    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.

    I think the first arc is just 5 issues, with #6 being the start of a new arc.

    It was always an ongoing. darthzac mistakenly called it a mini in his OP.

    A DEADLY FAVOR!

    • That dangerous job will take the bounty hunter deep into the heart of the pirate-infested space in THE OUTER RIM.

    THE “TERMINUS GAUNTLET” CONTINUES!

    • Trapped on a REBEL transport under attack by pirates, VALANCE must make a desperate gambit to survive.
    • But little does the cyborg bounty hunter know he’s on a collision course with his old rival, DENGAR!
    • Plus, a familiar face makes a shocking return with a plan that will change the underworld forever.

    There's not much to go on other than that Valance had his major accident during the campaign on Mimban, which was in and around 10 BBY. Everything else is somewhere in between.

    Issue 8:
    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]

    Also random Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes appearance, plus a lampshade hung on them repeatedly playing at rowdy bars.

    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.

    THE GREAT HUNT OF MALASTARE!


    • BOSSK awakens to find himself as the hunted instead of the hunter on the forest planet of MALASTARE.
    • But who is the mysterious figure behind the hunting party stalking the infamous TRANDOSHAN?
    • A special solo adventure starring the most savage bounty hunter of all!
    Nice, Malastare doesn't get enough love, not really since the Republic comics and the Bounty Hunter video game.

    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.
