’s action-packed and full of fun little character moments. Bossk is arrogant, Boba Fett almost indestructible, and Valance professional, following the mission to the letter. Each of the characters gets one small moment to shine. The issue begins with what seems to be a fairly standard mission, showcasing each of the hunter’s prowess and (more importantly) attitude. “Star Wars: Bounty Hunters” #1 does a lot of heavy lifting, setting up multiple storylines and characters, all focused on revenge. He has score to settle-but so does Boba Fett! ETHAN SACKS (OLD MAN HAWKEYE and GALAXY’S EDGE) and PAOLO VILLANELLI (VADER: DARK VISIONS and JEDI FALLEN ORDER – DARK TEMPLE) are teaming up to bring you the bounty hunter adventure you’ve been waiting for! Every bounty hunter in the galaxy wants a piece and Valance is hell-bent on getting to the prize first. He never thought he’d face his old mentor ever again…until Lash finally resurfaces under mysterious circumstances. Valance’s team barely escaped with their lives. I’ve not seen much excitement for this series in a long time and considering how much Star Wars fans love their scoundrels and dirtbags, I’ve always felt that the series should be more popular.NEVER BETRAY A BOUNTY HUNTER – ESPECIALLY IF IT’S BOBA FETT! Years ago, VALANCE and fellow bounty hunters BOSSK and BOBA FETT took on a mission that went sideways in a bad way after Valance’s mentor, NAKANO LASH, violently betrayed them. Not sure if they will all be on the same team or not but they will be the core group. Moving forward it looks like the cast will be Khal Tanna, Deathstick, Durge, Boba Fett, Zuckuss, Beilert Valance, and T’onga. If you repeatedly get in their way you’re going to die. The Inferno Squad is made up of ELITE soldiers and assassins. READ NEXT: See all Star Wars comics coming out this week.Īnd it makes sense story-wise for someone to die. Mainly because they are not mentioned in the description for Bounty Hunters #34 and they’re not on any of the upcoming announced covers (unlike Zuckuss) for the run. My best guesses are Losha Tarkon and Tasu Leech. That being said I expect at least one (probably more) of the main characters to die in this issue. I want to clarify that I have NOT read the issue yet. ![]() “ A NEW ERA FOR THE BOUNTY HUNTERS! In the aftermath of the battle with INFERNO SQUAD, VALANCE and T’ONGA are joined by the most dangerous bounty hunters in the galaxy… KHEL TANNA! DEATHSTICK! DURGE! ![]() “INFERNO SQUAD TAKES THE SHOT! The BOUNTY HUNTERS must take on the INFERNO SQUAD head-on! This is the final fight of the Bounty Hunters as you know them! The fallout will shake the lineup to its core… Who STAYS? Who GOES? Who JOINS?” Why do I think that? Well, the publisher descriptions for both this issue and Star Wars: Bounty Hunters #35 tell us exactly what to expect. Star Wars: Bounty Hunters #34 by Ethan Sacks and Marvel Comics comes out tomorrow and we appear to be approaching the end of an era. ![]()
