"BEDLAM ON BESTINE, PART TWO"

There is a shadow war raging across the galaxy
between the Empire and the criminal syndicate
known as Crimson Dawn. That conflict has
T'onga's bounty hunter crew–Bossk, Zuckuss,
4-LOM, Losha and Tasu Leech–on a collision course
with Valance's team of heroes aboard a supply
transport on the Imperial outpost of Bestine.

One of them is also harboring a secret
that may tear Valance's world apart….
