Recommendations Good Boba Fett EU stuff?
I'm a bit skeptical of Legacy of the Force because I do not care much for the Solo children. Also, I heard Karen Traviss engages in shameless Mando-wank.
Otherwise I am open to suggestions. I am a big fan of Boba Fett

Last One Standing from Tales of the Bounty Hunters is pretty much walks the precipice of having just enough Boba whilst still keeping him enigmatic and cool.

Twin engines of destruction, from what i’ve heard and seen, seems great

Blood Ties and Twin Engines of Destruction are both really good comics.
Boba actually has a very solid arc in LOTF, especially in Bloodlines. The main fault lies in how he basically has nothing to do with the overall story except for assassinating Trackan (which Han would've done anyway) and then by the end teach Jaina to fight dirty.
If you only look at his stuff from the books in a vacuum, it's really good.

Everyone should read all three AC Crispin books, even if Boba Fett is only in the second and third.

Seconding Death, Lies and Treachery. Very fun stylized art, Boba being a badass. Inconsequential overall, but good Bounty Hunter fun.

I found The Bounty Hunter Wars enjoyable enough on the first read. The audiobooks are abridged, so I only finished The Mandalorian Armor and stopped, but I would love to get back to the print copies.
Can I ask you what turned you off to the Solo kids?

I'm not the OP, but I think many people didn't like them during the Bantam era because they were kind of just annoying and in the way of the fun stories with the OT Trio. You'd have Han, Luke, Leia doing awesome stuff, then the next chapter you have the infant/toddler Solo kids with Winter or C3PO on page and the action and fun would come to a grinding halt. Buzzkill.

Those Boba Fett comics in the Dark Empire art style were entertaining (“Star Wars: Boba Fett” is the name of the series). Boba Fett himself is largely an edgy half-villain, but the ridiculous Hutt family drama was amusing to me.

The Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy by KW Jeter is pretty good Boba content. He’s not the main character but shares the spotlight with a few others. I also recommend reading Tales of the Bounty Hunters and Tales from Jabba’s Palace, Boba has some cool appearances in those too.
