This is a pretty straightforward story that's well-executed with good artwork that captures the intent well.

There's a nice touch of lightness in some of the dialogue and a bit of gallows humor as well but it fits the tale. Maul himself is less a character and more just a force of events and it makes me wish that we had some post-Clone Wars stories being told for the character where there's a lot more nuance to work with and story material with his takeover of various Syndicates and the like. This is pretty basic – nicely done basic – but nothing that will be too memorable in the long run. It's great in the moment and the red execution works well throughout. Read Full Review
