Publisher summary:
The Bad Batch survived Aurra Sing once. But her mission isn't yet complete, and the clones will have to face the bounty hunter a second time if they want to save her next target! Clone Force 99 put their lives on the line in one final confrontation with the notorious assassin. If they fail, it could cost the Republic countless agents... and the entire war!
Dark Horse Comics
Why it matters: The Bad Batch cap off an epic adventure as they rescue a secret Republic spy and face off against the fearsome Aurra Sing.
Key moments:
It’s Coarse: In a scene that would make Anakin’s blood boil, the Batch stealthily takedown a group of battle droids in the midst of a sandstorm.
A Finale Duel: Aurra Sing is a tough combatant, and it takes the entire crew just to hold her at bay. But, in the end, the Bad Batch always handles their mission.
Next Missions?: Mace Windu congrats the crew on a job well done, but there’s always more work ready for them. The Bad Batch are teaming up next with General Kenobi. Is it merely a reference to The Clone Wars or do we have another possible comic miniseries to look forward to??
Dark Horse Comics
The big picture: The Bad Batch: Ghost Agents manages to cap off an incredibly fun little run. I’ve had a blast following the crew through the last 5 issues. There are so many stories that could be told, since we really don’t know what they are up to for the majority of the Clone Wars. So, I hope this isn’t the last we see of them from Dark Horse Comics. As a whole, Ghost Agents is an incredibly fun adventure. The series will be out in trade in November 2025. I highly recommend picking it up for any younger Star Wars readers you have in your life. They will be sure to love it.
Our rating: Incredible
What’s next: Even though Ghost Agents has come to a close, Prequels fans should be on the look out for Jedi Kit Fisto in Hyperspace Stories: Tides of Terror when it launches later this month.
