While the synopsis for the issue tantalise a new team of bounty hunter being organise , the raw status quo Vader is impel upon Valance is far more interesting . The only reason the cyborg hunter would be revive by the Dark Lord is if Vader can get something out of him , and think that Vader ’s new delegation will berooting out the converted Crimson Dawn , Valance ’s fresh part will in all probability see him infiltrating their rank on his new master ’s behalf . As such , it makes horse sense that Vader would desire Valance to wait as human as potential to blend in more .

Having surgically removed Valance ’s affectionateness , it ’s likely that the cyborg bounty hunter will have no choice but to serveDarth Vaderdespite his hatred for the Empire . Not only is it like toAmanda Waller’smethods of keep in line scoundrel to work for her in the DC Universe , but it ’s arguably that much darker on a personal level considering all of the botheration Valance went through when he served the Empire willingly before his fortuity got him discharged against his will .
