Double crosses and debts

Valance is on the run, from everyone. Even his old employers are betraying him. Probobly not the right time to cash in a favour. We Valance is more heart then flesh. A couple cameos and mentions of Star Wars legends.

[Ian Sharman · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well, this is a definite improvement over last month's offering, although I still find Valance boring and I'm still irritated by Sacks' insistence of writing 4-LOM as For-Elloem.

We do get a fun bar fight with a young Tasu Leech, who we last saw in The Force Awakens as a much older man and leader of Kanji Club. This is him as a much younger man and I can also assume that time wasn't kind to him in the years between this and the events of The Force Awakens, because he not only looks like a completely different person but looks like he's a different race.

Following that, Valance gets ambushed by what remains of the Ohnaka Gang, now no longer under Hondo's leadership, and Dengar, who's always a win. I mean...I like the bounty hunters in Star Wars, a lot...just not Valance.

But, yeah, this wasn't awful.

Thought this was another clunky issue.

It's ok. Some fun scum and villainy references. I'm just not feeling this series. Not sure if I will continue after this arc.
