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...
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

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... more info
4 new Clone Wars adventures:
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.

Four slightly shorter stories than the first two books:
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... more info
Yoda and his box of whipass:
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.
