On the mountainous world of Xokhal, far from the events of the Rebel Alliance's current struggles against the evil Empire, a brutal hunt is being staged for the amusement of the vile Quaffug the Hutt. Quaffug has invited his bounty hunters Dengar, 4-LOM, and Bossk for a foxhunt of sorts, and a key member of the Rebellion has been lured to play the fox!

He's piloted the Millennium Falcon through some of the Rebellion's darkest moments, and he's wanted himself on more than one bounty, but this handsome young scoundrel in no way deserves the deadly fate set before him--especially since he's on a diplomatic mission to help the Rebels establish a strategic communication outpost. If his mischievous talents have served to get him into so much trouble with the likes of Hutts and Imperial bounty hunters, then maybe they'll also help save his life in this strange and savage game! Against a team of unscrupulous bounty hunters, and against all odds, can this Rebel underdog prevail?

"The scoundrels--the Star Wars universe's self-serving freebooters apparently bereft of noble aspiration--are always the most fun to write, because they keep you guessing," said Schultz. "But at least one of those scoundrels does have a latent conscience, and he also happens to pilot a flying bomb named the Millennium Falcon, and . . . and . . . you think you know who he is? Don't be so fast with that answer--this is one story that will keep you guessing from beginning to end."

Star Wars: Bounty Hunters--Scoundrel's Wages is a 32-page, full-color, high-action one-shot, written by award-winning creator Mark Schultz (Xenozoic Tales, Aliens: Apocalypse), and featuring the talents of newcomer Mel Rubi (AvP Annual, Predator: Xenogenesis).
