Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Even though he spoke just six lines of dialogue throughout the entire first Star Wars trilogy, ruthless bounty hunter Boba Fett remains one of the most popular characters in the SW universe. Though Enemy of The Empire is a standard tale of deceit and intrigue, interest will surely be peaked with the promise of a stand-off between Fett and Darth Vader, two of Star Wars's hardest characters. Set before A New Hope, Boba Fett, even then much feared and respected, is hired by Vader to retrieve a box from a rogue Empire soldier who has been sentenced to death. Suspicious of Vader's interest in this artefact, Fett soon believes his bounty will be paid in the form of lingering death, as the contents can determine the future of the galaxy. John Wagner, of Judge Dredd fame, does a superb job of capturing the deviousness of Fett and Vader, two men with hidden agendas of varying intensity. Whereas Fett only wishes to ensure that he gets his bounty, Vader sees the artefact as the key to his ruthless ambition to depose the Emperor and rule the galaxy. The battle between the two is brilliantly staged, with Fett having to use his utmost guile to survive Vader's awesome power in the Dark Side, and resolved in a surprising but fitting fashion. Whether you are a fan of Fett or delight in the darker elements of Star Wars, this is a strong and thrilling tale with Wagner doing both characters justice. A return engagement is required. --Danny Graydon


Product Description

An all-new comic strip adventure, based on the characters and worlds created by George Lucas. The galaxy's slickest, meanest and downright deadliest bounty-hunter, Boba Fett, originally introduced in the movie Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, takes centre stage in this powerful new story. A contract for Boba Fett to recover a mysterious and powerful artefact leads to an awesome confrontation with the Sith Lord supreme, Darth Vader in this thoroughly wholesome tale of treachery, greed and backstabbing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Vader and Fett go toe to toe. Need to know more?, 5 Oct 2004
By Ian Tapley "thefragrantwookiee" - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
THE STORY:
Darth Vader hires the bounty hunter Boba Fett to track down a rogue Imperial officer, but the officer has something Vader wants and he's willing to kill Fett to aquire it. Also included; the rare Boba Fett story 'Salvage' in which Fett boards a mysteriously lifeless drifting ship.

WHAT'S GOOD:
The characterisations of Fett and Vader are excellent, capturing Boba's pragmatic nature and Vader's powerful will. So close to the film representations of the characters are these, that you can almost hear James Earl Jones saying some of the lines and Fett's growly voice responding. The pitched battle between them highlights their strengths too, with Vader unstoppably powerful and Fett having to call on his resourcefulness to gain equal footing. We also get a possible contender for the origins of Vader's 'No disintegrations!' comment in 'The Empire Strikes Back'. The manic depressive monks make for a good bit of comic relief.

WHAT'S BAD:
The story up until the Fett/Vader face-off is pretty thin on the ground and I found the idea of the Icarii a little hard to swallow.

'His reward, he knows, will be death.'

3.0 out of 5 stars Boba Fett vs. Darth Vader...but not much else, 26 Jul 2003
The opening page of this comic promises much: a showdown between Darth Vader and Boba Fett. Every fanboys dream come true. And it does not dissapoint in this respect - the last quarter of the book is an intense, no holds barred duel between Vader and Fett. However in order to acheive this situation, a complex and cheesy plot is put into motion, involving the Star Wars equivalent of the three stooges and a talking head.

A must for Fett and Vader fans, but consider picking up Death Lies and Treachery instead.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, 9 May 2003
The galaxy's most feared bounty hunter and the most evil man known come together in a story set before the events in A New Hope. Its great to see Boba Fett and Darth Vader in the same story but I felt that the mission itself was a bit lame but nevertheless the climatic ending had all the necessary Star Wars aspects. Its the first time I've seen Ian Gibson do Star Wars stuff and it was great to see his artwork again, I haven't seen it since 2000 AD. All in all, another quality Dark Horse production.

Wow this has got to be one of the best, but the story line(plot) was a bit edgy, there wasn't a lot of action involved, and I have to admit it, but I just lost interest in it... Read more
