These pride months variants are releasing in the midst of the epic Star Wars comics crossover War of the Bounty Hunters. After kicking off in last week's Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters Alpha #1, the story continues to unfold throughout a five-issue War of the Bounty Hunters miniseries from writer Charles Soule and artist Luke Ross. The event ties into every current Star Wars comic that Marvel is published except for The High Republic. That means Star Wars, Bounty Hunters, Darth Vader, and Doctor Aphra. War of the Bounty Hunters reveals what happened after Boba Fett left Cloud City with Han Solo carbon-frozen in Slave-1's cargo hold in The Empire Strikes Back, but before he landed at Jabba's palace on Tatooine.
"Boba Fett clearly doesn't take Han Solo directly to Jabba's palace," Soule said, recalling his original pitch for War of the Bounty Hunters. "Something had to happen in between that intervening time between Empire and Jedi. And I was like, 'I would like to tell that story, and I would like it to be about Boba Fett and what happens to him.
"The main story that we're dealing with is a Boba Fett-focused crime epic, that involves Boba Fett going up against some of the heaviest hitters in the galaxy. It's Jabba the Hutt. It's Black Sun. It's Darth Vader. And a bunch of others — factions and so on — that I think will be really interesting for the fans. It's basically Boba Fett, by himself, against all of these people."
Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters Alpha #1 is on sale now.
