Introduced in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Darth Maul, was a powerful villain trained as Darth Sidious’s first apprentice. He was ordered by Darth Sidious, the Master of the Dark Side of the Force, to capture Queen Padmé Amidala… and destroy the Jedi!

Dark Horse Comics continues to take us deeper into the Darth Maul mythos with the Star Wars: Darth Maul – Death Sentence mini-series. Fearsome Sith Lord Darth Maul, rescued and restored after surviving his confrontation with Obi-Wan Kenobi in The Phantom Menace, wreaks havoc through the galaxy with his brother Savage Opress!

Now… a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… Star Wars: Darth Maul – Death Sentence. Over a decade ago, the galaxy believed Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi had slain him, but Darth Maul still lives. Though Maul was horribly maimed in his battle with Kenobi, his unquenchable rage allowed him to survive, even as he was driven half mad by pain and fury. Rescued from his animal existence on the garbage planet Lotho Minor by his brother Savage Opress, Maul was taken to his homeworld of Dathomir, where Mother Talzin healed his broken mind and provided him with cybernetic legs. Now the brothers are carving a trail of mayhem across the Outer Rim – in search of the wealth they need to establish their own army. But their activities have attracted the attention of the Jedi Council, and others…

Story/Spoilers
In issue #1, By now the galaxy has learned the terrible truth: Sith Lord Darth Maul still lives. Worse, he has joined forces with his brother Savage Opress! The Jedi are searching for them and, after Maul and Opress cut a murderous swath through the Outer Rim, so is an army of mercenaries hired by a wealthy mine owner. Darth Maul has a price on his head, and for him there is only one way to deal with such a problem: go directly to the source.

Next in issue #2, It’s a perfect storm of mayhem as brothers Darth Maul and Savage Opress collide with an army of mercenaries, augmented by a team of visiting Jedi! The only thing that can make Darth Maul angrier than he is about the price on his head is having his brother captured by the man who put it there. If you thought two Sith were dangerous, wait until you see Darth Maul on his own!

Next in issue #3, While an injured Darth Maul recuperates from his recent battle with a team of Jedi, he plots his revenge—and the rescue of his brother Savage Opress (now in Jedi custody). But it isn’t simply the Jedi that Maul must face; it’s a powerful mining magnate with forces of his own! Luckily for Maul, the mine owner has made a career out of exploiting the local work force, and the natives are… revolting!

Finally, in issue #4, As more Jedi—Obi-Wan included!—and clone trooper reinforcements arrive to take Savage Opress and the crooked mine owner into custody, Darth Maul convinces the locals that the Jedi are in league with the mine owner who exploited them. If the Jedi fight the natives, they’ll be killing innocents. If they don’t, they’ll be killed themselves! It’s the perfect distraction for Maul to find and release his brother!
