Only two tales in the eighth volume of the Clone Wars comic saga . . .
Trackdown
Six months before Revenge of the Sith, Quinlan Vos (still of questionable loyalty, and obsessed with finding the second Sith behind Dooku) and Master Tholme use different methods to discover that the Separatists are cloning a fierce Nikto warrior caste (called 'Morgukai') and training them with Anzati warriors on Saleucami. While Tholme is trapped on-planet and committing sabotage in the shadows, Vos leads a siege on the planet to end this new threat once and for all.

Siege of Saleucami
Five months in to the siege of Saleucami, the Republic forces are faltering under a seemingly-impregnable Separatist shield. Various skirmishes bring Dark Siders Sora Bulq and Skorr against Vos, Tholme, Oppo Rancisis, Aayla Secura, K'kruhk, A'Sharad Hett, and a host of clone troopers. After a number of casualties, it seems that Vos' true allegiance is finally becoming clear . . . or is it? Is he for or against Sora Bulq, and will he kill him if necessary?

Overall
The series is winding down; only one more volume to go. It's still above-average for a Star Wars saga, though it seems to be faltering a bit, losing the grander scope of the war by overly focusing on Quinlan Vos. It's not bad- it's just not outstanding.
Rating: B+
