Star Wars Clone Wars Adventures Vol. 3

Fillbach Brothers (majority of art and one storyline), et. al. Darkhorse Books, Feb. 2005.

Won't make it a habit to review comic books here but I had to just say that I picked this up expecting something better from the Star Wars canon, but the art is frankly horrible and the storytelling limited. The last story is the old joke One Riot, One Texas Ranger : One Battle, One Jedi. The Yoda story is goofy-cool, with hillbilly aliens, but definitely not what I would consider very Yoda-esque: the use of a gigantic gun to destroy literally thousands of enemies. However, after seeing the "first three" chapters/movies (and a disappointing waste they are as well!), I have come to the conclusiont hat apparently a person needs to have seen this past year of the Star Wars cartoon (with the same art as this comic book) in order to fully understand the story as presented in Revenge of the Sith.

More commentary later: Star Wars deserves a very involved look/dissertation on good storytelling and where it went so wrong.
