Star Wars Splash Page - Comics In Review

Today's episode centers on Marvel's Star Wars: Bounty Hunters #5, an action-oriented romp sure to appeal to fans of Boba Fett as the first arc of the series comes to a conclusion, albeit, in our minds, one issue too soon.While not as controversial as the preceding issue, this one's likely to cause some consternation.Yet the story does come full circle as the antagonist turned protagonist Nakano Lash lays bare why she turned the initial outing by herself, Valance, Boba Fett, Bossk and T'ongor into such an explosive mess, even as she girds for a future where she's not around.In news, we're discussing plans for Marvel and IDW's "The High Republic" comics, the pandemic-enveloped sales figures for May, June and July as well as December's Star Wars comics solicits.Upcoming Star Wars comics include:Sept. 30
