If a raccoon and a tree can get a found-family; so can...whatever Zuckuss and 4-LOM are.

I had their figures when I was a kid, and have their Star Wars Black figures; but could I have told you anything about these two as characters? Um, one's a bug-guy, the other one's a droid; they bounty hunt! Done. From 2021, Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters: 4-LOM & Zuckuss #1, "Zuckuss Must Die!" Written by Daniel José Older, art by 座間慧 credited as Kei Zama.

The titular duo are among the upper echelons of bounty hunters in the galaxy, but I think this series was set between Empire and Return, so Boba Fett was still top of the game, and had recently beat them both, even stealing 4-LOM's head to use for something to move his plot forward, I'd assume. A battered Zuckuss drags himself back to his usual hangout--Jega's Music Hall and Petting Zoo? Uh, sure. Zuckuss is dismayed to hear his pal "For-Elloem" was probably disintegrated, but then senses his return--in an upgraded spidery body, there to kill Zuckuss!

The first bounty hunting kill Zuckuss and 4-LOM had pulled as a team, actually got the guy's brother instead: he'd been plotting revenge ever since, and here it was. Zuckuss accepts his fate, since he won't raise arms to a friend, but the rest of the gang from the music hall have his back. Zuckuss guns down the bounty they should've got before, but a damaged and confused 4-LOM escapes into the night. Still, I like the idea that those two weirdos could have a whole Guardians of the Galaxy-style crew form around them; even though I know 4-LOM usually has to take the worst of it, because he can get repaired and put back in the story later the easiest. (The monkey-like Chat seems very Rocket Raccoon-y; he even has a fetish for collecting limbs from victims!)
