The Review
The first second you open the book there’s already a great stream of the classic love hate relationship humour when C-3P0 is blaming R2 for the crash. As always in these comics we get a look at some interesting forest creatures and a new planet which always comes with new people.
In the second part we see Anakin shoot off into a solo mission to a deserted space station which reflected on the comic Agent of the Empire Volume 2 where Jahan Cross had to travel to an un-finished space casino, so if you enjoyed Jahan Cross then you’ll probably enjoy this story.
On the third story we see how Clone Commandos act toward a mis-behaving child and we learn how tough a Clone upbringing is and how they only have each other to rely on which can actually make you feel a bit sorry for the Clones. And the final story picks up from where Episode III left off from in Kysshyk where Order 66 had just been initiated. In this chapter we see how the wookies use their surroundings to destroy the clones. If you’re a fan of the classic characters then this is the volume for you!
