Summary: The Graphic Novel of the Movie.
Comment: This is a graphic novel of the movie THE ATTACK OF THE CLONES. That pretty much sums everything up. However, being a graphic novel there are two major elements the book can be judged upon, art and story.
The art is very photorealistic and cinematic. There is a lot of detail and color. I must admit, I like the artistic style of the Marvel comics of the original trilogy much better than the photorealistic style of this book. However, for the style it is illustrated in, it is done quite well.
Story wise, the book stays pretty faithful to the movie. There are a few omissions from the film here, but there are also a few added scenes here that are not in the movie. A lot of the dialogue is taken directly from the film's script and though cheesy, reminds one of the language of the original trilogy.
This is something that most Star Wars fans will enjoy having and reading and works well as a memento to someone who hasn't seen ATTACK OF THE CLONES to perhaps get them excited enough to do so.

Summary: Beyond The Menace
Comment: If anyone was worried about the Star Wars franchise, relax. Because if this graphic novel translates well into film (or digital videotape as the case is with this installment) than we are in for something more intense than the previous four films have been.
This graphic novel outlines the story quite well and tells us nicely how the Republic makes its subtle change from a democracy to a dictatorship. Obi-Wan Kenobi continues his training of Anakin Skywalker and unwittingly walks into galactic civil war as the mechanisations of the Sith engulf the galaxy.
To say more would be telling. But I will say the art in this graphic novel is very well done. The ships, the characters, the aliens, and especially Jango Fett are rendered very well. My only complaint is that I remember the "Empire Strikes Back" version done by Marvel Comics, and I miss that style. But...I guess I'm getting old.
Nonetheless, this is a worthy catch, even if it lacks the old comic book feel that I remember when I was seven years old.

Summary: Excellently produced Star Wars comic
Comment: This comic is one of the best examples of the kind of work Darkhorse is now doing. I think that Jan Duursema is the A team penciler - artist they have. I like the fact that Jan draws in a near photo graphic way. It is very annoying to be reading a comic and you know what the characters look like, but you can't recognize them because of some creative license the artist took. I starting buying star wars comics because I could sit and read them with my small children. With one exception, star wars comics are always family friendly books. The artwork reinforcing the visual part of the story and I add creative license to help them enjoy the story. For that purpose, this comic works beautifully.
