Darth Maul initially struck a chord with Star Wars fans because he was the coolest-looking villain in a galaxy far, far away. There wasn't much depth to Darth Sidious' first apprentice, but darned if he didn't leave an impression with his iconic tattoos and double-bladed lightsaber. It was only when Maul was brought back for The Clone Wars that the character gained real depth and pathos. There's a lot of unexplored ground still to cover with the character, which is why it's disappointing that Marvel's Darth Maul mini-series is shaping u to be such a straightforward, generic take on the Sith Lord.
If Marvel aims to shed more light on Maul's hidden years, the obvious choices would be to A) focus on his childhood and ties to the Nightbrothers, B) explore how he survived his near-death encounter with Obi-Wan in Episode I or C) bridge the gap between The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. This series chooses a fourth option, focusing instead on the period leading up to Episode I. The book cats Maul as a fully trained killer who's growing increasingly impatient waiting for Palpatine's plans to move forward. So when the opportunity arises to test his mettle against actual Jedi, Maul leaps into action.
