![]() Considering we know she’ll survive hunting them, though maybe won’t get her prize, she’s likely a very formidable opponent I look forward to seeing more of in this series.Įlsewhere, we pick up with T’onga and her wife, Lasha, visiting the Mourner’s Wail syndicate to try delivering the news about Cadeliah and end a needless war that’s already taken so much, including T’onga’s brother. I had to Wookeepedia her when the solicitations first revealed she’d be part of the series: the daughter of a Nightsister, Deathstick is a hired assassin who, post- Return of the Jedi, gets caught up with the fight against Imperial Remnants, as seen in the mobile game Uprising (which didn’t get to finish its story since it was shut down early). The informant tells them how Crimson Dawn has been operating for some time now, and that he’s been dealing with a “her” in the organization, though I’m curious if he meant the big surprise at the end of WotBH #1 or the one who shows up at the end of the issue to murder him: Deathstick. ![]() When the two hunters catch up to the informant, he reveals what everyone is slowly beginning to realize across the galaxy, first made known in last week’s War of the Bounty Hunters #1: Crimson Dawn is back! Valance and Dengar don’t believe him at first, as the organization hasn’t be relevant since whenever Maul lost his throne, an event we haven’t learned yet, which has been almost a decade. Valance’s desire to repay Han is commendable, but all his needless punching continues to leave me feeling meh on the character. ![]() The best line of the issue has to be Chewie’s…well, technically Threepio, as he delivers Chewie’s rather graphic departing words to Valance and reiterates they are Chewie’s, not his. So of course this leads to more fighting, but Valance is able to talk Chewie down, making him understanding his honorable intentions on rescuing Han Solo too. Chewie isn’t happy to see either hunter, as he believes Valance was trying to kill him and Han some years ago (as revealed in last week’s flashback), while he hasn’t forgotten his scuffle and electrocution by Dengar when they last met on Nar Shaddaa (as seen in Star Wars #11, back in 2015). This of course leads them to no information, and while trying to catch up with the escaped informant, they run into Chewbacca and Threepio, already on Nar Shaddaa chasing down a lead from the Wookiee Sagwa (so this issue technically takes place as the same time as last month’s Star Wars #13). While Dengar cautions tact with this contact, Valance can’t help but punch him, claiming anything else would be a waste of his time and a scuffle ensues, because I guess this wouldn’t be the Bounty Hunters series if there wasn’t random acts of aggression. ![]() Bounty Hunters #13 barges ahead with its own story, all wrapped up in the overarching War of the Bounty Hunters plot, revealing a deadly new nemesis for Valance and Dengar, hints of the wider plans of the resurgent Crimson Dawn, and how T’onga might wrap everything up this series’ has been building too.Īrriving on Nar Shaddaa far too late to catch up with Boba Fett-like everyone but 4-LOM and Zuckuss though that didn’t go well for them-Valance and Dengar trudge after another of Dengar’s contacts to figure out where he might be and why Jabba the Hutt put a giant bounty out on him. ![]()
