Why are the Frenz covers so boring? I guess it gives a lot of sketch opportunities…

Or they will delete them from your pre-order with out any word or reason why.
They have done this to me on 5 issues already and on good books too.
Pre-FOC or after? After I can see happening at times but pre-FOC they shouldn’t.
The only book I got canceled recently was “The Rise #1” which was okay by me since I ordered copies from Heavy Metal directly as well.
What’s he running from? A giant red wave?
Dengar has always been running from something. Jabba, the Empire, his past. The one thing he can never outrun is the guilt of failing his one true, love, Manaroo.
My guess is Menstruatis the Hutt.

These books have all been pre-FOC which sucks big time.
Or a solid red background.

I posted this over in the High Republic thread, but I’m highlighting different stuff here:
War of the Bounty Hunters is chock full of interesting story beats and key events, if not many first appearances. That is, until one of the final pages, when Qi’ra lines up a rogues gallery of Crimson Dawn affiliates to set up the next arc, Crimson Reign! We have some familiar faces, but also some unnamed first cameos. You guys know how Charles Soule likes to plant elements of future stories, so grab some copies of this issue and stash away until these characters start making waves!
From left to right, we heave:
Vicrul: A knight of Ren. Made his first cameo in Star Wars The Rise of Kylo Ren #1. Vicrul makes his first cover appearance on The Rise of Kylo Ren #2 Cover A.
Cardo: A knight of Ren who also made his first cameo in Star Wars The Rise of Kylo Ren #1. Cardo makes his first cover appearance on The Rise of Kylo Ren #2 Second print.
Ren: Male force-sensitive humanoid leader of Knights of Ren. He mad his first full appearance in Star Wars The Rise of Kylo Ren #1.Ren makes his first cover appearance on The Rise of Kylo Ren #2 Cover A.
An Unknown Character who resembles T’Onga: T’onga is a female human bounty hunter who made her first appearance in Bounty Hunters #1.
Imara Vex: This character is an exciting inclusion!
Imara hasn’t made a comic appearance yet, but is a playable character in the upcoming Star Wars: Hunters video game! What this might mean is that we could start seeing some more of the characters from Hunters in comics: Grozz, the Wookiee, Aran Tal, a Mandalorian, Sentinel, a stormtrooper, Zaina, a Rebel Alliance fighter, Utooni, Jawa scrappers, J-3DI, a droid programmed to believe he is a Jedi, Rieve, a dark side warrior, and Slingshot, an Ughnaught in a Droideka shell.
Here’s the Hunters teaser:
Deathstick: Deathstick is a female Nightsister assassin who made her first comic cameo in Bounty Hunters #13, and her first full appearance and cover appearance in Bounty Hunters #14 Cover A.
Besides new characters, like I said, we have some key story beats.
Boba blew Beilert Valance to smithereens:
We’ll see if that sticks.
Finally, the third arc of Soule’s trilogy has been revealed! Hidden Empire concludes the story arc begun by War of the Bounty Hunters and continued in Crimson Reign!
Doctor Aphra #15 is the first appearance of the Thought Dowser, a mind control artifact used by an ancient religious order called The Ascendant. Doctor Aphra #15 is also the first mention and cameo appearance of The Ascendant.
With the High Republic era being explored and rumors that stories from even further back will be explored in later film and Disney+ streaming projects, this is worth keeping an eye on.
We at least have a good guess that Aphra continues her use of the object into the next couple of issues based on the cover to Doctor Aphra #17:
At any rate, the device fries Aphra’ techno tattoos, an integral part of her character:
