Great news that these 2 show up they have been so underused in the past.

 

Spoiler: Issue #4 preview

 

I'm still kind of amazed that Marvel loves Valance so much they've resurrected him and made him an ongoing hero.

I'd make a Jaxxon joke but he's already back too.

 

I'm avoiding spoilers in the solicitation, but do we have any idea on how many issues this story arc is going to run? I'm assuming 6...

Also, when reading issue 1, was it me or did anyone else think that Khamus was a girl? It wasn't until the 2nd issue when his father said "son" that I realized he was a boy. I think it was the flowing purple clothes and long hair that threw me.

 

Think it's 5

Issue 8:

Spoiler

Some neat Legends references, like the H'uun and Terminus. And nice to see new canon characters being used -- here it's Tasu Leech, drawing on the future Kanjiklub's connections with the Hutts and underground pit fighting. We also get a Fennec Shand namedrop, which I think further indicates her potential connection to the Kanji stuff, since she shares her surname with Kanjiklubber Crokind Shand.

And a new Ohnaka Gang leader, who's more ruthless than Hondo and has presumably taken over and rebuilt the gang since it was broken up pre-Rebels.

As for the plot, it's the usual characters brawling in underworld locations while being tracked by other characters. But a nice flashback to Han Solo: Imperial Cadet all the same.[/spoilers]

 

Haven't seen much of 4-LOM and Zuckuss in canon, and I really like for them to get the spotlight. Of the 6 from the Executor meeting, they are the ones with fewer, rarer appearances... I´m curious for what's coming next!

 

Love how Zuckuss talks in the third person and how he comes off as a superstitious weirdo. Also interested in what could happen with Cadeliah and where her character could go, looking at what happened with Ahsoka.

 

Malastare in the Bounty Hunter game was amazing. Amazingly weird. Amazingly green. Amazingly duggy. I kept trying to break into their houses and was disappointed this was not a programmed thing.

What were we talking about again? Oh right. Bounty Hunter.s.
