Bullet Review:
Jango Fett. Mandalorian Warrior. Bounty Hunter. Flirt. Father.
This relatively brief comic gives us a glimpse of the Jango Fett that flitted across the screen in "Attack of the Clones". We see his tenderness for his son, Boba Fett, his regret at having to leave for assignments, and his desire to stay with his son, but also the struggle to provide for his son.
We see how he takes assignments, how intimidating he is to those around him, how he is willing to take any job for just the right credits.
We see how he knows Zam Wesell, how he flirts with her, and the tip of the iceberg of their convoluted relationship.
Overall, the comic is pretty interesting. The story is a little bland--Jango must retrieve a MacGuffin for X reasons--and the drawings are a little strange, but there was something about them that was quite interesting. 4.5 stars, rounded down to 4.

"Maybe you should choose your contracts more carefully." - Jango Fett
An exciting adventure with Jango, solid artwork, and vibrant coloring complementing the planetary settings. While the plot might not be groundbreaking, the mix of betrayal, threats, double-crossing, and a guest star you know from Attack of the Clones adds a fun touch to the story. Overall, a satisfying read with great art!

A fun story that is much closer to a 4 than a 2.
I think Jango is portrayed really well here, with heaps of aura as he works his way through two different contracts, the story starting at end of the first, and progressing through the entirety of the second.
His chemistry with Zam was shown really well, but his relationship with his son was even better, I love how it showed how great of a father he seemingly wants to be.
The main downsides where the pacing was massively off in places jumping from one planet to the next while dragging out other much shorter sequences. I also wish they had developed the story surrounding the mysterious buyer of the artifact as it feels like I was left in the dark and therefore couldn't really apprecia it properly.

I don't often read comic books, but my watching of Linkara's Atop the Fourth Wall YouTube reviews has given me an interest that I never had as a kid. That being said Jango Fett is Star Wars, and I will read pretty much anything Star Wars!
I can't really go into much detail about the story - it's about a couple of missions that famed bounty hunter Jango Fett takes on during the period before the Clone Wars, when Boba was still a very small child. It starts off rather like a Star Wars version of Luc Besson's Leon: the Professional, as Jango dispatches a series of bodyguards before confronting his first target proper.
The artwork is nice, but not perfect (but what comic book has flawless artwork?) - there are some lovely details, such as the shot of a dead Hutt, or a reclining Dug, but to my sensibilities it looks a bit rushed.
Nonetheless, I enjoyed getting a glimpse into the life of Jango before his demise in Attack of the Clones, and I am now interested in picking a copy of Zam Wesell, which is the conclusion to this story arc.

Jango might be a cold bounty hunter, but he is also determined to be a father figure for his young clone Boba. He even finds common ground with a rival in distress, proving that he is truly human, not just a heartless killer.
After killing the Black Sun vigo Antonin, Jango Fett returns to Dreddon the Hutt for his payment. He finds the Hutt has already been killed by Zam Wesell who was hired by Antonin. So both of them end up not being paid. Jango gets a new job from Fernooda to steal a rare artifact from the planet Seylott. But the job doesn't go according to plan.

Jango goes on some bounty hunter missions, but has trouble getting paid. A fun, inconsequential book, not as good as the other one. Not much of a storyline and was obviously done as a tie in to the film. The artwork is hit and miss. An ok read.

(FYI I tend to only review one book per series, unless I want to change my scoring by 0.50 or more of a star. -- I tend not to read reviews until after I read a book, so I go in with an open mind.)
I'm finally going through my physical tv, film etc. tie in library owned book list, to add more older basic reviews. If I liked a book enough to keep then they are at the least a 3 star.
3.75*
First time read the author's work?: No
Will you be reading more?: Yes
Would you recommend?: Yes
------------
How I rate Stars: 5* = I loved (must read all I can find by the author)
4* = I really enjoyed (got to read all the series and try other books by the author).
3* = I enjoyed (I will continue to read the series)
or
3* = Good book just not my thing (I realised I don't like the genre or picked up a kids book to review in error.)
All of the above scores means I would recommend them!
-
2* = it was okay (I might give the next book in the series a try, to see if that was better IMHO.)
1* = Disliked
Note: adding these basic 'reviews' after finding out that some people see the stars differently than I do - hoping this clarifies how I feel about the book. :-)

