Rating: 4 [ Shrapnal`s review ]Boba fett didn`t die in the pit of carcoon. He escaped after finding out about the inteligent life form inside the salaac. That`s why he was able to be written about in this extreme comic book. Action is kept up through the intire book. It prooves Boba Fett`s skill and power. I love the literature that is used by all of the main people. Boba fett`s calm atmosphere makes his killings seem athentic to his personality. YOU GOTTA READ THIS BOOK!
Rating: 2 [ Mindless drivel ]
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.
Rating: 2 [ Meh. ]
Nothing to notable here. The plot was overall quite shaky, with an inconsistent mix of humor and action. Cam Kenndey's art is its usual.... uniqueness. Like it or not, it will take some getting used to.The stories are odd and at times rather ludicrous. Overall, if you want some nice Boba Fett/bounty hunter action, look for 'Enemy of the Empire' and the 'Shadows of the Empire' comic.
