Star Wars War Of The Bounty Hunters Jabba the Hutt #1 has been added to your cart.
If this had been 'Deva Lompop' instead of 'Jabba the Hutt', you'd be able to forgive how little Jabba is in it. Instead, its a cynical, strategic attempt to will a speculator character into existence. Based on the aftermarket pricing for the tiered variant, its worked.
Will we see Deva Lompop all over Marvel's SW universe now? We will. Will she end up with her own book ala Dr. Aphra? I'm guessing yes, once we're post Return of the Jedi. Do you need to know that the release date for this book is crazy late for where it fits into the War of the Bounty Hunters story? Yeah, you do, and its just one more thing that's wrong with it. Better art in the present day sequences, but Jabba remains a difficult character for comic artists not named AL Williamson to lock down.
What made Aphra work as a character was the way she was parceled in slowly, along with other characters who became fan favorites OVER TIME because they'd been built up. Deva Lompop is no Dr. Aphra.
