For anyone who has read the first volume in this series, Star Wars Clone Wars Volume 1,
You will know how well drawn and written these comics are.

For fans of the movies it is especially exiting to see what goes on between attack of the clones and the upcoming episode 3. These stories really give you a feel for the characters and allow you to get inside the heads of not only the good guys but the villains like the twisted bounty hunter Durge and the mysterious dark jedi Asajj Ventress. Star Wars fans have been waiting for decades to get to see the events of the clone wars and now we can in these volumes. I think this is especially important as we are told the clone wars will be wrapped up in the early parts of episode 3.

Volume 2, Victories and sacrifices covers 3 separate stories that are all interlinked. From the secret biological weapons factories on a swampy moon of naboo to the war-torn streets of Brentaal IV, this book leaves you longing for the 3rd instalment Last stand on Jabim, which is due March 04. Until then enjoy this thrilling chapter in the clone wars.
