DIE BESTEN KILLER DER GALAXIS Während der Bürgerkrieg die Galaxis immer weiter ins Chaos stürzt, blüht die Unterwelt auf. Schmuggler, Söldner und Diebe arbeiten für Verbrechersyndikate und Kartelle, die ihre Chance nutzen, um Einfl uss und Gewinn zu vermehren und ihre Territorien zu erweitern. Rücksichtslose Kopfgeldjäger – von denen einige zu den gefährlichsten Wesen der Galaxis gehören – durchsuchen die Systeme, um Zielobjekte aufzuspüren, dingfest zu machen oder zu ermorden, um dann die Prämie zu kassieren. Drei dieser Jäger – Valance, Bossk und Boba Fett – gelten als die besten ihrer Zunft. Außerdem verbindet die drei ein zurückliegender gemeinsamer Auftrag, der sie jetzt zu Todfeinden werden lässt. Dieser Band enthält die US-Ausgaben Bounty Hunters #1-5 und Empire Ascendant #1.
