Darth Maul, lethal apprentice to and enforcer for the heinous
Darth Sidious, embarks upon a quest to cause chaos throughout
the galaxy and reek vengeance upon the Jedi Order...
Set
before the events of Star Wars: Episode One - The Phantom
Menace this graphic novel takes a look at how skilled
and deadly Darth Maul really is.
He
starts by infiltrating an underground crime syndicate called
Dark Sun whose collection of thugs are seriously threatening
to unbalance Darth Sidious' plans to overthrow the Republic.
The
artwork is of exceptional quality while the story is extremely
engaging. Maul came across as a bit of a softy in the movie.
Sure he was evil, but he had only just been introduced before
he was sliced in two. Here we get to see what a hardened work
of art he really is. He kills aliens without a second thought,
slicing them in two with his trusty lightsabre and double
crosses those who though him an equal.
This
is one of the most enjoyable graphic novels I have read for
a long time. If you want to relax with a good piece of eye
candy then this is the book for you.
