Star Wars: Comics In Canon - Ep 68: The Auction Of Han Solo, With Jabba The Hutt, Qi’ra & Boba Fett (War Of The Bounty Hunters #2)

Mike embarks on the next 6 issues of War Of The Bounty Hunters for the second full chapter! Qi’ra & Crimson Dawn hold the auction for Han Solo frozen-in-carbonite, gathering the most notorious crime syndicates in the galaxy as well as piquing the interest of the Empire & the Rebellion! Mike provides tonnes of connections to other SW content as well as exploring the many different perspectives & double-crosses in the next chapter in this tantalising tale!
