Reviews

[Malum]

Marvel trying to squeeze out any drops of character that they can from Bona Fett and it ends up all being kind of blah.

As a side note, how coincidental is it that everyone that Boba gets a contract for is not just on the same planet, but sometimes in the same room as him when he takes the contract? No wonder he is the best when his targets literally jump into his lap like chickens to slaughter.

[Derek Neveu]

The Mandalorian soundtrack was playing in my head this entire read.

Cheguei na banca e pensei: Wow! que legal, uma revista de lombada quadrada por só 14,90! Vou levar! Chegando em casa vi que que a revista era só de 48 páginas! Fuéum! Fuéum! Fuéum! Assim, preciso dizer que o que mais chama a atenção nestas duas edições - uma dedicada a Boba Fett e outra a seu pai, Jango Fett - é a arte de Mark Laming e do brasileiro Luke Ross. A primeira história, a de Boba, é a mais boba, indeed. Com o personagem se fazendo se solitário caladão e que só fala no final da trama. Já a segunda, escrita por Jody Houser, faz mais sentido e traz um arco de crescimento de personagem, que é o próprio Boba quando criança tendo a sua primeira missão como um caçador de recompensas fora da lei, sendo ensinado pelo pai. Assim, digamos que essa publicação tem um aproveitamento de 50% por causa das ótimas artes e do roteiro ok da segunda parte.

[Lucas Savio]

A história do boba fett se destaca muito mais na arte quanto ao roteiro apenas ele daria 3 estrelas mas já jango fett é bem mais interessante apresentando boba criança, dando vontade de ler mais dessa época...

[Oneirosophos]

Generic with beautiful art.

[Spencer]

A fun story about everyone’s favourite bounty hunter.

[Garrett]

Yet another mediocre Boba Fett story. I think I’d like to see someone do a more personal Boba Fett story where Boba is after someone for personal reasons because at least maybe then we would get some more personality.

boba make it go boom

[John]

Not bad story, I wish they would have focused more on the hunt and capture than talking about how well known Boba Fett was.
Nothing Earth shattering but need to see his own comic.

When it comes to Star Wars, there is a fraction of its rich themes that always attracted me, in all the right ways, and that’s its western approach, particularly the Bounty Hunter lore inside this universe. Boba Fett’s gotta be one of the franchise’s most iconic figures, weirdly enough, since his participation in the original films has been minimal, not heavy enough to deserve such recognition. Thanks to stories such as this (and a considerable number of “Legends” tales) the fans started to realize how much of a bad ass he was, and sure, things like “The Mandalorian” also helped build around the hype. Maybe it’s for the armor, which again, is one of the most iconic images in the whole saga, so much, Lucas created this entire backstory of this highly evolve race of warriors that go way back, during the war between Jedi and Sith Lords. As for the comic book, is a One-Shot, not big deal, and I’ve already encountered with several from this new Marvel/Disney wave, part of the new canon of Lucasfilm, but this one was simply “fine”, not bad or horrible, but not great or outstanding by all means. I’m self-aware of this other Bounty Hunters title, and the highly anticipated “War of the Bounty Hunters”, as well as the upcoming Disney+ series, “The Book of Boba Fett”, so I won’t be that hard on this just because is a single issue dedicated to such relevant figure. Greg Pak’s script is nothing but a typical bounty chase between Fett and another ex-member of the syndicate, called Zingo, and the rest one could guess; Boba tracks him and fights him. As expected, everyone is self-aware of Boba’s reputation, so there is this constant sense of dread whenever he’s around; he is an imposing figure, and that was well-captured by Marc Laming’s pencils, who’s work on recreating the classic armor of the bounty hunter was extremely accurate in the detail level. As for the character of Boba himself, he’s your typical silent guy, and I like how he is depicted not necessarily as a “bad guy”, but just as a guy with a code that he strictly follows, that is, the Syndicate’s, and that was the best part of the story; the ending in which that is made clear. In the end, this is a good companion in order to check a title related to the character, and while surely a solo series would be a better storytelling tool, as a One-Shot it is good enough, not necessarily thanks to Pak’s story, but the team behind it’s art department.

"El hombre, la armadura, el misterio..."

En el primer One-shot de la saga de Star Wars, tenemos la oportunidad de ver al cazador de recompensas #1 de toda la Galaxia... Boba Fett. Dejándonos claro quien es el aquel personaje con armadura de mandaloriano al que los criminales huyen.

Como un vistazo a la segunda parte, tenemos también el honor de ver un poco de lo temible que es su padre, Jango Fett.

"Solo soy un hombre común que intenta abrirse paso en el universo."

"It was okay." - 2 out of 5 star rating.

This is overall a pretty average comic at best. If I was a diehard Boba fan, I may have rated this one a bit higher... but it really just doesn't hit that hard to me. 100% as expected Tatooine bar scene, bounty hunter job, run and gun action. Absolutely zero deviation in any direction. It's like you're on a one-way bullet train, knowing exactly what is going to happen each and every turn, all the way until you hit the final destination.

[Tom Vogel]

Not a whole lot of substance added to the character but a fun short story portraying Boba Fett’s ruthlessness and tenacity for following the bounties. I also really enjoyed the artwork. Drawn very distinctly in an Interesting way.

[Mariah]

This was one of the issues I read for Halloween Comicfest 2019. I never really was a Boba Fett fan, but I see the appeal of the character.

This simple story tells how Boba Fett tracks down his targets and how skilled he is.

Story is a little unforgettable, but it still passed ths time.

[Steven Shinder]

This issue really went for the silent Boba Fett interpretation, which was a bit boring at times. It was good, but not as great as the Jango Fett issue from Age of Republic.

[Collin Reynolds]

Simple story but great art.

[Sam W.]

A great story about Boba Fett, showing that he isn't a good guy if he hunts rebels, he's just doing it for the money.

[Eric]

awesome story

everything about this comic was awesome very cool , now i have to read the rest of the books in the series

[Jay Gabler]

Watered-down “Mandalorian.”

[Omni Theus]

Not bad. nice little twist at the end. 3.75 out of 5 stars

[Kaleb Krumtum]

Absolute borefest. All this comic does is drool over how cool Boba Fett is. No interesting characterization, no interesting action, and a complete waste of time.

[valu]

dijo tres palabras en todo el comic amo cuando los hombres estan just to look pretty te amo boba

[C.Lakin]

“No. I hunt bounties” cold

[Jesse]

A pretty great Boba Fett story, gets what I like about him.

[Mario]

A fantastic little tale that could easily be repurposed in the Wild West with few issues. Boba Fett manages to stay cool, be feared, and track his pray, but when he hunts a reviled bounty hunter turned criminal and saves a whole town, is it because he's a hero?

Greg Pak finds the perfect balance here between the man, the legend and a good story, plus everyone else doing the talking, adds to his mystery aura.

Recommended!

[Christopher Lutz]

Better on a reread after Boba’s appearance on The Mandalorian. Enjoyed the use of the Bounty Hunters Guild with it’s first canon appearance here. Overall a run of the mill story, but Fett’s characterization is spot on.
