Dull. The story is bland, the apparent main character is a every cybernetic antihero ever, Aphra shows up for no reason except to attempt to tie this book in with the rest of the Marvel Star Wars comics, and Boba Fett and Bossk are both used terribly. There are four storylines at one point, and not a single one of them are interesting. Empire Strikes Back gave the extended universe an incredible gift in including a rogue's gallery of interesting looking bounty hunters for writers to play with, a...

This felt very haphazard. A bounty hunt gone wrong years before gets dredged up when one of its figures reappears, and Bossk, Valance, and Fett all get involved again. The story gets caught up in trying to keep the reason the early hunt went so wrong a secret, which ends up cheapening the impact when it finally does get explained, and it doesn't really justify why these characters would get involved again. And I'm not super familiar with the timeline for Valance's life, but it seems like this mi...

doubt that I’ll continue the series, but I wanted to at least try it for myself! wasn’t super compelled by any of the characters other than one that dies by the end of the volume so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Galaxy's deadliest? HA! More like Galaxy's Dullest, amirite? This was originally posted over at my blog, The Grimoire Reliquary!First off, the art in this volume is by and large fine. Props to Villanelli, good work, I enjoyed looking at this book well enough.Sigh. Why do people at Marvel like the bounty hunter cyborg Beilert Valance so much? He’s not an interesting character. Stormtrooper who lost more and more of his body until he became nothing but a cyborg, bla-dee-blaah. Every time I see him...

Good god, this was bad.Ethan Sacks is quickly growing to be my least favorite comic book author, and could very well replace the equally terrible Jodie Hauser.Nothing Sacks has written has ever appealed to me or made me enjoy his take on Star Wars and now that I’ve read this first volume of Bounty Hunters that definitely isn’t going to happen anytime soon.Bounty Hunters is a mess from cover to cover. The story makes no sense because while it’s bouncing around from panel to panel with zero attemp...

Bounty hunters doing bounty hunter stuff. The artwork and the corny dialogue give this book a classic Star Wars comic book feel, even if everything about it is forgettable. I appreciate that it's not trying to connect in to anything bigger in SW than just this particular little story.

I feel this could easily have been a good comic but the helter skelter story structure that jumps multiple locales and time periods and a protagonist whose look is just a rip-off of The Terminator made it a very hard sell.Still, I understand there’s a big crossover event coming orchestrated by Charles Soule (in whom we trust) that will likely involve some of these characters so I’ll grit my teeth and carry on.

3.5 / 5[Read as single issues.]This is quite blatantly Marvel trying to make the most of the success of The Mandalorian. It's like they're saying "If one badass bounty hunter wasn’t enough, well… here’s more, baby!"I quite liked the character of Beilert Valance. He’s like the Lucasfilm answer to both the T-800 and Edward Elric.Paolo Villanelli’s art doesn’t blow me away, but I appreciate the dynamic and kinetic style he has. Arif Prianto’s colours steal the show.

3.5🌟Fairly heavy handed with the action. There wasn't much plot to ground anything or to make me understand or care what was happening until issue 4. Once there was some meaning to the Melee ensuing it became a decent read. I dig the art and some of the characters could start to grow on me with some more developement. I would definitely pick up a volume 2 if there is one in the works.

Harsh, action-heavy, and more than a little Zack Snyder-feeling in its tonal sensibilities, “Star Wars: Bounty Hunters” feels in more ways than one like a throwback to the gritty, “dude-bro” “Star Wars” comics of the 90s and early 2000s – and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. While series like “Darth Vader,” “Doctor Aphra,” and the mainline “Star Wars” lean heavily into the lore and character side of the galaxy far, far away, “Bounty Hunters” is more about the surface-level thrills, prioritizi...

Following some side characters (who I believe used to be in the original Marvel Star Wars books?), this new series looks at how one fateful event sets a group of bounty hunters on a collision course for one another many years after their last meeting.I wasn't familiar with any of these characters (aside from Boba Fett, and even that's just in passing), but I did enjoy getting to know them. The main character seems to be Valance, although the blurb of the book seems to imply that Bossk and Fett w...

Star Wars Bounty Hunters collects issues 1-5 of the series by Ethan Sacks with art by Paolo Villanelli.Years ago Boba Fett, Bossk, and Valance teamed up on a mission that quickly went bad after being betrayed by a team member. Now the team member has resurfaced and every bounter hunter in the galaxy has set a target. Who will be first to claim the highly valued target?Ugh. This was bad. Extremely bad. Probably the worst Marvel Star Wars comic since the relaunch. Valance is an extremely boring ch...

2.5/5The plot was all over the place and confusing at times with too many characters to keep track of that weren't properly developed. Still not bad enough to make me give up halfway through the volume - but I don't think I'll be continuing with this series. I've seen some complaints about the artstyle in other reviews but for me it was actually a plus and raised my overall rating.

I caught up on all this stuff so I'd know what's going on with all the WAR OF THE BOUNTY HUNTERS stuff and it was not worth it. There's blips of fun to be had, and lots of minor star wars characters hanging out, but this is the star wars comic that has worked the least for me. I just don't care about Valance and I'm worried someone is going to see me reading a book about a guy who looks this embarrassing every time he is on the page.

It’s ok. Kinda drags a little and I don’t love the main guy… but it’s decent

(0-5 stars). I wish there were a way to actually give 0 stars on Goodreads, because this is the definition of terrible. Four issues in and I’ve given up on this series. Besides the fact that the story is lackluster and pointless, it senselessly depicts violence against women in issue #4, one instance of which comes at the hands of Boba Fett in an attempt by the writer to put him on an OT-savior pedestal through some bizarre power fantasy. I have zero tolerance for this in any form of storytellin...

Every Star Wars fan loves Bounty Hunters. So, Marvel realized that and made this epic comic starring Valance and Boba Fett. Art is amazing.

After I read the first issue of this I thought “Oh, this is an unreadable mess.” And yes, keeping track of who’s who amid constant, frothy violence and shifts between different times is challenging.However!I kept reading and eventually the whole story clicked into place and I really appreciated the long game the creative team was playing. I went back and reread certain key pages and it all made sense. I never knew what would happen next (in a good way) and I am eager to read further volumes.

I should have really enjoyed this. I wanted to. I love Boba Fett, Star Wars, and the Mandalorian but this was just...okay. First off, the artwork was quite off putting. Not for me. Second, I didn't really care about the new bounty hunter main character. The arc of job in the past gone wrong with continual flashbacks also didn't really work for me. I won't be coming back for volume 2.
