Hell hath no fury like a Sith Lord period, much less one that is pissed off. Issue #3 of the Death Sentence series picks up with Maul training the locals how to be an army to take control of their planet. What they don’t know is Maul could care less if any of them survived as long as he reaches his goal. What is that goal? To free his brother Savage Opress and to kill the ones who stands in his way.
Elsewhere on Moorjhone, the Jedi are trying to convince Ja’Boag to give up Opress to the council, but he refuses to give up his office decoration.(Confused? See issue #2), with that being said, the Jedi refuse to leave but they will distance themselves from Ja’Boag until “it” hits the fan.
The elders of the native tribe try to convince Maul that his actions are too demanding on the natives. The leader asks to be alone with Maul to see his true intentions, but the evil in Maul’s heart was too much for the old man to handle. Maul brings the leader to the people as he breathes his last breathe. This gives Maul the advantage because now, the locals have more to fight for.
Before daybreak, the locals attack the army that Ja’Boag has brought to Moorjhone and they are getting through the defenses. As it appears that the locals have won the battle, they spot Republic transport ships landing on the horizon. They are ordered to stand down, but Maul refuses General Kenobi’s request. He throws a spear at a trooper which hits its mark and causes the troopers to open fire. What will happen next? We will have to wait until issue #4 to hit stores on October 31st.
Tom Taylor is the man! His writing for this series has been phenomenal! I give Darth Maul: Death Sentence #3 a rating of 13 out of 10. It is truly amazing and the artwork is out of this world! Well done Dark Horse, well done indeed.
