Star Wars: Obsession #2

Part two of this five-issue Clone Wars series from Dark Horse puts the tension front and center: a brown-robed Jedi wielding a blue lightsaber stands his ground while the massive, cybernetically enhanced Asajj Ventress looms behind him against a backdrop of fire and chaos. Brian Ching's cover art captures a striking contrast between the determined young hero and the hulking, skull-adorned villain bearing down on him. With Haden Blackman guiding the story, this 2004 series delivers the kind of high-stakes Star Wars drama that Clone Wars fans were hungry for.
