The Mandalorian sees the first episode of season one in a smartly adapted beat-for-beat retelling scripted by Rodney Barnes and lavishly illustrated by George Jeanty, Karl Story, Rachelle Rosenberg and VC's Joe Caramagna that's sure to appeal to Mando fans.Bounty Hunters #25, by Ethan Sacks, Paolo Villanelli, Arif Prianto and VC's Travis Lanham, is rip-roaring page turner as T'onga and the hunters contend with the Knights of Ren in a battle of not just words but weapons.
