Find out how this iconic Sith will reshape the Star Wars universe thanks to a new Marvel comic series.
A journey into the dark side of the galaxy awaits us this April with the release of “Star Wars: Darth Maul – Black, White and Red”. In this amazing four-issue series, Marvel Comics invites us to explore the life of the eponymous Sith Lord, Darth Maul, known for his pursuit of the Force and his loyalty to the Shadows.
Darth Maul: New Marvel Series
Known for his ruthless nature and unwavering loyalty to his dark master, Palpatine, this series promises never-before-seen missions and a deep dive into Maul’s dark ties to the Emperor. Each issue of this anthology tells an independent story, revealing the unknown aspects of this complex character.
The first episode, written by Benjamin Percy (Wolverine, Ghost Rider) and drawn by Stefano Raffaele (Moon Knight: Black, White and Blood), takes us into Maul’s personal battle with a newly discovered Sith enemy. “The Last Occultation” puts us on board a prison ship, transporting a secret group called the Last Occultation that inadvertently stops activity. Sent by Palpatine, Maul finds himself face to face with a dark and disturbing threat.
The journey of Darth Maul
The first issue will go on sale starting Wednesday, April 25, hoping to make a unique journey in this limited series that continues Marvel’s tradition of “black, white and blood” titles. This new title is presented as a spiritual successor to last year’s “Star Wars – Darth Vader: Black, White and Red”, but with a twist: while the previous installments featured several short stories, each episode of this Maul series is focused on. A complete narrative.
“The silent killer has a busy inner world,” says Percy. He is not simply Palpatine’s puppet, but a character capable of making decisions that can change the face of the galaxy. This story, in the words of editor Mark Panicchia, is full of horrors never before seen in Star Wars stories.

After the success of “DARTH VADER: BLACK, WHITE & RED,” fans were clamoring for a Maul-centric sequel. This new Marvel comic format promises to not only immerse us in the Star Wars universe, but also give us a unique and exciting look at the character of Darth Maul.

Each issue of the series promises to be an important part in better understanding the enigmatic Sith and his role in the wider Star Wars cosmos.
