Review! Star Wars: Blood Ties (four issue limited series from Dark Horse)

COVERS: Chris Scalf. Dont you love it when the interior art matches the cover art? These are some killer covers! STORY: Tom Taylor. The story revolves around Boba Fett discovering that a Jango clone had fathered a son. Using flashbacks we see that Jango killed his clone but allowed the son to live and had been secretly sending him money until the day he died. Now with a bounty on the son's head Boba is going to collect...well kinda. The twist at the end leaves us with Boba having a half brother. ART: Chris Scalf. Chris has a sweet painted style that fits this series well. He uses a lot of photo reference, which you kinda have to when doing Star Wars art, but it works. My only complaint is that his art sometimes feels a bit too "creamy", as if all the textures are soft. Still, good artwork. FINAL FILE: Buy it, Read it, Bag it!
