Customer Reviews

At last we shall have REVENGE!!!!
Despite being criminally under-used in the Phantom Menace, I still think Darth Maul is one of the best Star Wars characters ever!!!!
Now finally we get to see a little bit of his life before the film. The book shows some important events in Maul's life... his final training, a gift from Darth Sidious (The Sith Infiltrator) and his first mission, to infiltrate the Black Sun.
The book is short, with Maul as he is in the movie (quiet, not much to say) but its the action sequences that are the most impressive, as he leaps into action to complete an important mission for his master.
There are some smart bonusses in this book too, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan make brief cameos, as does Sidious. But the thing which makes this stand out over many graphic novels I've read is the artwork, they really capture Maul's appearance fantastically, making it easily the best of any Star Wars graphic novel out there!!!!

A great graphic novel!
Before he moves the Trade Federation against Naboo, Darth Sidius decides that there is a potential interference that must be dealt with in advance, the crime syndicate known as Black Sun. And so, the Sith Lord dispatches Darth Maul to kill the leaders of Black Sun. With the inevitability of death itself, Darth Maul descends on Black Sun.

Wow, what a great graphic novel! My son bought this book without me knowing, and boy am I glad that he did. It is non-stop action, with evil versus evil, and no quarter given or taken. There are many fascinating villains in this book, and even though there is not too much of a storyline, the level of action and the colorful baddies more than make up for that. Plus, I must mention that throughout the whole book, the illustrations are nothing short of excellent.

My son is something of a Darth Maul fan, and this book is definitely the kind of book he wanted to see. He enjoyed it, reading it twice before he allowed his loving father to even touch it! He recommends it to you, and so do I!

Darth Maul's adventures before Episode 1
This TPB contains the 4 issue limited series starring Darth Maul!!!

It takes place a short while before the events in
the Phantom Menace, and shows Maul's infiltration into Black Sun.
Of course his plans are very different than Black
Sun thinks.....

This book is drawn by Jan Duursema (she also drew x-factor for a while) and are simply astonishing!!!

The book contains a lot of actions sequences, so
you probably will read through it very fast,
but the tale never dissapoints!!!

I can really Recommend it!!
