Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
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!
Amazon.com 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

This book has so many things in it that a Star Wars fan like me would love, I probably wouldn't be able to fit it in just one review!*WARNING-SPOILERS AHEAD!* First of all, I would like to say two words: General Grievous! In all his four-armed glory! Of course, it should be noted that he only has four arms in a battle for about ten seconds. It is still cool though! Another thing that makes this book awsome: there is a great mini-battle between Obi-Wan and a villain with a vibro-whip. It is quite exciting. Seeing Anakin and Obi-Wan vs. Durge is great, too! Not to mention, a several-panel-long Jedi battle. It was neat to see them dismantle all those attle droids! Now, the part of the review that focuses on the woman Obsession (The very first story in this book and the very first portion of this review) is centerd around: Asajj Ventress! The minute you see her, be prepared for twists and turns at the end of the Obsession story! Now, I'll review the second story in this book. The main highlight in this story is seeing a desperate fight featuring Obi-Wan and Anakin vs. swarms of battle droids. It may not be a long story, and it may not add much to the Clone Wars, but it kept me on the edge of the seat and guessing what was going to happen next. Overall, I think this as an excellent book and every Star Wars fan should give it a try.

In the Clone Wars series this has to be the top collection, or at least subsequent to it. Nearly everyone makes an apperance. We finally see Anakin and Padme together, alone. Anyone who owns a lightsaber gets to ignite it. Jedi and Sith alike learn that the cost of victory is so high sometimes, that it is a defeat. And Anakin figures out how to put Durge down so he stays down.

A Star Wars adventure set around about a few months before the last of the not very good movies. Jedi masters abound, and Obi-Wan is on the hunt for one of the bad variety, who he suspects is not actually dead.
General Grievious kills a jedi - Master Bayts, I kid you not.
Apart from that, a lot of killing clones and busting up of droids and Obi-Wan and Anakin just making it out of places.
One really cool double page spread of a space battle, too.

This is a great series! Absolutely worth to begin an excellent Star Wars series! The art is great and there are a lot of details and things to watch in these magazines.
Rated by buyers -
The clone wars series is absolutely fabulous. It has a superb story and great art. It fleshes out Jedi characters that we don't see much about in the movies and does so in a very moving and exciting way.
This volume is unfortunately the weakest so far in the series. The story continues to be excellent, exploring the relationship between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. However, the art in this volume leaves something to be desired (particularly when compared with previous volumes).
Still worth the read, but don't expect to be floored by it.
