Marvel have released solicits for the July Star Wars releases involved in the massive War of the Bounty Hunters crossover.
Check out the A covers and solicits below. A couple tidbits I noticed from perusing the solicits:
- There’s a mysterious assassin after Valance named Deathstick. I’m not a huge fan of the name, but masked characters always get the speculation cogs turning in my head. New character? Old friend? Time will tell.
- Looks like the Umbaran storyline is coming to a head and the Umbaran is on a collision course with Vader. The Umbaran, an unnamed member of Palpatine’s inner circle, first appeared in Darth Vader (2020, Pak) #8.
Stay tuned for pre order links from TFAW, and we’ll be adding these issues to our master War of the Bounty Hunters Checklist.
