The adaptation of Timothy Zahn's 2018 novel, Thrawn: Aliances, begins its four-issue run with an amazingly robust first issue penned by Jody Houser and Zahn, with art by Pat Olliffe and Andrea Di Vito, colors by Rachelle Rosenberg and Letters by Travis Lanham. There's some whipsawing between the present and past and the action and cold logic flows freely.

In The High Republic Adventures Phase III #2 -- written by Daniel José Older, illustrated by Harvey Tolibao and Nick Brokenshire, colored by Michael Atiyeh and lettered by Comicraft's Tyler Smith and Jimmy Betancourt -- brings us the story of Lula Talisola and how she became the warlord Tartak Vil. It's a riveting story that tugs at the heartstrings.

• Thrawn: Alliances #1 (of 4) (26:25)

Bounty Hunters ended on Jan. 17 with issue #42. It Marked more than four years of stories in the seedy underbelly of the Star Wars galaxy and all of them were written by Ethan Sacks, from the first preview in Empire Ascendent back in December 2019 to the final issue of the series.

We broke down how the series came about, its high (and low) points and how Sacks and Paolo Villanelli (artist on 31 issues) worked in lockstep to elevate Beilert Valance and the bounty-hunting crew to an elevated status in Star Wars as a whole, not to mention the fan base -- Valance Nation -- that was with them every step of the way.

We also learned some interesting tidbits about the series and roads not taken, including a scuppered series that would have seen Valance leading an Imperial TIE squadron (thanks, pandemic.)
