The greatest bounty hunter in Star Wars is back with a brand new comic, this time he’s going to be painting the galaxy red to get what he wants. What he wants is money, of course, as Boba Fett doesn’t have allegiance to anyone but himself, and credits are the best way to make sure he can do exactly what it is he wants, when he wants it. Boba is going back to basics with a brand new series that’s focused on pure style in Star War: Boba Fett – Black, White & Red. As the title suggests, the only colors you’ll see in this series are black, white, and a whole lot of red.

ComicBook has the exclusive preview of issue one of this comic that is guaranteed to be a mix of heart-pounding action and gorgeous red highlights. Written by Benjamin Percy, pencilled by Chris Allen, inked by Craig Yeung, and colored by Rachelle Rosenberg, this comic promises to deliver on its premise with a black and white world full of blaster fire and pools of bright blood.
No Job’s Too Big For Boba
The Star War: Boba Fett – Black, White & Red #1 preview starts in media res, on the planet known as Sterna IV, in an Imperial prison that resembles the one from season one of Andor. The loudspeaker orders all prisoners to stay in their cells and insists that everything’s fine, all while guards rush through hallways littered with blaster burns and corpses. They’re firing at Boba Fett, who is dragging one of the prisoners behind him by the scruff. The prisoner shouts that Boba Fett is crazy, but Boba just drags him outside to a landing platform as blaster bolts rain around him. Boba blasts the door controls, making the doors slam closed on a chasing guard, leaving half of him outside and half of him inside.
The guards and prisoner alike recount how Boba Fett will never get away with this, as the Empire will take him down. The prisoner is shot in the knee, and Boba silently takes out the last two guards as the narrator recounts that this job would be impossible for anyone else, but that Boba Fett would make the impossible happen if was paid well enough, and this time he was. The man continues to tell Boba Fett that the Empire will destroy him for this, that he stands no chance of beating them, but Boba just grabs him and leaps off the edge of this sky-bound prison, flying off with his jetpack. The narrator recounts that Boba Fett doesn’t care about beating the Empire or helping the Rebellion. He’s only here for himself and to get paid.
Star War: Boba Fett – Black, White & Red #1 goes on sale Wednesday, September 17th!
This comic is already making good on its premise to give us all the gloriously bloody Boba Fett action in a spectacularly muted color scheme, and I think this is going to be worth it for the style points alone.
