Product Description

Product Description
As the Star Wars Universe expands to meet the onrush of Star Wars Episode III, another chapter in the epic Clone Wars saga unfolds as the conflict between the Jedi and the Separatists races to its devastating climax. The Dark Side of the Force can be a dangerous temptation to even the strongest Jedi, as Quinlan Vos discovers when he crosses lightsabers with the true master of the Dark, Count Dooku. Its seductive, poisonous nature is even more testing to the novice, as new knight Aayla Secura learns when she battles fallen Jedi Aurra Sing. Closing the gap between Episode II and Episode III, the official Clone Wars timeline spans novels, graphic novels and now the new animated series showing on Toonami!

About the Author
John Ostrander is the author of Star Wars: Twilight, as well as Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, the official adaptation of the smash-hit sequel! Jan Duursema has worked on a number of Star Wars titles, including Darth Maul, Twilight and the official Episode II adaptation. Dan Parsons has worked mainly in independent comics, including the acclaimed Stranger Kisses and Prophet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Espionnage, the Dark Side and lightsabers galore., 25 Aug 2004
By Ian Tapley "thefragrantwookiee" - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
THE STORY:
Jedi Master Quinlan Vos has been given the task of infiltrating the Separatists and in order to fool Count Dooku, he must walk the path of the dark side. But Dooku knows more than he lets on and deliberately allows Quinlan further into the ranks of the Dark Jedi. Meanwhile, a group of Jedi travels to Devaron, where Aayla Secura (Quinlan's apprentice) must confront the dark side embodied by the cruel bounty hunter Aurra Sing.

WHAT'S GOOD:
This graphic novel certainly lives up to the 'Dark' in the title. Quinlan lives among the criminal world of the Star Wars universe and travels an even darker road when he becomes an agent of Count Dooku. There is plenty of distinctly adult unpleasantness here (Quin executing his assistant Tookarti, allowing a Jedi Master to be tortured to death, murdering his old enemy Tinte Vos and assassinating a Senator) and this darkness adds a tone of maturity sometimes missing from Star Wars graphic novels. As I mention above, there's also lightsabers galore, with no fewer than seven duels taking place.
The art, by Jan Duursema, is of consistently high quality and shows that the artist's skills have been honed and refined since 'Twilight', 'Darkness' and 'Rite Of Passage' (the other Quinlan Vos books). On the cameo front there's a number of characters glimpsed in 'Attack Of The Clones', such as Kit Fisto, Sora Bulq and Agen Kolar, as well as appearances by Ki-Adi-Mundi, Yoda and Mace Windu. There's also a host of characters from the earlier Quinlan stories, as well as the 'Jedi Council: Acts Of War' series, including, Tholme, T'ra Saa, the Dark Woman (whose name we finally learn), Jeisel, Tsui Choi and K'kruhk. However, the two character who make this book are Aayla Secura and Aurra Sing. The confrontation and contrast of these two potent warrior women, one who has bested their dark side and one who has succumbed, makes for exhilerating reading.

WHAT'S BAD:
The first (a pettiest) thing is that, although this is volume 4, it's actually mostly set before volume 3, so you might have to deal with people constantly pointing at your bookshelf and saying you've put them the wrong way around! The relationship between Quinlan and Khaleen is given very little plot time, when I think it should be a far more developed idea. Also, Quinlan is a bit of an idiot. He'd have to be to not see that Dooku is manipulating him and to continue denying that he's fallen to the dark side even after he's started arbitrarily executing people. Finally, aside from the Aayla/Aurra confrontation, this graphic novel doesn't really resolve any of the plot threads that it sets in motion, so you'll have to wait for volume 5 or 6.

Dark, nasty and a great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Light + Dark, 2 Jul 2004
Whilst the above review is about a different product, it does give the right score. Of the four Clone Wars TPB's out at the moment, this one is definetly the best. All of the artwork is by the fantastic Jan Duursema, and John Ostrander once agin demonstrates why he is Dark Horse's #1 writer. The four stories in this collection (Republic 54 + 63, and the double sized issues Jedi: Aayla Secura and Jedi: Count Dooku) continue the story of fan favourite Quinlan Vos, a troubled Jedi Master who keeps brushing the Dark Side. While it helps if you have more understanding of Quinlan's story (read the Twilight, Darkness, Rite of Passage and Clonw Wars 1 TPB's), this collection easily stands up on its own. The artwork is sublime, especially in Jedi: Dooku, which uses every art technique conceivable to convey the darkness of its story. Probably not for the very young (theres a few violent lightsaber deaths) but definetly a must have for any comic book and/or Star Wars fan.
You'll read it cover to cover, then do it again to marvel at the art.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two books of greatness, 19 Mar 2004
These books are amazing they help you know what happens between episode 2 and episode 3, these two books feature Mace Windu the Jedi Master and Count Dooku the Sith Lord, it lets you know what happens to them between episode 2 and episode 3, like Count Dooku's new apprentice Asijj Ventress and Mace Windu trying to get back jedi who left the acadamey. I really recommend this book, I give it 5 out of 5!
