Editorial Reviews: Product Description As the Clone Wars continue to rock the Star Wars universe, the Republic's forces, led by the Jedi, find themselves drawn ever-deeper into Darth Sidious' evil web. With stories covering all aspects of the Clone Wars - from the trials of the revered Jedi Master Yoda, to the tribulations of the lowliest Clone Troopers fighting on the front lines, to the wicked machinations of the dreaded Count Dooku and General Grievous - these fast-paced tales feature a unique look into the world of Star Wars and at the events that shook the galaxy far, far away... Amazon.com Review The digest-sized Clone Wars Adventures takes the Clone Wars animated series as its base for a selection of all-new stories. The art by the Fillbach Brothers (Matt and Shawn) follows the simple style of the cartoons, and the stories, while inconsequential to the grander Star Wars universe, are usually entertaining. The most interesting of the four stories in the book are the first, in which Asajj Ventress and Durge battle General Grievous, and the second, in which a squad of clone troopers takes to the streets of Ord Mantell to intercept a crucial Separatist delivery. At fewer than 100 pages and with minimal dialogue, Clone Wars Adventures is best suited to young readers or fans who are looking for a quick pickup and put-down. --David Horiuchi

Customer Reviews: Poor quality books September 20, 2008 These comic books are great. My son will spend an hour at a time devouring them. He is only 5. The problem I have with them however, is that they are falling apart. At first I thought it was only the one book. We must have broken the spine or soemthing, but no. All of them are loosing their pages. Now I know my son is only five, but believe me when I say he is very careful with his books. He cherishes them. Theya re just made very poorly. We are so diappointed as we have to keep reorganizing the pages and figuring out hwere they belong. Expensive little books to have falling apart. Very disappointed. 4 new Clone Wars adventures December 16, 2007 I loved this comic book. Yes, it is based of the clone wars TV series but if you have never seen the series you wont be confused or any thing. This book is colorful and action packed. Not only that but it tells you a little bit about Grievous' past. Now while I liked it I know some people wont. This is probably dew to the unique drawling style or low amounts of dialog. Also the last two stories did seem short. And the ending of the second story is loved by some and hated by others. Personally I enjoyed this more light hearted take on the star wars galaxy and am happy to give it 4 stars. P.S. in the final story there are 3 dialog bubbles in an alien language. Only the 3rd is translated. Using that the others can be decoded. So if you want something extra to do have fun with that. Four slightly shorter stories than the first two books December 2, 2006 3 out of 3 found this review helpful Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures is an ongoing series from Dark Horse comics that takes its inspiration from the extremely successful Clone Wars cartoon series. This inspiration is visible in both the short, action-packed nature of the stories as well as in the art style itself. Volume Three contains four stories as follows: 1) "Rogues Gallery" - Asajj Ventress and Durge jointly face off against General Grievous and do not fare well. Grievous gains Dooku's confidence and is confirmed as leader of the Separatist droid armies. Much of the battle takes place in Dooku's highly creepy trophy room (including a gallery of art of himself!), which gets aggressively redecorated. It's hard to believe Grievous could dominate Durge and Asajj so handily, based on how Obi-Wan and Anakin fared in their various combats with each of the three villains. Still, it does establish him as a formidable presence, something some would argue Revenge of the Sith did not. 2) "The Package" - Two Republic commando teams head for the infamous Ord Mantell to retrieve a package of "extreme diplomatic importance" intended for Chancellor Palpatine. Much chaos and bloodshed ensues. It's always fun to roll along with the clone troops in a story and this one also has a nice Raiders of the Lost Ark nod in its closing. 3) "Stranger in Town" - Yoda defends a small village from a large Separatist army. Yoda maintains complete silence as he lugs a mysterious huge crate in, single-handedly wipes out the enemy, and walks off having saved the day once more. What's curious in this story is the means by which Yoda defends the village. Jedi and uber-machine guns don't really mix based on what the films and most of the Expanded Universe would tell us. 4) "One Battle" - Jedi Master Plo Koon swoops in to save a small squad of clones from certain doom and protect the entrance to a city. There's a great reveal on the title page as the camera pulls back to display just how dire of straits the clones are in. Plo Koon does the usual one-Jedi-against-heaps-of-droids bit and actually has a bit of dialogue as well. The first three volumes of this series use lower-quality paper than volumes four and up and present ads for Dark Horse/Gentle Giant products between each of the stories. The choice to eliminate the ads and improve the book quality for subsequent volumes was a good one and makes the later books feel less disposable. Clone Wars Adventures Volume Three gives us four slightly shorter stories than the ones in the first two books, giving them a little less time to develop a storyline, but it's still a fun read. Yoda and his box of whipass November 7, 2005 0 out of 1 found this review helpful Finally an illustrated story of the Republic commandos. Also it's good to see Yoda bring out the big guns by himself. If you liked the Clonewars cartoon you'll like this. A better effort April 4, 2005 2 out of 4 found this review helpful Clone Wars Adventures Volume 3 is an improvent over the first two volumes. However its still flawed. This novel does include Assajj and Durge verus Grievious ending with Grievous becoming the droid general we see of him in the cartoon and Revenge of the Sith. This is a sugnifigant event and shows just how powerful Grievous truely is. We also see an interesting story with Republic Commandos that shows just how pointless the war is. While better then the almost pointless last two volumes this still is to fast missing good details, great artwork, and dark themes of the far superior Republic series.
