Star Wars: War Of The Bounty Hunters Event In 6 Marvel Comics in May

Published Thu, 18 Feb 2021 09:39:08 -0600

We mentioned the launch of the Star Wars: War Of The Bounty Hunters event from Marvel Comics, beginning with Star Wars: War Of The Bounty Hunters Alpha #1 in May. But we didn't know it would kick off a Prelude to Star Wars: War Of The Bounty Hunters in all the other titles out that month (save for High Republic which is doing its own thing).

Not only does Star Wars: War Of The Bounty Hunters Alpha #1 also come with a Directors Cut edition that includes designs, production notes, script and other back matter, but Prelude To War Of The Bounty Hunters runs in Star Wars #13, Star Wars: Bounty Hunters #12, Star Wars: Darth Vader #12 and Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #10.

With everyone trying to get the carbonite Han Solo from Bob Fett. Bounty hunters Valance and his reluctant partner Dengar want their share but are also being pursued, Chewbacca is hunting on Smuggler's Moon, Darth Vader is being reconstructed on Coruscant and Doctor Aphra and Sana Starros are bumping into Boba. We all know how it ends – but the fun is following the journey…
