David McK (3921 KP) rated Star Wars: Bounty Hunters, Vol 1: Galaxy's Deadliest in Books
Aug 29, 2021
Of the latter, the Bounty Hunters first featured in Empire Strikes Back where far and away the coolest.
Which is why it is such a shame that this comic arc completely bungles the landing: hard to follow (I didn't even realise until a fair bit in that Valance was meant to be the main character), with the panels and lettering all over the place, and with a plot that takes its time spinning wheels, and that even has had its thunder stolen by The Mandalorian!
I might pick up the next arc, but only if it's own sale - doubt I'll pay full price for it!

Some of the episodes, I felt, were far superior to others: in some (perhaps more than I was comfortable with), I didn't really follow what was happening.
There is an over-arching plot throughout the entire series, with Superman 'overpowering' himself with solar radiation in the opening of the first episode, and with his body beginning to fail as a result.
I also found the art-style slightly off-putting: I can understand drawing the man of steel in a square/blocky 'strong' art style, but ma and pa Kent? Really?
Perhaps not the best of introductions for anybody new to Superman comics.

The jokes may be familiar with the fans of the strip since the characters really haven’t changed, but that doesn’t make them any less fun. I actually haven’t read the strip much in recent years, and it was great reconnection with these old friends. Even if I saw a punch line coming, I would laugh, and I smiled my entire way through the book. A few of the strips may be dated since they refer to then current events, but that’s a minor issue for me.
