Star Wars: Bounty Hunters #40

Tied into Marvel's 2024 Dark Droids crossover, Star Wars: Bounty Hunters #40 brings "The Path of the Righteous, Part 4" to a fever pitch. Marco Checchetto's cover sets the tone perfectly — a cybernetically enhanced bounty hunter strides forward through a burning cityscape, blaster raised, his cape billowing dramatically as fallen figures (including what appear to be defeated alien combatants) litter the foreground, with the ominous tagline warning that something comes first for the metal… then for everything else. Writer Ethan Sacks and artist Davide Tinto, with colors by Arif Prianto, make this an essential chapter for anyone following the galaxy's deadliest hired guns through one of Star Wars comics' most gripping recent storylines.
