"What a welcome!" and "Commandos"
Wow! You guys know how to make someone feel welcome! I suppose it shouldn't surprise me, SW fans are all great people! Thanks for being so warm!

Ok, time for some content...

I have become obsessed with clone commandos. I have always been more interested in the stories of clones like the micro series, Medstar 1 and 2, that sort of thing. I have battlefront 1, but when I played bf2, I was amazed at the story that was told along with it. A personal diary of one of the 501st as the galaxy's plans unfolded. What got me was how the story telling followed a real, "Hey, I'm just this clone, you know?"

So I finished the campaign and then I found Republic commando used at game stop. Perfect mix of game and clone day to day life in a war. I love that game. So naturally when the books came out by Karen Traviss, I bought them, and of course love them. (I have to wait for Order 66 ah!!!) Her experience in covering real military personnel makes the books read like it was a history almost. She brings a strong fictional realism.

The last discovery I made about clone commandos was when I was action figure hunting and I spied (and snagged) the commando/super battle droid comic pack. I did not know that there were comics that spent a lot of the story with commandos. (I don't follow star wars comics because there are too many. If I started, I wouldn't stop, and I have kids to feed!) So now I am hunting for any and all comics that feature commando story lines. Wookieepedia has been a great help referencing commando appearances in comics. I just hope that I can keep a sense of control and just buy the ones I need!

So who has read comics with commandos and which ones do you like more than others?
