Jedi News Comic Review: Clone Wars Adventures: Volume 10

First, three young Padawans must fend for themselves as the separatist battle force is on its way. How will these three Padawans fight their way out with only a herd of banthas, some old farm instruments and a tractor?

Will they make it out or will they get annihilated? Find out in “Thunder Road”

The lone Trooper must venture through the woods and down a cave to retrieve the stolen munitions. But time is nearing and things start to get complicated. Will he accomplish his mission or will the battle forces cross the bridge? Find out in “Waiting”

It’s the last volume and review for Star Wars Clone Wars Adventures series and we’ve had some weird, wacky and wonderful stories reflecting the beautiful imagination of the Star Wars Universe. The first story sees some great use of onomatopoeia’s but is drawn in a very childish manner, although this is a kid’s series it makes the story look like every other kid’s comic which isn’t the Star Wars way!

Although the action and humour in the second story makes up! But in the third story we see appearances from Ki-Adi-Mundi and Aayla Secura working together in the background which hasn’t been seen in the films before. There’s also plenty of action and humour which makes a great read, unfortunate that they couldn’t have kept it this way for all of the series.

Overall this has been a very interesting series with loads of unseen vehicles, weapons and species, great stuff for the Expanded Universe. This series has also perfectly showed how Star Wars can adapt and help show off the amazing imagination of people’s minds. Personally I think this comic series would make a cracking present for Christmas for the kids!
