Star Wars: Agent of the Empire - Hard Targets #4

Part four of five in the "Hard Targets" arc, this 2013 Dark Horse entry in the Agent of the Empire series puts the tension front and center — literally. Stéphane Roux's cover depicts a battle-worn Boba Fett looming large above the chaos, blaster raised, while a fierce woman in orange delivers a flying kick amid a swirl of combatants, with a wide-eyed young figure caught in the crossfire below. Writer John Ostrander and artist Davidé Fabbri (inked here by Fabbri and Christian Dalla Vecchia) bring their sharp Star Wars espionage sensibility to a penultimate chapter that, judging by this cover, promises both a "belligerent bounty hunter" and a very "lethal lady" making life complicated for everyone involved.
