Sirk TV Comic Review: STAR WARS - WAR OF THE BOUNTY HUNTERS (“Prelude - Precious Cargo”) [Marvel]

As the upcoming review of "The Bad Batch" pilot will show, there are different sides to every story. With the new Prelude issue of "War Of The Bounty Hunters" [Marvel/27pgs], the approach is showing a passage of time between "Empire Strikes Back" and "Return Of The Jedi" in terms of the space of Boba Fett. What is interesting is , in terms of the upcoming "Boba Fett" series coming before the 3rd season of "The Mandalorian" evry morsel of knowledge is integrated into canon. This story entitled "Precious Cargo" refers to a specific piece of hardware that Fett is in possession of but the pth he takes leaves something to be see (and to say more would risk spoilers). Ultimately there is a bit of prequel reflection which is unusual, especially if you are dealing with the underworld. Lucas, in the prequels could either go light or dark but was sedom middle of the road in terms of actual consequences. Here the internal struggles are a bt more fleshed out but llike certain aspects of Mandalore (which Boba may or may not embrace) there is an aspect of survival versus whatever honor might mean. The path forward with him can be reflective or simply inevitable. B
