If you are like me, you are a Darth Maul fan.\u00a0 When he met his \u201cend\u201d at the end of Episode 1<\/em>, I was pissed.\u00a0 But then, I started thinking he never really died.\u00a0 And of course any fan of the Star Wars universe knows the writers felt the same way and kept him alive, at least until his end by the hands of Kenobi.\u00a0 That is another story for another time.<\/h4>\n

Death Sentence is a mini-series published by Dark Horse to follow the part of Maul\u2019s life we are not aware of.\u00a0 We know he survived the fall.\u00a0 We also know that it was his brother Savage Opress that saved him on brought him back home to Dathomir.\u00a0 It was on Dathomir that he was given cybernetic legs and his mind was healed by Mother Talzin.\u00a0 But what lease on life did Maul take after his \u201crebirth\u201d?<\/h4>\n

Darth Maul did what any sith would do.\u00a0 He killed and left a trail of mayhem in the distant galaxies.\u00a0 He did not do this alone, for his brother Savage Opress was with him.\u00a0 They focused on the Outer Rim to build an army of their own, but their actions have been getting attention, perhaps the kind they so desperately desire.<\/h4>\n

Issue #1 starts with a group of mercenaries trying to lay claim on the price that are on Maul and Opress\u2019s heads.\u00a0 But their fortunes were not they great for they were slaughtered like cattle. As the bounty hunters meet their end we are introduced to Master Salmara and Master Judd.\u00a0 They have been given the task of getting intel on the doings of the person responsible for the bounty on Maul and his brother.\u00a0 They are also asked to give Kenobi any info that they may discover dealing with Maul.<\/h4>\n

The story then follows the brother\u2019s attacks on the planet Moorjhone.\u00a0 You see, it is here where they will get their revenge on the being known as Ja\u2019boag.\u00a0 He is the one who has placed a price on the brother\u2019s heads.\u00a0 Once they defeat a small army, they are prepared to kill Ja\u2019boag when they are interrupted by Jedi.\u00a0 This makes Darth Maul very happy.\u00a0 It was as if, he wanted a fight.<\/h4>\n

That is how issue #1 ends my friends and I must say it is definitely a book you need to pick up right now.\u00a0 I cannot wait to see what happens in issue #2!\u00a0 The writing is phenomenal and art is fantastic!\u00a0 This book gets a 15 out of 10 rating.\u00a0 Well, what are you waiting for?\u00a0 Get your copy now!<\/h4>\n
