Product Description

Product Description
Bridging the gap between "Star Wars Episode II" and "Episode III", the four-armed, light-saber wielding General Grievous blasts his way into his own series! On a rescue mission to the planet Vandos, Padawan Flynn Kybo and his master T'chooka D'oon come face to face with one of the leaders of the Separatist army, General Grievous. After Grievous kills his master, Kybo goes to the Jedi Council with a plan to take out the General before more lives are lost. When Grievous hijacks a transport ship of Padawans, the desperate Jedi must hunt the galaxy before he adds more lightsabers to his growing collection! This exclusive to graphic novel story is a must for all "Star Wars" fans!

3.0 out of 5 stars About General Grievous this book is not, 18 April 2007
By ShriDurga (Japan) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Star Wars: General Grievous (Star Wars (Dark Horse)) (Paperback)
This is not a horrible book, but you might be disappointed if you think you'll be getting a story about General Grievous. As with a lot of Star Wars EU, the focus here is on characters you've never heard of and will probably never hear of again, a group of teenaged Padawan who have lost their masters to General Grievous and who strike out on their own, against the wishes of the Jedi council, to hunt down and assassinate the multi-limbed cyborg. As this story takes place before "Revenge of the Sith," you already know their mission will be a failure, so there's not a lot here to create suspense. And since we know that Grievous can wield as many as six lightsabers at a time, you know too how the Padawan are likely to meet their end.

With over a dozen characters in a such a short book, it's a fairly impossible task to make even a handful unique. Having boxed himself in on the plot, writer Chuck Dixon is left with little to do and the story is carried mostly by the very fine illustrations of Rick Leonardi and Mark Pennington.

If you'd like to read more about Grievous, as of this writing the only sources that contain background on the General himself is the novel "Labyrinth of Evil," and the graphic novel "Star Wars Visionaries," which contains one Grievous story. Both of these books come highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars The FSFH Book Review says:, 23 Mar 2006
By Ian Tapley "thefragrantwookiee" - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This story takes place two years after 'Attack Of Clones' (and therefore a year before 'Revenge Of The Sith'), when the Clone Wars are at their peak.

It involves a group of rogue Jedi and vengeful miners who decide to hunt down the brutal Separatist warlord of the title.

What I liked about this book was the fact that, unlike so much of the Clone Wars stuff, it doesn't feel the need to include Obi-Wan, Anakin, Quinlan Vos or Aayla Secura. This helps to further the concept that the Clone Wars contain countless interesting stories, rather than just those focusing around the more famous Jedi.

Another massive benefit is that the General Grievous presented here is the powerful, ruthless killer of the Clone Wars cartoon, rather than the incompetent, cowardly weakling presented in Episode III. To match Dixon's impressive writing of the General, Rick Leonardi presents some truly outstanding images of Grievous in action.

This isn't an earth-shatteringly good Star Wars book, but it's definitely worth checking out.
