Publisher's summary[]

Bred on hate, fear, and anger…steeped in the ways of darkness…and trained to kill. Darth Maul's time as apprentice to Darth Sidious has long been cloaked in shadows, but at last we will reveal his tale of revenge. From writer Cullen Bunn (DEADPOOL KILLS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE, WOLVERINE) and artist Luke Ross (STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS, HERCULES) comes a tale of rage unleashed as Darth Maul prepares for his first encounter with the Jedi.

Plot summary[]

DARTH MAUL
Book I, Part I

In the shadows, an ancient enemy stirs. The Sith
— practitioners of the dark side of the Force long
thought destroyed — secretly work to undermine
and eventually overthrow the Jedi Order, the
guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy.

Two members of the Sith order — Darth Sidious
and his apprentice Darth Maul — secretly await
their moment to strike. But while Sidious plans
an intricate series of deceptions and
machinations, Maul grows restless.

The moment of revenge is close at hand, and he is
unwilling to wait much longer....
