Book Review: Doesn't quite measure up to prior volumes
Summary: 2 Stars
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 Six contains four new stories as follows:
1) "It Takes A Thief" - Saesee Tiin joins up with a local pickpocket, Na-Jia, to aid him in stealing a Separatist stealth fighter. Except he doesn't bother to explain the plan to Na-Jia. Saesee is portrayed as both tough and a bit mischievous. The snowdroids are a cool addition to the Separatist arsenal. A strong start to Volume Six (and this particular reader has a weakness for fantasy/sci-fi stories set in the snow).
2) "The Drop" - Republic Commando H.O.P.E. Squad must drop down into the upper atmosphere of a gas planet from space and rescue Jedi Treetower along with the package he was attempting to intercept. There's a razor-fine line between funny and ridiculous in this style of storytelling, but clone troopers using umbrella Mary Poppins-style to slow their atmospheric entry is just excessive. The goofy opening of this story made it hard to enjoy, although I give points for using an Ugnaught as a Jedi.
3) "To the Vanishing Point" - Jedi Ki-Adi Mundi remembers a mission which resulted in a tragic ending for recently knighted Jedi Rivi-Anu. This story mostly seems to be a prelude to Ki-Adi's imminent death during Order 66 on Mygeeto. There's not a whole lot of substance to this one.
4) "Means and Ends" - Kit Fisto and Plo Koon disrupt a prison riot and have a brief encounter with Durge. The art style takes an odd left turn in this story, looking more like a bizarre amalgam of a realistic portrayal blended with the familiar cartoon approach. Even more than the Ki-Adi Mundi story preceding it, this tale doesn't seem to have much point, and the change to the art is off-putting.
Clone Wars Adventures Volume Six wasn't quite up to the standard the last few issues have set. The first story is quite good but the other three don't entirely measure up.
