The New Face of the War September 15, 2005
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Clone Wars Volume 2, "Victories and Sacrifices", progresses the Clone Wars in ways only graphic novels can. For followers of this graphic series, you really have no choice but to continue with the purchase of Victories and Sacrifices. Here's the rundown of what to expect in the second of the series.
First of all, the Confederacy comes in right off the bat with chemical warfare. The main objective for Obi-Wan Kenobi is to find the cure. In this, we meet Asajj Ventress and Durge, a Dark Jedi and a biological phenom respectively. Both play their part in the war against the Republic, serving Count Dooku with no remorse as to the effects of their actions.
We also learn the stories of unheard of Jedi, one in particular, a fascinating Jedi Healer named Master Fay who "never raised her lightsaber in combat". Her story alone is brilliant, and will please any fan of the Star Wars universe. It's simply marvelous what this book does for the face and meaning of the true Jedi Master.
The main element you will take from Victories and Sacrifices is how amazing Obi-Wan Kenobi is as a Jedi Knight. You'll adore his adventures and his willpower in this collection, and especially see how deserving he is of his spot on the Jedi Council.
One last thing... you meet an ARC trooper, and they are yet another wonderful story in the ever expanding universe of Star Wars. ARCs are more independent (more like Jango Fett himself) than the other clones, and they are true warriors.
This collection has the next great chapter in the Clone Wars saga. If you haven't read Clone Wars Volume 1, do so first. Once again, Star Wars proves itself as truly the greatest franchise to ever be created.
SUPERB QUALITY CONTROL WORKS. January 1, 2004
5 out of 7 found this review helpful
I have been critical of the occasional lack of quality control by lazy editors at dark horse. But this comic is magnificent! I had tripidations when i realized that two writters, 3 pencilers and 3 inkers were involved. But the editors and everyone else did their jobs and the results are tremendous.The master plan for the entire PRE-QUEL endeavor has been very satisfying so far, unlike the extremely disappointing NJO. Here the master plan combines excellent novels and comic books with the movies to tell the story. Excellent followup to volume 1. Great job Lucas films and darkhorse.

The Clone Wars rage on in this exciting volume.This book contains the first appearances of the two new villains of the Clone Wars: the bounty hunter Durge, and Asajj Ventress, the female Dark Jedi. If you saw the CW animated series than you are familiar with these villains. They are great new characters, and are the new face of war. Durge has a very cool look as well as an entertaining personality and dialogue. The art is handled by three artists, all of them excellent. This features the first time Brian Ching drew an issue (Republic #53), and it's nice detailed work. Jan Duuresma is outstanding, as usual. Tomas Giorello also does a commendable job. Dark Horse is really doing tremendous work with Star Wars right now. In my opinion, the current SW comics are among the best they've ever published.
The Wars continue... December 10, 2003

Anyone who has read the first collected comic "Star Wars: Clone Wars; Volume 1" knows that the art work and story lines are excellent!!! This issue expands on the conflict of the Clone Wars and develops the characters more so you can really get a feel for who they are and how they act, especially the Sith Warriors. Volume 2 contains much more action than Volume 1 and leaves you wanting the next Volume already! If you have a love for Star Wars and the expanded universe of the comics; or if you just love a few great war stories in a sci-fi setting, this is the comic for you. However it should be said that although this comic can be read without reading the first volume, those that have read the first will enjoy this comic more as they can notice the character development and know the origins of some of the conflicts in this volume. Happy reading and (Always wanted to say this), May the Force be with you!
