I am reviewing Star Wars: Bounty Hunters ISBN 1569714673 which was published in Sept 2000, printed in Canada.
It collects the comics called -
Star wars: Bounty Hunters - Aurra Sing and is story 1. Good story, pencils and ink -grade = 3.5
Star wars: Bounty Hunters - Scoundrels Wages and is story 2. This wasn't bad except that Lando looked like a black Geraldo rivera or the late sammy davis, Jr. Maybe Mel rubi was to busy to bothering finding out what lando looks like, but surely DH pays editors to assume some responsibility for quality control. Given that the story and inking were above average, you'd think someone would have cared if the pencil work was subpar. 2 stars.
Boba Fett - Twin Engines of destruction and is story 3. What a shame that the pencils and inking here were on par with a newpaper comic strip. I complained about the art in story 2, but the inking And coloring were rich and visually strong. The effort here was on par with that done in THE EARLY ADVENTURES - ranging from mediocre to good. Some pages are brilliantly done. Some are lazily done and other pages were washed out.
Star wars: Bounty Hunters - Kenix Kil and is story 4. The art, penciling and ink are pretty good here, there is a richness and detail that here accommodate for the darkness in which the story is drawn and colored. An interesting story of a character we see elsewhere in the DH EU.
My version has a completely different cover than the one shown by amazon. But the Darkhorse site is showing the same one that I have. Either way, if amazon has this one in new or used, it is a worthwhile read. The art and writing is a mixed bag, as this TPB is drawn from 4 different comics.
This one is hard to place on the time line but dark horse says it is -32+ BHN meaning that the stories take place anytime after the year 32BNH. Ok. That explains why Characters that are 8 years old in -32 can be adults.
The cover art. Dorman is the best. There is a new artist Duursema that is my second favorite.
Collective graded, the work here is to good to grade at a 2, but not nearly as good as other comics that I have graded a 4 so we give a weak 3.

The Star Wars galaxy is populated by rogues,Rebels, and rabble-rousers, and many carry a hefty price on theirhead, whether put there by criminal overlords like Jabba the Hutt orby the iron fist of the Galactic Empire. And where bounties areoffered, bounty hunters will be there to claim them: the stealthy andmerciless Aurra Sing; the fierce and relentless Bossk; the sly andmercenary Dengar, the calculating and precise 4-LOM; the audacious anddeadly Kenix Kil; and the most feared manhunter of them all--BobaFett!Includes the hard-to-find, best-selling Boba Fett: TwinEngines of Destruction."Stunning artwork and concisestorytelling!"-Josepth Szadkowski, The Washington Times
