Rodney Barnes and artist Guiu Vilanova (Marvel’s S.W.O.R.D.) make for an excellent pairing, with the introspective writing and moody illustrations matching each other’s tones perfectly. The narration of the comic is divided between RB-919, IG-88, and Boba Fett, with the latter not showing up in true form until the last ten pages– but the titular bounty hunter is an intriguing and compelling enough of a presence to keep things moving at a lively pace until then.
There was a short-story anthology book that came out in the mid-90s entitled Star Wars: Tales of the Bounty Hunters, and the IG-88 story in there was always my favorite, so it was great getting to dive back inside the droid’s head once again.
