Seven-Month-Old Comics: The Top-Shelf August 25 (2021) "War of the Bounty Hunters" Edition (HERE BE SPOILERS!)

Star Wars:  Darth Vader #15 (August 25):  At Vader's behest, Ochi discovers that Bokku the Hutt is working with Crimson Dawn against Jabba the Hutt.  It's a significant revelation, though it isn't clear why yet.  Notably, Ochi refuses Crimson Dawn's offer to betray Vader and join them, though I'm not sure that he makes the right call in picking Vader.  We'll see.

Star Wars:  Doctor Aphra #13 (August 25):  This issue follows the same path as "Star Wars:  Darth Vader" #15.  Aphra and Sana discover that the Black Sun agent on whom Aphra spilled her cocktail to swipe her data necklace is a Crimson Dawn spy.  Moreover, although I really haven't understood why Wong is spending so much time on the Lucky/Yu story, they discover that their mentor Gallin has abandoned the Sixth Kin to join Crimson Dawn.  Putting all these revelations together, it's clear that Crimson Dawn has been moving its pieces into place for quite some time.  Also, this issue is a pet peeve #1 example, as Aphra and Sana are barely in a panel with Vader let along fight him.
