This would be a good one to have a look at even if you have not been following the series as it is its own story and you dont really need to know what happened before. Read Full Review
OverallThis is a fantastic issue. I love how Ethan Sacks captured the cold-blooded nature of Bossk. Having him use the other people who were being hunted as bait was fantastic. The dialogue between Bossk and those around him was awesome. I could actually hear Bossk's voice in my head when I was reading. I'm looking forward to seeing how this story progresses. Especially given that Valance and Dengar are probably going to cross paths with Bossk as they seek Boba Fett. Read Full Review
Yet, the hunting storyline involving Bossk is the most compelling material of the series. Valance's reduced role time served the story well as the character isn't starring role material. Using different bounty hunters as the lead every couple of issues will make for a more worthwhile experience as readers explore the scum and villainy of Star Wars. Read Full Review
Star Wars: Bounty Hunters #11 did not thrill me in the plot department, but I appreciate its take on Bossk and enjoyed how its action was drawn and colored. Having not especially kept up with the series before, it also has me excited for the "War of the Bounty Hunters" crossover event to begin next. Read Full Review
One strength that this installment has that predecessors were missing is a much more singular and cohesive storyline, making for an engaging read, even if it doesn't bring with it much overall narrative momentum. Read Full Review
This isn't a bad issue when you get down to it but rather one where the main story doesn't work for me. I know it's a way of bringing Bossk to the forefront since he's going to be tasked with going after Valance, but it's overlong and it's not all that exciting to watch him go through the Hunt itself. I would have preferred more time with some intrigue between Fortuna and the Banking Clan here and to dig into that and more time with the tension between Valance and Dengar that's pushed to the side too quickly. It does look good as expected with this solid art team on it, but the story just left me very cool and distant from most of it. Read Full Review
This issue is largely a standalone and primer for the war of the bounty hunters even coming. And as you can tell by the cover it features bossk heavily.
Now Bossk is one of my favorite SW character of all time despite having less than two hours of actual screen time in any Star Wars media.
This is also arguably the most page time hes gotten since the comics relaunch.
All of this to say I absolutely loved this issue. Hes portrayed exactly as he should be, cold and shrewd but incredibly competent at what he does. Its a basic "the greatest game of all" type of story but it works wonders.
The art and colors are all on point. I was smiling ear to ear reading it. Great read!
Fantastic issue. I like that a such an obscure character is given so much attention. I enjoyed the way that Bosk is portrayed and hope that he sticks around. I was initially skeptical about the series but now after eleven issues I really am glad that I stuck around. In a time where the woke culture has plagued every every aspect of our daily lives, including the comic book industry, It is refreshing to read a series that feels genuine and is free of political activism. What I enjoy the most about this run is that it actually feels like Star Wars to me.
