You want bounty hunters in action? You want this issue! This is the best issue yet in this series with a play finally being made to kill Vader, but the Sith doesn't fall into the bounty hunters' trap easily. The story is fantastic with each character and action superb. The visuals, especially the battles between the ships are wonderful, though I'm still having issues with humans' faces. This is Star Wars action at its finest. Recommended. Read Full Review
There's a good sense of fun about this book in that you have characters that know what they're doing and are executing the plan without a lot of snark or quips. They're there but it feels more limited and more serious, which I definitely appreciate. Thompson gives us a bit more on Valance and I'm slowly warming up to him a little more but not in the way that's probably really needed. Landini's artwork definitely works well with this story and the action sequence are fantastic. I'm excited about the ending that we get here as it shifts everything to the ground and we're about to see the plan go all sorts of wrong very fast and probably very deadly. Vader as a target is nothing new but watching the way various people or groups have tried to take him down makes for a good read. Read Full Review
If bounty hunters are your thing, this issue is the series' high point so far, but if you were hoping for a compelling or unconventional series, you'll still be left wanting more. Read Full Review
Great to get a bit of backstory. And soon he will learm a lesson that one cannot merely shoot Vader.
The short backstory at the start of the issue was the best thing about it. Mostly action besides.
