Publisher summary:
"THE IMPOSSIBLE JOB" BOBA FETT finds himself trapped in a situation he seemingly can't get out of! The EMPIRE and an extreme REBEL faction are after the same bounty!Fett needs to track down a deadly individual who has played both sides, and – to make things even more impossible – his target is hiding out in a volatile volcanic system!

Why it matters: Boba Fett is hands down the coolest character Star Wars has ever seen. For the first time since 2012’s Blood Ties, the ruthless bounty hunter stars in his very own comic miniseries!
Key moments:
One color is all you need: Marvel’s Black, White, and Red miniseries have always been first and foremost an artist’s showcase. Chris Allen’s dynamic action tells a fantastic story even without the dialogue and narration, and Rachelle Rosenberg brings it all together with copious red accenting.
Just a simple man: Boba Fett’s allegiances are simple: self before all others. While this story, like his original appearance in The Empire Strikes Back, involves a mission for the Empire, Boba makes it clear that he has no problem biting the hand that feeds him if it benefits him.
Rule of cool: Star Wars is full of stories that explore deep themes and make you think… this is not one of those. Sometimes you just want to see a cool looking guy blow stuff up. Look no further.

The big picture:
Boba Fett is cool. We can all agree on that, right?
Okay, cool. Now that we’re on the same page, I’m going to suggest that you immediately jump head first into the latest Black, White, and Red miniseries.
Bounties, explosions, double crossing, blasters, impossible escapes… this issue has everything you could ever want from a Boba Fett story. And if that’s not enough somehow, the art from Chris Allen and Rachelle Rosenberg will blow you away, all with just one color.
Our rating: Incredible
