Publisher's summary[]

INFERNO SQUAD TAKES THE SHOT! The BOUNTY HUNTERS must take on the INFERNO SQUAD head-on! This is the final fight of the Bounty Hunters as you know them! The fallout will shake the lineup to its core… Who STAYS? Who GOES? Who JOINS?

Plot summary[]

"IN THE CROSSHAIRS OF INFERNO SQUAD, PART II"

The dreaded ''Inferno Squad'' has tracked down ''T'onga's'' bounty hunter
crew in their hunt for ''Valance''. The cyborg may have witnessed, and
thus inadvertently recorded in his cerebral processor implant, secret
''Imperial'' intelligence on the construction of a new ''Death Star''. One
way or another, squad leader ''Iden Versio'' is determined to make sure
that information is deleted from existence. Her team has already taken
down two of the most formidable bounty hunters—T'onga and ''4-LOM!''

On ''Corellia'', the ''Unbroken Clan's'' leader, ''Vukorah'', is besieged by
enemies from within her crime syndicate attempting to seize the
throne. But the danger intensifies with the arrival of assassin droid
''IG-88'', who is out to collect an Imperial bounty… on Vukorah's head!

Development[]

Around the time of October 4, 2022, writer Ethan Sacks was working on the script for the issue.^[3]
