Darth Maul #1


printSizeImage

Star Wars: Darth Maul, Issue #1 is a title that I'm excited about.  It's the story of Darth Maul's time with Darth Sidious as a Dark Lord of the Sith.  Written by Cullen Bunn (Deathpool Kills the Marvel Universe), with art by Luke Ross (Star Wars: The Force Awakens), it tells a little-known story.  It begins with Darth Maul hunting a rathnar, the creature Han Solo and Chewbacca were smuggling in the seventh installment of the Star Wars series, and Darth Maul is doing so with only a bladed weapon.

There's a nice little story which I won't reveal in this review.  I do post some of the story, but I don't post complete stories except on rare occasions.  I generally like what I read - comic quality is much higher than it was 10 or 20 years ago with a few exceptions - but this is one of the good ones.  You should be reading this if you're a Star Wars fan, either in comic-book or trade-paperback form.  Although I wasn't a huge fan of The Force Awakens and Rogue One (the movies), I do love the various comics and novels out there, particularly the works of Chuck Wendig, Charles Soule, and Jason Aaron.  I hope this title will be one of the best.
