Summary: More great information
Review: This is a great book for all Jango Fett fans, all over the United States. Little is already know to the people who heard or "researched" of Jango Fett. But with the ever growing surplus of new books, including this great one, and information a lot can be learned about my favorite Star Wars character.

Summary: Rare, recently produced, poorly done SW comic.
Review: This is a review of the Dark horse comic ISBN 1569716234 published January, 2002 Printed in Canada, story by Ron Marz, Art by Tom Fowler. I have put this book on the SW timeline at -27.1 before NH. This comic features some of the worst artwork I have seen in a star wars based comic produced in the last several years. This story features Jango, Zam and a cameo from Boba. The story is a 3 but the artwork is a 2. I buy these comics for 2 reasons. First is so I can read them with my son. The second is that Lucas licensing sometimes allows Dark Horse to make an important contribution of fact and context to the SW expanded universe. One also buys a comic for its artwork. Because this one fails based on its art, I rounded down to 2 stars.

Summary: Same Warning Not For Everyone
Review: This is the first of a two-book cycle, number one is entitled, "Jango Fett". The second is titled, "Zam Wesell", who is alleged to be the equal of Jango and has at least one skill neither he nor his son Boba will ever have. One other manner that she stands well above Jango is in the volume named for her, it exceeds this book in a variety of ways. There are fans that have searched out every piece of advance information they can about Episode II, this installment is for them. If you wish to enter the theater in May with only the information the trailers have provided, you will want to stay away from this story. This first book has less in the way of spoilers than the second, but again, it will shorten the list of surprises at the theater. For those accustomed to the emotionless hunter that Boba Fett becomes it takes a bit of time to get used to him as a young child. His Father Jango is also much different from the bounty hunter his son will become. He is no more of a welcome sight to those he hunts, but when he is at home everything changes. These first two books with Episode II characters really need to be read in order but there is nothing on the covers to tell the reader which to choose. Once you are inside the books they are extremely different in the way they are illustrated, and for me the Zam Wesell is far better. The second volume also explains a great deal more about both characters, but they are a continuing tale, so all will have their preferences. This first volume also substitutes rough images alone with absolutely no dialogue, and then continues with alien dialogue that are just markings as well. This is a fairly brief work and having a good 15 percent without a storyline dialogue and with art that is more like sketches than a finished product, the second of the two is a better all around book.

Summary: Ready to charm the Fett fan
Review: When Jango Fett makes a lucrative assassination, he finds that the bounty hunter Zam Wesell's involvement cuts out a lot of the profit. So, when a contract to retrieve a stolen artwork is offered, he takes the job. Unknown to him, though, his employer has hired Zam Wesell to undertake the same task. What will it be, competition or cooperation? Their lives may depend on it... My son and I first read the Darth Maul graphic novel, which we both enjoyed immensely. Sad to say, this book does not hold a candle to that one. This book has more of a story line, and the look at Fett's home life is nice. The problem is, though, that the artwork is nowhere near as good as the Darth Maul book. That said, my son loves this book, and gives it an enthusiastic recommendation. Overall, I thought that it was a good book, ready to charm the Fett fan (such as my son).
