![]() Meanwhile, the rest of the bounty hunters (T'onga, Bossk, Losha, 4-LOM, and Zuckuss) seek Cadeliah before Crimson Dawn can sink their claws into her. He might even get a side romance, despite who he truly loves. In one, Valance works for Vader mostly against his will, because he wants his loved ones safe, and the threat of their demise keeps him going. ![]() ![]() There are two different story lines going on with the main bounty hunter characters present. This graphic novel is the fifth installment in the Bounty Hunters line of comics containing issues 23-28. And for this “Star Wars” fan, that’s a mighty attractive quality indeed. “Star Wars: Bounty Hunters” isn’t, nor ever has been, a particularly GREAT comic…but it is an unapologetic one. The fact that writer Ethan Sacks has ALSO managed to build upon and integrate certain dangling narrative threads from the films into the series’ ongoing story serves to add a nice additional flavor to what are – let’s face it - pretty vanilla proceedings at this point. For me? I kind of dig the series’ unabashed embrace of its own cheesiness – for better and for worse, this is a series that knows EXACTLY what it is and what its readers expect from it, and it consistently provides those things without hesitation or shame. Volume 5 of “Star Wars: Bounty Hunters” is more of the same: lots of machismo action, a heaping of 80s-style action-movie dialogue, and characters that are, like, SUPER METAL DUDE (no lie – more often than not, “Bounty Hunters” reads like a “Star Wars” comic as written by Rod Liefeld at the peak of his output).īased on all of those aforementioned qualities, you probably already know if this a comic is for you. The book finishes with a cover gallery including variant covers. I also like the guest stars as well as the direction the book is going. I especially liked the artwork from issue 24 onwards. I also like the characters starting to fit together. This had been the most action-packed book of this series so far. Valance is starting fit into his new role as an Imperial soldier, but can he, or anyone, trust the Empire or Vader? However, does anyone have a choice? The Bounty Hunters have been hired for a rescue mission against Chrimson Dawn, Chrimson Dawn is everywhere, and you never know who is part of it, or how they could be recruited. The only thing I did not like about this book was that there were two fights where stone-cold killers suddenly decided to walk away did not make sense to me, but did lead to some character development and direction so I can forgive that.ĭengar has had enough of being disrespected and underestimated, or is this his leverage? Now he has to play the stakes on both sides. ![]() This has been my favourite book in the Bounty Hunters series so far. ![]()
