Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am a major Star Wars fan. I intially learned about Obi-Wan's "death" and his escape from Asajj Ventress with Alpha in a Extended Universe Databank entry for him on the Star Wars website. Afterwards, I practiclly tore through everything Clone Wars looking for this incident. When I finally got this comic in my hands (I rented it at the library) I was beyond excited.
Here's what I can tell you:
The first story in the comic is about Senator Bail Organa, and his struggles in the Senate. It is well-illustrated, and shows how far some of the corruption from the war has gone. I give it a 5-star rating (it's not every day that you get to see Senatoral action!)
The second comic is about a friend of the Chancellor's who had died fighting...the friend was a Jedi. This story deals with how the two met, and shows a bit of background info on the chancellor. The art is good, and I also give it a 5-star rating.
The next two comics are about Obi-Wan and Alpha's escape from captivity. The first comic deals more with Obi-Wan and Alpha getting off the planet, whereas the second is more about Anakin and how he finally finds his "dead" master. The art in the first one is so-so...some pictures look weird, and Alpha looks funny in about 95% of them. The art in the second comic isn't that great...the pictures of Alpha get REALLY weird, and the other characters aren't looking that great either. I give it 4.5 stars...I'd give it less, but the first part gives some very vital info about the notorious Asajj Ventress (and the plot is pretty darned good).
The final part of the comic is a story about another battle in the Clone Wars, this one with Yoda. The art, suprisingly, is done Japense-animae style (minus the sweat drops, swirly eyes, and other things that make Magna and such so funny). Despite this, the art is still appealing (though some pictures look weird), and the storyplot is very good. I give it 5 stars.
All in all, this is a pretty good comic book. If you want more info on the Clone Wars, then you should get this out at the library, or, if you want to spend around 15 bucks, buy it. I give this comic book 4.5 stars overall.
