Synopsis:
This book collects together the following stories from the Darth
Maul comic book series published by Dark Horse Comics:
- Issue 1:
In hiding for generations, the Sith have waited for the
precise moment to reveal themselves to the galaxy. Hoping to
catch the Jedi unaware, Lord Sidious and his deadly apprentice,
Darth Maul, have planned and waited patiently for their moment
to pounce. Unfortunately, in the days before the Trade
Federation blockade of the planet Naboo, Lord Sidious becomes
aware of a threat to his plans. This threat comes from the
deadly galactic crime organization Black Sun. But Sidious
won't stand for any opposition, and Darth Maul is sent to deal
with Black Sun -- as only a master of the dark side can!
- Issue 2:
The criminal organization Black Sun is feared across the
galaxy. There is very little that their power and corruption do
not influence. But now the tables are turned as the scheming
Sith Lord, Darth Sidious, has sent his merciless enforcer, Darth
Maul, to make sure that Black Sun stays out of his affairs.
Gaining entrance to Black Sun, Maul works his way to the inner
sanctum of the organization -- and that's when the destruction
begins!
- Issue 3:
The ultimate enforcer, Darth Maul, continues his single-handed
decimation of the ranks of the galactic crime syndicate Black
Sun. As lieutenant after lieutenant falls under the swift blade
of Maul's cold wrath, Black Sun pulls itself together to discuss
how to deal with this new theat. Aware of Black Sun's plan, Maul
shows up at Black Sun headquarters just as the in-fighting
starts, and all hell breaks loose -- Maul-style!
- Issue 4:
With Sith Lord Darth Sidious' master plan for the overthrow of
the Republic in jeopardy, Sidious' apprentice and enforcer Darth
Maul has cut his way through the ranks of the galactic crime
syndicate Black Sun, and now there is only one barrier left
between Maul and Black Sun's total destruction. Maul must go
toe-to-toe with the personal bodyguards of Black Sun's top
lieutenants before he can reach the pinnacle of their
organization!
