Synopsis

Many on both sides of the Clone Wars have been wounded or killed. But the war has taken its toll on the survivors, too. Consumed by the belief that the Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress still lives, Obi-Wan Kenobi has temporarily forsaken his duties and recruited Anakin Skywalker in his desperate hunt for Ventress. But Anakin believes that Obi-Wan is chasing a ghost - because he himself killed Ventress. And Anakin's doubts about his former Master's quest are not assuaged when, following the trail of the rumors of Ventress' existence, they walk into a trap set by their old enemies, the bounty hunter Durge and Count Dooku! A tale that tests the strengths of the bonds of brotherhood!

About this title

Review

The seventh volume in Dark Horse's Clone Wars graphic-novel series collects the five-part miniseries Obsession, a title referring to Obi-Wan Kenobi and his refusal to believe that Count Dooku's assassin Asajj Ventress is truly dead. It's odd to have Anakin be the rational one, and the climactic showdowns, though exciting, have a sort of "all star" feel to them that make the story seem more like a stand-alone diversion rather than being tightly wound into the regular continuity of the Star Wars universe like most of the Clone Wars volumes. But even if When They Were Brothers doesn't quite measure up to that high standard, it still has the dynamic writing and art of SW veterans Hayden Blackman and Brian Ching. Filling out the volume is an Anakin/Obi-Wan story created for Free Comic Book Day 2005. --David Horiuchi
