I enjoyed this graphic novella. I don't know if this is different than the cannon before the Disney movies, but it's a great story. This is about Darth Maul's first kill. It fits in well with characters from the Clone Wars. The thing I regret about Solo bombing is that I was interested in how it would connect to the larger universe and Darth Maul had an appearance in that film I was curious about. I hope they finish the story in a comic or show. I do know that Maul comes back in the Clone Wars,

The book follows Darth Maul's adventures and the story of his first Jedi kill. The artwork is great, and the story is pretty decent which overall makes for quite an enjoyable read.

Ive always been interested in Darth Maul and the confilct that must be within him. A simple story where he goes on a search for a padawan. Not alot of depth to the plot, pretty simple story. However the art does have its moments.

It's beautiful to see how a great character like Maul is still being used in new stories. His hatred alone carries him forward and his arrogance at being the best is yet to be tested. In the days before Episode I, Darth Maul is restless. The battle with two dangerous tentacled creatures doesn't quench his thirst to face the hated Jedi.Several oher characters from the extended universe are used here and they're all villains, profiteering mercenaries or members of crime syndicates that don't shy a...

Star Wars: Darth Maul is the most recent miniseries added to the comic book canon set up by Marvel for the star wars universe. Written by Cullen Bunn, it is exploring what is new territory for the canon star wars universe: while legends has a vast archive of stories taking place in the Old Republic Era, the canon version of the time period is so far largely unexplored. While a couple of episodes from Star Wars Rebels, several episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the Dr. Aphra comic, and the jo...

Darth Maul’s first blood! This Marvel Comics TPB edition collects “Star Wars: Darth Maul” #1-5.This comic book miniseries is set before of the events of “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace”.Creative Team:Writer: Cullen BunnIllustrator: Luke Ross MAUL’S SECRET MISSION Darth Maul has been the secret apprentice of Darth Sidious, since he was a little kid……and now that he’s a young adult, he still in secret……due Darth Sidious’ plans take a lot of time to be developed……and Darth Maul is s

"Peace is a lie, there is only passion.Through passion, I gain strength.Through strength, I gain power.Through power, I gain victory.Through victory, my chains are broken.The Force shall free me." The Code of the SithThe Sith Code came to mind as I read this book about Darth Maul, apprentice to Darth Sidious (the future Emperor Palpatine). How does a master with a creed like that get his apprentice to restrain his passions enough for the centuries of Sith designs to finally be realized --- which...

Darth Maul hates the Jedi.He really, really hates them. There would be nothing more to his liking than to run every Jedi through with his dual-bladed crimson lightsaber. His entire existence is based on ensuring their destruction, as all his life he has been trained to kill them. Maul's Sith master, Darth Sidious, (aka Chancellor Palpatine) cautions his over-eager pupil that now is not yet the time to reveal themselves. He sends Maul on a mission, teaming him up with bounty hunters, Cad Bane and...

Kind of dull. This story is mostly Darth Maul and his internal monologue describing his rage and how he must kill Jedi and, while on his clandestine mission behind Palpatine’s back, saying repeatedly Palpatine can’t know that Maul’s been disobedient. Or Mauly will be in trou-ble! ......There’s no tension in this story or its outcome with its (whoa!) big revelation that Darth Maul’s filled with rage.

I do like Darth Maul – something that's down to equal parts childhood nostalgia and impeccable good taste. He (along with podracing) is the best thing to have come out of The Phantom Menace, but for all his prominence in the marketing of that film way back when he was barely explored as a character; he was a purpose-built killing machine. There've been a few attempts to flesh him out since and this is the most successful I've come across. He has a certain wounded nobility, a victim complex that

As with almost all Star Wars graphic novels, Darth Maul is entirely unnecessary and inconsequential. But it's not as obnoxious as most of Marvel's new-canon books have been, and the art is appealing.The story takes place sometime before The Phantom Menace, and the problem is that it doesn't convey anything new about Maul, Palpatine, or the Sith in general. What you learn from this story is that Maul is an angry young fellow who longs to kill as many Jedi as possible. That's not very new. One doe...

This was a fun graphic novel - the first of the new Disney canon that doesn't seem to be ashamed to incorporate fun elements from the prequels, from droidekas and Neimoidians to Aurra Sing and of course Darth Maul himself, as well as elements from The Force Awakens. Maul taking on a couple of rathtars seems entirely in character.Of course, there are plenty of cameos from the Clone Wars CG TV show too - Cad Bane plays a significant part in the story, and there are a couple of glimpses of Hondo Oh...

I’ll say this for Cullen Bunn’s “Darth Maul” miniseries: it’s decent. At a quick 5 issues, there are enough moments in each individual chapter that are sufficiently cool, intriguing, or fun enough to make the series worth a read. If you’re like me, though, and struggle to find the character of Darth Maul all that interesting…well, suffice to say, this probably won’t be ranking anywhere near the top of your favorite Star Wars comics.This is one of those series where the artwork is far and away th...

I've always found Maul to be an interesting character, so I quite enjoyed this. Solid 3.5 stars.

This story takes place before The Phantom Menace, and sees Maul impatient to start killing Jedi. So he goes against the Emperor's orders and makes some messes as tracks down a kidnapped Padawan that he can kill. It's not the strongest story, but it does have some good action in it, even if it barely makes use of Aurra Sing (although it makes slightly better use of Cad Bane). Maul puts off the barely-restrained animus that characterizes him throughout this story, although he makes some strange de...

Darth Maul hunting crime lords and Jedi padawans, what's not to like, this is is probably the best thing I've read from Cullen Bunn, I really liked the character's internal monologue, something that is usually overdone in comic books, but works really well with a stoic character like Maul. I also dug the new padawan, Eldra Kaitis, pretty badass, and the inclusion of Cad Bane and his gang, who were pretty rad in the Clone Wars, I'm always happy to get more of them, but the biggest selling point o...

I also read this as single issues.This miniseries started out pretty slow, but it worked it's way up to a really good ending. Maul is one of my favorite Sith characters, so I may be a little biased. I really like how this shows the anger than Maul is fueled by, and how he... is influenced by it, I guess you could say.Over all, I think this really proves to me that the new canon comics are better and more interesting to me than most of the new canon book.

This collection takes place before The Phantom Menace. In this one, Darth Maul wants to test his power of the force against a Jedi. His master forbids this as it would reveal the Sith still exist. Darth Maul discovers a captured padawan and realizes if he gets to her this could be the opportunity to battle a Jedi.I really enjoyed this collection. I thought the author nailed the voice of Darth Maul as we get him being a student to Darth Sidious but also as a caged beast waiting to strike. This is...

This was the epitome of OK-ness.**Calm down, Maul, I have some nice things to say, too!**If you wanted to read this to learn something new about Episode I's bifurcated baddie, keep looking. Maul is a rage-fuelled revenge machine, and he chafes under Darth Sidious' tutelage when all he really, really, REALLY wants to do is kill some Jedi.How do we know this? Because he himself (through some clunky first-person monologuing) tells us so, again and again- it's like the editorial staff couldn't trust...

I've always wanted to know more about the quiet and deadly looking Sith from Episode 1 and this new cannon graphic novel provides some nice background into the character without reverting to the all-too-easy troupe of being an 'origin story'. In Star Wars: Darth Maul, the familiar Sith master-apprentice tension common in the Darth Vader / Palpatine dynamic is again factored into Maul's story, with Palpatine a dangerous and intense presence which casts a shadow over Maul's every action. As far as...
