Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Mindless drivel
Review: This book has high points and low points, but the latter, unfortunately, far exceed the former. Which is a shame because Boba Fett has the potential to be such an interesting character and should fit right into the comic book forum. The art in this book was not horrible, but the color scheme -- the same unnatural conglomeration of greens and yellows and reds used in the Dark Empire series, is dull, ugly, and silly. The characters, especially the Hutts, are portrayed as nothing more than morons, and the action (what action?), is slow, pointless and uninteresting.

There are a few little bits of neat dialogue and interesting character insights into the galaxy's most feared bounty hunter, but, just to give you a general idea, it took me three or four tries before I could actually force myself to read this one through to the end. A part of this is because, even though this book is long, it isn't as unified a series as most of the others, and each of the three issues represented here are 48 pages, so they start seeming long and drawn out in their own right.

If you absolutely love Boba Fett, don't buy this one...it'll ruin him for you. If you, however, fancy yourself a Star Wars collector, then I guess this is a necessary addition to your bookshelf. And to end -- a chronological note. This book is officially supposed to take place after Fett's exploits in Dark Empire I & II.

Summary: pretty good, but bounty hunters get too much attention.
Review: this was a good book, but the bounty hunters get so much attention! What i'm trying to say is... I want some book about Wedge! I have no problem with bounty hunters, but give someone else a chance!
