With precious cargo and a price on his head， Valance must turn to the one person he can trust。 But the Unbroken Clan has sent a unique and deadly pair of bounty hunters after him！ No one in the galaxy can escape the combined cunning of 4-LOM and Zuckuss！ Wounded and on the run， Valance reunites with a long-lost love in a secret rebel base — but the deadliest bounty hunting duo in the galaxy are closing in！ The pair are ready to capture their quarry， dead or alive — and they brought an army of Clone War-era Battle Droids with them！ As Valance makes a desperate gambit to survive， he’ll risk the wrath of pirates in the Outer Rim…and set himself on a collision course with his old rival， Dengar！

Who would have thought a series about the bounty hunters in Star Wars could be so boring？

Glad this series has improved。 The art has been there since day one， but now the plot and characters are finally starting to catch up。 It's funny how the villain， child， and clan plotline from the first arc are seemingly abandoned， but it's probably why I enjoyed this volume a lot more。 Glad this series has improved。 The art has been there since day one， but now the plot and characters are finally starting to catch up。 It's funny how the villain， child， and clan plotline from the first arc are seemingly abandoned， but it's probably why I enjoyed this volume a lot more。 。。。more

Star Wars: Bounty Hunters Vol。 2 Target Valance collects issues 6-11 of the series written by Ethan Sacks and art by Paolo Villanelli。 Bounty hunters back stab each otger， fight， and blow stuff up。 I really don't know if there is a plot beyond that。 I have not liked this series at all from conception （Target Vader） to this current volume。 This book feels like something that would have released in the mid 90s height of action comics。 There is little plot， just fight and explosions。 If that's your Star Wars: Bounty Hunters Vol。 2 Target Valance collects issues 6-11 of the series written by Ethan Sacks and art by Paolo Villanelli。 Bounty hunters back stab each otger， fight， and blow stuff up。 I really don't know if there is a plot beyond that。 I have not liked this series at all from conception （Target Vader） to this current volume。 This book feels like something that would have released in the mid 90s height of action comics。 There is little plot， just fight and explosions。 If that's your thing， you will enjoy this。 We did get a little more backstory for Valance to try to get us to care more about him。 I would drop it， but I'm still hoping for a creative change because it has potential。 。。。more

Kind of a sub-par volume。 Paper thin plot with a tonnes of action sequences doesn't really work for me often， but I have enjoyed Ethan Sacks' work before。 I might read a volume 3 but there are so many good books these days。 Kind of a sub-par volume。 Paper thin plot with a tonnes of action sequences doesn't really work for me often， but I have enjoyed Ethan Sacks' work before。 I might read a volume 3 but there are so many good books these days。 。。。more

“Star Wars: Bounty Hunters” continues to be the weird， slightly gangly runt of the current pack of “Star Wars” comics: it’s a little weird， it sometimes tries to juggle a few too many things at once， and chances are， it delivers at least one hard eyeroll per issue…but it’s rarely boring， and oftentimes， page-for-page， it might even be the most solidly entertaining run on the shelves。 Volume 2 ups the ante even more from Volume 1， as writer Ethan Sacks and artist Paolo Villanelli continue to fles “Star Wars: Bounty Hunters” continues to be the weird， slightly gangly runt of the current pack of “Star Wars” comics: it’s a little weird， it sometimes tries to juggle a few too many things at once， and chances are， it delivers at least one hard eyeroll per issue…but it’s rarely boring， and oftentimes， page-for-page， it might even be the most solidly entertaining run on the shelves。 Volume 2 ups the ante even more from Volume 1， as writer Ethan Sacks and artist Paolo Villanelli continue to flesh out the bounty hunting-side of the Star Wars universe， expanding the scope of characters and even tying in certain elements to the broader narrative action happening post-Empire， pre-Return of the Jedi。 It might not represent awards-worthy storytelling， but as a throwback to the action-heavy “bro-comics” of the 90s， set in that galaxy far， far away， “Star Wars: Bounty Hunters” consistently delivers exactly what it promises， which is more than a lot of modern comics can say。 。。。more

The second volume of Bounty Hunters is a little disappointing given how optimistic I was at the end of the last volume。The first two issues are a direct follow-up， as Valance tries to find a safe haven for his latest charge and takes her back to meet his childhood sweetheart。 I thought this would have lasted longer， but it seems like Valance couldn't wait to get shot of his new friend， so it feels like a step backwards。The next three issues feature Valance getting his butt kicked after someone c The second volume of Bounty Hunters is a little disappointing given how optimistic I was at the end of the last volume。The first two issues are a direct follow-up， as Valance tries to find a safe haven for his latest charge and takes her back to meet his childhood sweetheart。 I thought this would have lasted longer， but it seems like Valance couldn't wait to get shot of his new friend， so it feels like a step backwards。The next three issues feature Valance getting his butt kicked after someone calls in a favour。 There's definitely a sense that this arc is more about moving characters around for the War Of The Bounty Hunters crossover that's coming next， but comes across as redundant。 Valance takes yet another beating - the guy can't catch a break。Then the final issue of the volume is a one-shot featuring the return of Bossk， who I'd forgotten about， as he also makes his way towards War Of The Bounty Hunters。 It's fine， I guess？The art's still pretty great though。 Paolo Villanelli continues an unbroken streak of 11 issues， and the quality remains consistent throughout。 He doesn't skimp on details or backgrounds， and the colouring feels really rich as well， especially given that the Star Wars universe can get a bit bland in that regard。This is just okay - there's definitely a sense of spinning the wheels and just shifting people across the chessboard for what's coming next， but there's a more entertaining way of doing it than this。 At least it looks pretty。 。。。more

I find myself really enjoying this not as much for the main character， Valance， but for the Star Wars world and lore。 The story（s） within are fun enough to keep me flipping the pages and wanting to dive deeper。

for a star wars comic book that was pretty good

This whole Valance character is a hit and miss show and the online reisonderdelen this comic works is because of the more fameus faces that keep popping up combined with some okay jokes。

This was better than I anticipated。 It’s a nice story arc， however the last issue/chapter feels a bit out of the blue—it seems to introduce Bossk （in a very violent hunting/survival game） and then leaves us hanging with a teaser for Boba Fett 。。。 and then an upcoming cross-over。 I love some continuity， but I’m confused at this point。

It's a bounty hunter story， but the backstabbing and 'intrigue' is so predictable as to be a bit boring。 It's a bounty hunter story， but the backstabbing and 'intrigue' is so predictable as to be a bit boring。 。。。more

Bounty Hunters continues to thrill as we build toward the arc of Bounty Hunter Wars over Solo。 I loved the action in this one。 So many cool bounty hunters are pulled in to this series and I was excited to see how savage Bossk can be in a fight。 I am so ready for some more bounty hunting action！
