    A really fun issue. And a pretty good start to a new story arc. Which may or may not reunite Valance with his old friend Han Solo. Read Full Review

    There's a fair bit going on here overall and it's an active and busy book - though a lot of it is given over to dialogue as well. The cold open focusing on his time serving in the Empire with Solo felt out of place even though I know it connects to other things. It just didn't flow well as an opening or into the main story and I'd rather have had more time there. Sacks continues to do well in making Valance uninteresting and expanding our view of the bounty hunters out there, the organizations, and how it all works. It just needs a bit more time to slow things down and do some table setting - and to not rely on using the same "famous" bounty hunters constantly. It's a big galaxy out there and the reliance is understandable on many levels but Valance's book feels like it demands more original material. Read Full Review

    The story of Valance picks up pace in this one, worth a look if you have been following the series so far. Read Full Review

    Despite a promising start, seeing Valance navigate through the criminal underworld in a galaxy far, far away is an underwhelming affair. Read Full Review

    After previous issues offered things like "plot" and "character development," this issue is back to the rougher spots of the series, leaning heavily into action and bounty-hunting badassery, seeing Valance not only looking back to his adventures with Han Solo, but also hinting at him teaming up with the Rebellion.

    Star Wars: Bounty Hunters Issue: 8 "The Terminus Gauntlet: Moving Target" Part I Publisher: @marvel Writer: @ethanjsacks Artist: @villanellipaolo Colorist: @arifprianto_arf Cover: Paolo Villanelli & Arif Prianto Letterer: Travis Lanham The Unbroken Clan Syndicate wants the cyborg bounty hunter Beilert Valance dead. Valance, desperate to remove the massive bounty on him, takes on a potentially lucrative mission to pay back a debt. However, this mission is not what it seems as it puts him in a dangerous situation. This issue was a great addition to the series. I absolutely loved how this issue started with a flashback to when Valance was in the Imperial Navy. We find out that Valance and Han Solo have a connection, a more
