Rated T
Twists and turns in the story that mirror this Sith's dark soul. The visuals are equally strong, with vivid characters in outstanding settings. This is the Sith you've been looking for. Read Full Review
The Darth Maul miniseries is proving to be among the best in Marvel's Star Wars range. Read Full Review
This issue works the auction side well with the plan B going into effect to gain the Padawan while also showing that Maul's team is becoming increasingly wary of their own fate in all of this. That's not too much of a threat considering what fans know but it's a fun read and way to get into their mindset all while getting some really solid artwork from Luke Ross that tickles a particular space opera fetish of mine in showing some creative locales and aliens. Good stuff and better than I expected it to be. Read Full Review
While not as thrilling as the last issue, Darth Maul #3 does manage to weave one heck of a great set up for the next chapter. Read Full Review
An interesting study of Darth Maul, mixing him up with a cadre of villains and a single heroine. Read Full Review
The book's art is still a high point " Luke Ross gets more out of a steely glare than Bunn does in panels of exposition " but it's still not enough to carry this tale. Read Full Review
I'm really enjoying Cad Bane and Aurra Sing's presence in this comic, it is nice to see their perspectives in addition to Maul's. I like the design of Eldra Kaitis and I'm looking forward to seeing more of her. I like all the cameos at the auction, like Hondo and Grakkus.
This issue appears to mostly just transition into a storyline that should be great. The interactions between Darth Maul and this Jedi were really interesting but I wish that they would give some depth into his complete hatred of the Jedi instead of just having him hate them because he was told to.
