Volume 6 - 1st printing. "Pursuit!"

Written by Elizabeth Hand. Art by Peter Bollinger.

After surviving his battle with the deadly General Grievous, Boba Fett has emerged as one of the best bounty hunters in the galaxy. With his customized helmet and armor, the wisdom of his father, and his own skill and determination, nothing will stop Boba from pursuing the one bounty he wants more than any other: the powerful Jedi Master Mace Windu—the man who killed his father. A chance meeting with Anakin Skywalker may just give Boba the chance he's been looking for. Anakin escorts Boba to the sprawling planet-city of Coruscant—seat of the galactic government and home to the Jedi Temple. Boba is closer than he's ever been to avenging his father, but first he must slip into the seedy criminal underworld and arm himself. Everything has led up to this. The hunt for Mace Windu is on! Blasters ignite and lightsabers cut the air as bounty hunter clashes with Jedi in the scorching conclusion to this epic series.
