The giant junk piles are a strong detail, while the stylization used to depict the other bounty hunters is awesome. It undoubtedly begs some interesting philosophical points about existence and purpose for being, but it never even ventures to answer those questions, likely leaving it for a future story.Īrtistically the book is on point. You could skip this comic entirely and miss no story beat. None of this results in a strictly bad comic it’s just not fulfilling compared to last month’s entry. His employers do, but that’s a story for previous crossover issues and future stories. So why spend so much time elaborating on his feelings when a more interesting and beloved character is right there waiting? It’s a shame so much time is spent building up towards the droid’s reassembly because the narcissistic cyborg doing the work just doesn’t interest me. The whole first half of the comic is about RB-919, who frankly, just doesn’t matter. It’s more so a matter of how much time is wasted in setting up IG-88’s time in the sun. In fact, the droid’s existential musings are the strongest part of the comic. No, it’s not lacking heart because IG-88 doesn’t have one. Where it differed from Boushh #1, though, is in how much heart the story contains.
Like the most recent one-shot, Boushh #1, it’s more of a poetic ode to the character, which may play into a future story more than it requires prior or ongoing knowledge. There is no requirement to have read previous issues in the ongoing War of the Bounty Hunters crossover event to pick up IG-88 #1. However, after being cut down by the Dark Lord of the Sith, an obsessive repairman RB-919 finds and fixes the droid bounty hunter at a certain employer’s request. Others, namely Darth Vader, call him a nuisance or an obstacle. Some call IG-88 the greatest bounty hunter in the galaxy. The issue is written by Rodney Barnes with art from Guiu Vilanova, colors by Antonio Fabela, letters by VC’s Ariana Maher, and is published by Marvel Comics. IG-88 #1 is the final one-shot starring one of The Empire Strikes Back’sever-popular bounty hunters.
