Plot Summary (Spoiler-Light)
The story continues the adventure where Clone Force 99 (Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, Echo, and Crosshair, plus Omega in related arcs) hunts a missing Separatist scientist and his dangerous doomsday device. In this issue, the race intensifies as their adversary takes the lead. The Batch turns to an old contact for help, leading to underworld dealings, a shootout, and encounters with pirates and bounty hunters (including a familiar face like Aurra Sing in the broader arc). It explores themes of purpose beyond war, with some foreshadowing to the animated series’ tones.
This miniseries picks up the team that delivered the well-received Ghost Agents, bringing back the same creative crew for high-stakes action, character moments, and all-ages appeal.
