Shadows of the Empire was a six-issue miniseries that was part of the Shadows of the Empire multimedia campaign. While the events of the comic coincide with the events of the novel, the comic does not follow much the exploits of Leia, Lando and the mysterious villainess Guri, who here plays only a minor supportive role; on the other hand it includes a generous amount of what Boba Fett was up to during that time, the rivalry with his fellow bounty hunters, and Jix's mission on Tatooine.
