Maul, Sidious, Grievous, Dooku, and Mother Talzin all in one? Very nice.

Pretty good. Deepens Maul’s s character a bit more with some backstory.

It was fine. Cool to have another arc of Clone Wars, kind of. Read this so that I would have context when listening to A More Civilized Age

Another solid work in the Star Wars universe. Its an adaptation of excess story lines from the Clone Wars so it was always going to be good quality (mainly because of Filoni doing what he does best) but this exceeded my expectations - especially compared to Bunn's Darth Maul comic series.
The storyline is great, the writing is alright, and the illustrations look good also. But what this does best is fill in on some more lore during the clone wars surrounding Maul, the Nightsisters, and the Sith. It really further fleshes out Maul's rivalry with Palpatine after the death of Osage. My only complaint is they didnt quite capture Maul's fear of Palpatine, which they did so perfevtly in the Clone Wars TV series.
Overall great read for Star Wars prequel era fans and decent for other Star Wars lovers

For what it was, it was alright. I get that with the prequels try to fill in the gaps and give more backstory to underused and new characters. With Maul, we didn’t know much about him before Episode 1. Honestly, we still don’t. This was a decent attempt at bringing in some backstory and showcase one of the most misused characters in the Star Wars universe.

Darth Maul is such a dynamic character, much more than we knew and saw from Episode 1. This addition to his folklore cements how much anger and resentment he truly has for Darth Sidious.
This story left me wanting more. I wanted to see how much more destruction Maul could cause, chaos he could stir.

I think we knew that Maul was a Mother’s boy, but it’s nice to have the confirmation.
