Marvel Comics has announced that a new bounty hunter will be added to this Galaxy Far, Far Away on July 21 in the pages of Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters - Jabba the Hutt #1.
Created by writer Justina Ireland and artist Iban Coello, Deva Lompop will be recruited by Jabba the Hutt to succeed where Boba Fett has failed by bringing him Han Solo! Equipped with an array of unique weaponry and sporting a killer design, Deva is set to have a major impact on the action-packed crossover and will appear in all four upcoming War of the Bounty Hunters one-shots.
However, while Deva may be new to Star Wars fans, it's said that she’s been causing trouble in the Galaxy for a very long time. A member of the alien species known as the Shani, Deva’s long lifespan has allowed her to operate in the underworld since the High Republic era, and that means we can expect her to appear in those stories soon too (it could even lead to a live-action debut).
"Deva was the product of my absolute love of feathered lizards and badass women," Ireland explains. "There is definitely something awesome about getting a chance to bring a High Republic character to the War of the Bounty Hunters, and for High Republic fans they should watch for Deva in upcoming works."