Released during the promotional buildup to Attack of the Clones, the Jango Fett one-shot stands out as a visually gorgeous character study. Artist Tom Fowler brings a wildly distinct, almost impressionistic style to the book, with an absolutely stunning color palette and beautiful compositions. I love to see the Star Wars brand experimenting with such unique visual identities, even if Fowler's stylized aesthetic occasionally makes the action choreography a bit difficult to navigate.
Besides offering a solid bounty-hunting story, Ron Marz manages to successfully flesh out Jango's primary relationships. Seeing the ruthless mercenary act as a loving and attentive father to a young Boba Fett is as sweet as it is unexpected. Equally compelling is the introduction of his "frenemy" dynamic with Zam Wesell. Marz sets up their professional rivalry and mutual begrudging respect, giving readers a much-needed foundation for the partnership we eventually see in Episode II.
Ultimately, the story ramps up to conclude in the Zam Wesell one-shot, making this a very nice, if non-essential, and surprisingly character-driven tale.

Super fun, action packed, Jango Fett badassery at its finest.
I really wanted to give this a 4 star rating, especially with all the father and son content between Jango and Boba that is really the cherry on top of all the thrilling shoot-em-up content this offers... but, this unfortunately ends in an extremely disappointing way. The reader is thrown off a cliff with as far as I can tell, no resolution available in sight.
With no closure content available, had to drop this down -1, as being left hanging like this is a hard dislike.
I'm guessing the author was hoping to get a follow-up contract/deal, and it never panned out. Otherwise, there is no reason to do this to the readers that I could possibly understand. What a shame.

The art was low quality and the writing was flat. Jango is a killing machine, one of the deadliest men in the galaxy, and also a great dad who wishes he didn't have to spend so much time away from little Boba. It's a bit trite.
I've been reading several star wars titles recently. I mostly enjoy them, but am starting to think that there are only a handful of competent people in the Star Wars universe and everyone else is cannon fodder. That works for a two hour movie, but breaks down in a longer story.

boba fett stay embarrassed. you will never be on your father's level. also in my world i KNOW boba never hit the standard clone 6ft like that is a 5'9 man. how does it feel to be shorter than your sister. loser.
nice to see traditional art in a comic, very pretty textures and colours

A bit of a short story that takes place in the middle of the overall Jango Fett timeline. Not too much to gain here except a quick snapshot of the ruthlessness of Jango and how it conflicts with his role as Boba's father. Pretty much the career minded father who has little time for his son in the Star Wars universe.

Not much in the way of storyline or character development but Jango Fett has always been basic. This just him being the best bounty hunter in the universe, some try to oppose him and he bests them easily and some try to screw him over. Moral of the story don't mess with Jango Fett!
It was a really good read for a Jango fan, it's exactly what you expect a story about him to be about, simple but good.

Please note that this comic series is now part of Legends, and is no longer canon within the Star Wars expanded universe.
This is a fun one but I have no idea why it was not combined into one volume with Star Wars: Zam Wesell.

Nothing particularly bad about this one, I just didn't particularly feel anything while reading it. The most interesting element was Jango and Boba's relationship, but it was only touched on a little.
January 9, 2017
A fun short story, not much to it, but a simple adventure story. Good fun, but nothing deeper than that.

I had a copy of this when I was a kid and loved it. Found it in a charity shop with the Zam Wesell companion piece and they're very enjoyable.

This was a pretty snappy Jano Fett GN with a lot of action and fantastic, comprehensible art, just like any Jango Fett comic/ graphic novel should be.

This was great. It was a very short comic but it was great to see Jango in action and have a glimpse of his relationship with Boba.

Jango Fett
He is the coolest. He juggles being a lethal assasin/ nurturing, caring single Dad. He shoots a guy in the forehead, then goes home and bakes meatloaf for dinner.

Good read of Jango
Nice little backstory on Jango Fett. Good story line, nice art work, I just can't get enough of these graphic novels.

Jango tries to be a good dad for Boba while going out on bounties. I did like the Zam Wessell connection. It was a nice touch.
