    The Comicbook Dispatch - StoryBabbler Apr 27, 2024

    Star Wars: Darth Maul Black, White & Red #1 delivers an exciting new story featuring everyone's favorite Dathomirian Zabrak. The story is pretty straightforward, but the fact that there's only one story here with a beginning, middle, and end helps it out a lot compared to stories in past Black, White and Red series. The story provides some solid new alien villains for Darth Maul to face who visually, and through their powers in the Force, evoke a bit of Aliens mixed with a bit of Lovecraftian horror for good measure. However, the star of the comic, Darth Maul, really gets to shine since he's well-written, he fits the Black, White and Red color style perfectly thanks to the artist, and he is honestly just cool in action. It's a solid comic book to read on its own, and hopefully the next issue keeps it up. Read Full Review

    While some of the more compelling figures in the galaxy far, far away evoke empathy for the tragedies they've endured, this first chapter in the miniseries reminds us that Maul is tortured by conflicts of his own making, as this story strikes the tricky balance of expanding on the complexities of the villain while also avoiding explicitly giving us their whole story.

    Star Wars: Darth Maul Black, White & Redis a wonderful addition to the world of Star Wars. The infamous villain has a lot to be explored and using only three colors to tell his story is a wonderful format to do so. Read Full Review
