Star Wars: Darth Maul – Death Sentence #1 – 2012, published by Dark Horse Comics, delivers a dark and intense beginning to a four-part miniseries that explores the re-emergence of one of the galaxy’s most formidable Sith warriors. Written by Tom Taylor, with art by Bruno Redondo, this issue picks up in the aftermath of Darth Maul’s return—brutal, vengeful, and burning with purpose.

Having survived his presumed death at the hands of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Maul has allied himself with his brother Savage Opress, and together they carve a violent path through the galaxy. With a bounty placed on their heads by a corrupt mining planet’s government, the duo faces off against a squad of Jedi determined to stop their slaughter.

This issue sets the tone with raw aggression and an undercurrent of psychological unrest. Tom Taylor crafts a script that digs into Maul’s fractured psyche, highlighting his rage, pain, and obsession with vengeance. At the same time, the action is fast-paced and cinematic—every lightsaber clash charged with weight and fury.

Bruno Redondo’s illustrations bring the chaos to life with dynamic layouts and bold, expressive figures. His version of Maul is both physically imposing and emotionally unstable, a constant threat on every page. The energy of the combat sequences is matched by a visual sense of menace in quieter scenes, making this a visually driven issue that complements its thematic depth.

This premiere issue is an essential piece for fans of Darth Maul and the darker side of the Star Wars saga. It also offers a compelling blend of action and character study that stands on its own, even for readers unfamiliar with the broader Clone Wars arc.

Each comic is meticulously preserved—safely enclosed in a crystal-clear, acid-free sleeve with a firm backing board to protect corners and edges. It is then securely packed in a durable, fold-over book mailer that shields it during shipping. Swift UK delivery and collector-grade packaging come as standard.

Star Wars: Darth Maul – Death Sentence #1 – 2012 is a fierce and gripping start to Maul’s rampage across the galaxy, packed with explosive action and psychological depth.
