Boba Fett's back in Marvel's latest Star Wars-inspired Black, White & Red (not blood). The start of the four-issue mini-series (Boba Fett -- Black, White & Red #1 (of 4)) sees the erstwhile loner pitting rival factions -- the Rebellion and the Empire -- against one another in a way that leaves him better off than when he began.
In Marvel's Star Wars (Vol. 4) #5, several plot threads are brought forward on multiple worlds as The Clone Wars era slams headfirst into the time between the Original and Sequel trilogies.
