Fett never takes off his mask, the Mandalorian front keeping his mystique presented to the galaxy and the reader of the comic. The man with no name (okay well the Bounty Hunter with an infamous name everyone in the Galaxy knows) comes into a desert town looking for his bounty. In terms of story Pak delivers the perfect structure for a Boba Fett tale. The palette is one of gleaming metal in an otherwise dusty biblical terrain. There were several times when I just wanted to cut the art out of the page and post it on my wall (I still might). Laming really captures the iconic poise of the character (his head tilt to Boussh/Leia in Return of the Jedi sums up the character for me), the action stances are just jaw-droppingly cool.

Boba Fett just looks awesome in every panel. Brilliantly posed and presented, it captures that “less is more” essence of cool around which Boba Fett’s mystique is based.įirstly the art from Marc Laming and Colors from Neeraj Menon. This week’s comic book from Pak, Laming and company could change my mind on that though.

It is a view that I’ve continued to hold to this day, secretly hoping that that standalone film gets left in the concept stage. I’ve not always shared the fixation with Boba Fett that other fans had he was rarely on screen and was the asshat that shipped Han off to Jabba.

I was in the demographic that should have been “Team Boba Fett”, but actually found myself secretly agreeing with the then Assistant Editor. As a fan who grew up on the Original Trilogy I could see both sides of the inevitable debate that ensued. A few years back there was a little bit of controversy around Boba Fett in Star Wars comics when one of the then Assistant Editors at Marvel referred to the character as boring.
