So after this only one more to go - I don't remember the last time i have worked my way through such a long graphic novel series and I must admit i have really enjoy it - I will be looking out for something else to get my teeth in to (and I hope not my wallet)I will admit though that this books had a number of issues with it that didn't quite bring it up the same level as earlier books. The artwork shifted around a bit with the styles and not all of them were to my liking - however I guess that

Star Wars Legends Project #157 Background: When They Were Brothers, released in November of 2005, collects the 5-issue Obsession storyline (written by W. Haden Blackman and drawn by Brian Ching from November 2004-May 2005) and the 2005 "Free Comic Book Day Special" issue (written by Miles Lane and pencilled by Nicola Scott). All contributed to numerous other issues of Republic, along with a wide variety of other Star Wars comics between them. Blackman and Ching have contributed to several doz

A good read. Interesting to see Obi-Wan as the obsessed one.

This is a story that wraps up the big hitting generals of the Confederacy side: Durge and Ventress. This book works to give a very positive view of the friendship/partnership of Obi wan and Anakin. However one thing that is really notable is that Obi-Wan sees great wisdom in Anakin and a role reversal takes place. Kenobi experiences fear and anger and other aspects that would make any jedi close to the dark side, while in some moments Anakin is an ocean of calm for his former master. This is a g...

Obi Wan is convinced that Ventress is still alive and goes after her. Anakin under protest joins him. This is a cute look at their relationship, and how they've grown. The ventress storyline is good too, as you end up feeling sorry for her. A good read.

The main story Obsession follows Obi-Wan’s obsession into finding the now-believed dead Ventress. This leads to an epic face-off against Durge, a significant battle that includes General Grevious and a final confrontation with a surprisingly moving conclusion. The artwork as a little odd but the story was first rate.There’s also an untitled short story that showcases just how Obi-Wan and Anakin trust each other and rely upon one another. It’s a little unnecessary but quite poignant when knowing

A step back in Clone Wars graphic novel terms, but then this one isn't part of the main story-arc written by Ostrander. It's fun enough but mostly straight forward action-oriented adventure with Obi-Wan and Anakin hunting down a thought-to-be-dead Ventress (why is Obi-Wan so sure she's alive, anyway?) and dispatching Durge along the way. Not much to get your teeth into but it zips along at a nice pace.

Ce volume de Clone Wars se passe 5 mois avant l'Épisode 3. Obi-Wan est obsédé à l'idée de retrouver Asajj Ventress. Tout le monde la croit morte sauf lui. Il réussi à trouver des informations à propos d'une futur assassinat qu'elle serait sur le point de faire. Kenobi va donc chercher l'aide d'Anakin qui est en vacance sur Naboo pour l'aider à sa mission. Skywalker n'est guère enchanter de quitter Padmé pour une des lubies de son ancien maître. Ce qu'il ne sait pas c'est que Obi-Wan pourrait avo...

A cute, but short adventure for Anakin and his Master Obi-Wan

Obi-Wan is one of my favorite characters from the Star Wars Universe and I really enjoyed seeing more of his story. It was also very interesting to see more of his and Anakin's relationship.

20 BBYThis volume contains "Obsession" issues 1-5 and the short "Brothers in Arms." Obsession was an iconic piece in seeing more of Obi-wan and Anakin's relationship. While Anakin claims to have killed Ventress on Coruscant, Obi-wan is positive she is still alive and asks Anakin to help find her. When they do, she is in a bacta tank, fully recovered by Dooku's aid. When she fails yet again to kill Obi-wan, Dooku has one of his droids end her for her failures. Obi-wan finds that he has been able

*shrug* This volume was ok. It didn't add that much to Ventress as a character and Anakin wasting his arrogant self as usual. What surprised me was how blatant the whole Anakin/Padmé thing was -pretty hard for Obi-Wan to claim he didn't know.

Really a 3.5, but it is the only book in the Clone Wars series thus far that really sticks out and has that old Star Wars feel for me. Brisk action and some light character moments that aren't people standing around lecturing one another. Brian Ching's artwork is always welcome, especially when it isn't inked.

Star Wars: Clone Wars, Volume 7: When They Were Brothers feels a little bit more lightweight than the previous volume - there are fewer degenerate pirates or bounty hunters, and there is no further development of the Quinlan Vos arc. Instead we have a series of stories that highlight Obi-Wan and Anakin's friendship (with plenty of lightsaber combat in the mix as well).There are a couple of returning characters - ARC Trooper Alpha makes a welcome reappearance, as does the bounty hunter Durge, but...

A second reread: loved it even more. "Every padawan knows where to find you, Anakin.". Oh, Anakin.

Awesome! The countdown to Episode III is getting smaller and the action is built up wonderfully. I really love this story from its title to its fantastically beautiful artwork. This story sews up the final threads into the fate of two popular characters in the Clone Wars and from there leads into the attitudes of Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi as they prepare for their eventual destiny. A-

I finally get to read volume 7!! Anakin and pretty much everyone else assume Asajj Ventress is dead after the events of the previous volume. Obi-Wan Kenobi still thinks she's alive and won't take 'no' for an answer. The artwork really brings home the physical and mental exhaustion that the ongoing conflict has wreaked on the Jedi - especially Obi-Wan. The attention to detail in that respect is brilliant. Is Obi-Wan's obsession with Ventress blinding him to other things? The Jedi are trying to de...

Just a warning: this review will have spoilers without the (view spoiler)[you think this is a spoiler? then why'd you click, nerfherder!!! (hide spoiler)] thing there. This is only because these are spoilers for those who don't watch The Clone Wars. So if you didn't not watch at least just season five, you're in for some spoilers.Yeesh. Talk about a letdown. This by far is the worst book from Dark Horse's original SW stuff. It does the one thing I hate in comics: the supposed death and revival o...

I haven’t read anything else in this series, but this volume captures why we love Obi-Wan and Anakin together. And Ventress is always a plus. Wish this was canon!

Just one story in this volume, occasionally broken up, titled Obsession, and focusing on Obi-Wan’s obsession that Asajj Ventress is still around somewhere and his determination to track her down.This is a bit of a last gasp, as the Star Wars timeline hurtles towards Revenge of the Sith, and so the series which has often distinguished itself by taking us away from the main movie characters and giving us the interesting adventures of others, now spends an entire volume on the relationship between
