One of the most famous villains in STAR WARS lore stars in epic tales illustrated in stark black and white — and his own iconic red! When a prison ship — transporting a cult known as the Final Occultation — goes offline, Darth Maul is sent by Palpatine to investigate. What he finds on board is the stuff of nightmares! On another mission to singlehandedly conquer a mining colony, unexpected opposition leads him into an intense battle of life and death — and Maul learns one of his most valuable lessons! He may be fiercely loyal to his master and a true believer in the Sith, but will a journey to a remote moon change his mind? And why has Palpatine sent his apprentice to an ancient world? And who will pay the price…for patience?
