 Clone Wars Adventures Vol 5 January 7, 2009
Robyn Hungerford (Sault Sainte Marie, MI USA)
Arrived in excellent condition. My son loves it and can't put the books down.
love the books, hate the binding. November 17, 2008

I am giving these books 5 stars because the kids love them. It's not that they don't care about the pages falling out, they do, but once they accepted I would not be wasting tape on the books, it stopped bothering me. We find the pages and play the "which page is next" game which I'm guessing helps with reading comprehension.
The pages are of good enough quality that when they do fall out they don't fall apart.
 Great book, poor quality September 20, 2008

These comic books are great. My son will spend an hour at a time devouring them. He is only 5. The problem I have with them however, is that they are falling apart. At first I thought it was only the one book. We must have broken the spine or soemthing, but no. All of them are loosing their pages. Now I know my son is only five, but believe me when I say he is very careful with his books. He cherishes them. Theya re just made very poorly. We are so diappointed as we have to keep reorganizing the pages and figuring out hwere they belong. Expensive little books to have falling apart. Very disappointed.

Excellent entry in the Clone Wars Adventures series November 21, 2006
Andrew Pruette (U.S.)
Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures is an ongoing series from Dark Horse comics that takes its inspiration from the extremely successful Clone Wars cartoon series. This inspiration is visible in both the short, action-packed nature of the stories as well as in the art style itself. Volume Five contains four new stories as follows:
1) "What Goes Up..." - Aayla Secura and the 327th Star Corps journey to the forest moon of Endor to investigate the disappearance of a Republic recon team. This is a great story, not least because it features Ewoks and also highlights a very amusing sarcastic battle droid. Each time I see Revenge of the Sith, I chuckle at the two lines the commander battle droid has on the bridge of the Invisible Hand when Grievous and the heroes meet. This droid captures that same attitude but takes it a lot further. Thumbs up for this tale!
2) "Bailed Out" - Another winner, this story follows a rescue mission to Metalorn led by Senator Bail Organa. The Separatists are holding a special prisoner and Organa must connive his way into the facility and attempt to help. I liked the notion of having a Senator support the war effort by directly using politics as a weapon.
3) "Heroes on Both Sides" - The Separatists abandon their allies on the Viidaav Mining Colony and trigger a weapon that will doom the whole planet. Unbeknownst to each other, a clone commander and a Viidaavian race to both try and stop the catastrophe. This story is told in an innovative mirror style where panels on facing pages show similar events from two distinct points of view.
4) Order of Outcasts" - Like Volume Four, this book ends with an Order 66 tale. Padawan Joc Sah is caught in the middle of the Jedi slaughter while trying to secure a Republic outpost on Ragmar V. Ragtag locals he initially thought of as the enemy suddenly become allies. This story shows the shift in thinking any Jedi surviving the carnage of Order 66 will be required to do in order to have any hope of staying alive under the Emperor's New Order.
Clone Wars Adventures Volume Five was a standout in this series. All four stories were strong and the first two in particular are worth taking a look.
