This review is from: Battle of the Bounty Hunters (Star Wars) [Pop-up Comic Book] (Hardcover)

First, I have to say that I haven't purchased a popup book in twelve plus years, and was happy to see Boba Fett's exploits placed in this format. It reminded me of the first time I saw Boba Fett as a kid, and that was a nice, though seldom experienced, sensation. The problem with this piece was that it really didn't have that much content and the price, for eighteen dollars, averages out to a buck fifty a page. Moreover, most of these images have already been displayed in other comic forums. Still, being a popup book, you really can't expect too much from the story (even though I thought Dark Horse might provide a little substance, and I can forgive the redundancy of the images. I liked it, but I'm not so certain I would tell anyone to buy it for the cover cost.

I'm sure glad I got this book as a gift, because I don't like thinking that I'd have wasted money on it. UGGHHH!

For 18 bucks, you get 12 pages of horrible art, and a mediocre-at-best cover illustration. This is a depiction Boba Fett ariving in Tatooine orbit with Solo, getting attacked by IG-88, and getting Solo to Jabba. Unfortunately, 95% of the story, dialogue, etc has been cut out. They counted, I guess, on it being "The Pop-Up Comic Book" to make this good. It wasn't. A horrible waste of money and resources.

If I were the rest of you, I wouldn't touch this stinker with a ten-foot cattle prod!
