The issues collected under the title “Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Graphic Novels)” need a lot of cleanup. In fact, most of these books listed here are actually their own Original Graphic Novel and the books themselves have no numbers. Further, only “Shipyards of Doom” and “Crash Course” actually have variants. All of the numbering is incorrect as none of the books have actual numbers (however the three reprint books of the Clone Wars comic are ordered).
The issues, “Slaves of the Republic”, “In Service of the Republic”, and “Hero of the Confederacy” are reprints of books published originally in “Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008)” from Dark Horse and should be moved into their own title regardless.
#1 and #1B are variants of the same book. #1A is an altogether different story.
#2B and #2A are altogether different stories.
#3A and #3B are altogether different stories.
The book listed as #2B “Crash Course” exists with a rare “Not For Resale” variant that is missing from the database and should be added. Back covers of this title are shown below.
