A set of three connected short tales from the Clone Wars era. They take place after the Geonosis battle and before the last of the new films (Episode 3). Art was decent, and the plot was pretty good. Overall, a nice quick read. If you like Star Wars in the Clone Wars era, you will probably like these and get through them quickly. Of the three tales, I liked the last one best with Jedi Master Shaak Ti, who does ponder what the wars will do not only to the Republic, but to the Jedi as well. ( )

Around three months after the battle of Geonosis, many battles are won and lost for the Jedi. Several good Jedi are lost, and the Sepratists have developed deadly new chemicals and super-soldiers.

The comic with Shaak Ti was probably my favorite because of the surprises and the story. ( )
