One of my favourite characters from the prequel trilogy is coming to the comic medium in the pages of Marvel’s Darth Maul series! Written by Cullen Bunn (Deadpool, Magneto, Sinestro) and drawn by Luke Ross, this title will probably examine the time before Episode 1 where Darth Maul and Darth Sidious are plotting against the Jedi.
One of my long-living memories of seeing Maul in The Phantom Menace is his snarling face when facing Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui Gon Jinn on Naboo, incidentally this face is the subject of one of the variant covers coming out with the first issue along with a few other variant covers.
Maul has had a lot more exposure recently as well through the hit show Star Wars Rebels in which it is revealed that his fate at the end of Episode 1 may not have been so final after all. He is a sinister, evil character that feeds on hatred and through seeing him along with Palpatine in Episode 1 I often wondered about that got the two of them to that peak where they could finally reveal themselves to the Jedi.
Darth Maul #1 is out February 1st.
