General Grievous

General Grievous is a ruthless Separatist military commander and cyborg warrior who serves as a supreme general of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars, renowned for collecting the lightsabers of fallen Jedi and wielding multiple blades simultaneously in battle.

Few villains in the Modern Age galaxy far, far away command attention quite like General Grievous, who burst onto the comics scene in 2004 courtesy of Welles Hartley and the Fillbach Brothers in Dark Horse's Clone Wars Adventures Free Comic Book Day special. Over two decades of appearances, this menacing commander has squared off against some of the most iconic names in the Star Wars universe — Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mace Windu, and even Yoda share his pages — placing him at the very heart of the Clone Wars conflict. His most significant comics presence spans Star Wars: Obsession, Clone Wars Adventures, and Episode III – Revenge of the Sith adaptations, cementing him as a key figure in the dark, war-torn era that bridges the prequel saga. If you love the grand, tragic sweep of the Republic's final days, General Grievous is absolutely worth tracking down.
