Target Valance is a big improvement on the previous volume, Galaxy's Deadliest. This series is still a 90s throwback of fighting and space fights. However, Valance gets a personality. Or at least, a little bit of a personality and a lot more backstory, that makes him a fascinating bounty hunter. This series is sheer Star Wars fun - don't expect deep lore. Expect space battles and fights. Be surprised by some tender storytelling.

I actually think next to Greg Pak's run on Darth Vader, this might become one of the best series Marvel is producing. I'd totally watch a show with Valance (or movie) BTW. His storyline is like a mixture of The Terminator meets The Mandalorian meets Claudia Gray's Lost Stars and I'm friggin' HERE FOR IT.

So, yay, better backstory for Valance, makes this a way more interesting run. And the next volume promises a run-in with fan-favorite: Boba Fett. So, I think this series is only gonna get better.

I read this in honor of May the 4th and man was I disappointed.

Surface level impressions based on the cover: "fun phew-phew laser guns and badass bounty hunters fighting each other! But I wonder if the story is any good?"

I really wanted to like this. But this is one of the worst star wars stories I have read. Boba Fett, Valance, Bossk and T’onga (the employer of Valance) are after a woman named Nakano Lash. The reason all the bounty hunters track Nakano Lash is retribution for the murder of the syndicate heir. However, T’onga learns it wasn’t Lash who killed her brother…it was Boba Fett. Then, Boba Fett shows up and kills her. T’onga, shot in the back and brutally depicted. Killing the single queer person of color, who also happens to be the most interesting character in the series, for the sake of a cliffhanger and Boba Fett’s dramatic entrance says a lot about our author Ethan Sacks. It also says a lot about many Star Wars fans.

Look, I love Star Wars and I dig Boba Fett and Bossk. I like it when Star Wars goes dark. I love Revenge of the Sith and I love the Evil Vader scene in Rogue One. But at the end of the day, Star Wars is about hope - even if its overall story being told is bleak, there is still a sliver of hope.

But sadly, this was a chaotic, disjointed, and offensive mess. And I really didn't understand Fett's motivation. Maybe that will be cleared up in Vol. 2? But I don't think I'll be reading that one.

This was an entertaining graphic novel, which I read to celebrate May The Fourth Be With You. It has cameos from past Star Wars characters but was obviously written to promote the new Disney attractions. I especially liked Chewbacca's dialogue, "WRROOAARRR, GRAWWRRRGGH, RRAAARRG." Chewie, I get where you're coming from. Today was one of those "GRARARGH" type of days.

Meh. This is absolutely middle of the road for me; does nothing other than provide a comic on the shelves that is in-name-only tied to the recent video game release and resets Agatha Harkness as a young woman so she aligns with her WandaVision version.
