After showcasing Darth Vader last year with the galaxy far, far away’s first offering from Marvel’s hit Black, White & Blood line, the publisher has announced the upcoming launch of the new anthology miniseries Star Wars: Darth Maul – Black, White & Red.
The four-issue series will adopt an anthology format, with each issue featuring a different creative team beginning with writer Benjamin Percy (Wolverine) and artist Stefano Raffaele (Star Wars: Darth Vader – Black, White & Red) who team for a tale that promises to see Maul initiate a one-man war against a newly discovered adversary for the Sith.
“Darth Vader: Black, White & Red was a huge success for us and fans went wild for it,” said Editor Mark Paniccia. “We immediately started getting requests to feature Darth Maul for our next journey into the unique Black, White & Blood comic format. Ben and Stefano serve a story filled with horrors you haven’t seen before in a Star Wars tale.”
“The silent assassin has a busy inner world,” added Benjamin Percy. “He is loyal to Palpatine, but that does not make him a puppet or a tool. He is willing to make his own decisions — ones that could shake the very fabric of the galaxy — as is the case in this chiller and thriller of a story, ‘The Final Occultation.’”
A prison ship – transporting a mysterious group known as the Final Occultation– goes offline, and Darth Maul is sent by Palpatine to investigate. What he finds on board is the stuff of nightmares!!! Now it’s up to him to stop this profoundly dark and unstable threat that wishes to bring chaos to the galaxy.
Star Wars: Darth Maul – Black, White & Red #1 will go sale in April 2024.
