As solid as Marvel's Star Wars lineup has been over the past two years, it's tough not to grow frustrated with the often conservative approach these books have taken. Darth Maul is the latest in a long line of solo series that do little to truly enrich the character in question or break new ground in a galaxy far, far away. There are many great stories worth telling with Darth Maul at the center, but this isn't one of them.
Issue #2 sees Maul continue his quest to make with the revenge-ing and kill an actual Jedi for a change. There's plenty of focus on Maul's anti-Jedi rage and annoyance at his master's calls for patience, but little on any other aspects of his character. The narrative captions do little to bring any new insight to a character who developed a surprising amount of nuance in his various animated appearances. I'd just as soon have them trimmed entirely, bringing the book more in line with Marvel's generally light, cinematic approach to the franchise. Only during a brief flashback sequence does this issue really break the mold and begin to delve into Maul's background and complicated psychology.
