Clearly we all underestimated the upcoming War of the Bounty Hunters crossover, as the June 2021 Star Wars comics solicitations reveal it not only has the prelude issues in May, but it’ll have both the miniseries and tie-in issues going forward, through October! And here I was originally assuming this would lead into a Shadows of the Empire-type event, but it seems this is that big event itself! So read on below to learn about Chewbacca battling Valance (expect limbs to be lost!), Vader and Ochi going up against IG-88 (is there enough ‘man’ left in Vader to defeat this machine?), and Doctor Aphra and Sana Starros come face to face with….DURGE?! Yes, that Durge! Also coming in June, Pride Variant covers, which is a nice touch though I wish they could’ve offered more, like a full issue of Pride-related Star Wars tales…but I’ll take this for now!

Doctor Aphra returned earlier this year with a brand new creative team to start the latest volume, but the pandemic caused quite the gulf between the initial launch of the issue (with an early May the 4th digital release!) and the rest of the opening arc, “Fortune and Fate.” Once comic releases returned, the following issues made the wait way more than worth it, as writer Alyssa Wong, with artist Marika Cresta and colorist Rachelle Rosenberg (a series staple), proved more than fit to bring the latest chaotic adventures of everyone’s favorite rogue archaeologist to life!
