    Dripping with Star Wars lore, this mini-series is not going to be one for Star Wars fans to pass up. Especially since it directly preludes the new animated Disney+ series. With that said, this mini-series provides you with back story details that you may not understand if you have already started the Disney+ show. But do not let that sway you, this is a great start to a great collaboration between comics and television! Read Full Review

    Star Wars: Shadow of Maul #2 ramps up the tension, gives more insight into Brander Lawson's motivations and further explores the seedy world of Janix, all with a crime noir twist. The script is taut and the art remains stunning. Read Full Review

    Benjamin Percy pens a great follow-up issue that is also a great companion piece to the episodes that released this week. If you’re a Star Wars fan or interested in Darth Maul, this is a series you cannot pass up on! Read Full Review

    Comic Book Clique - Frank Jarome

    Lawless Star Wars: Shadow of Maul #2 is a good crime story with all the trappings - a stoic cop forced to work outside a corrupt system, the crime boss that thinks he's above the law, and a much greater threat quietly looming - that just happens to be set in the Star Wars universe. Right now the "A" plot of Lawson and his quest to bring down Deemis are completely separate from the "B" plot of Darth Maul's arrival on Janix, but I'm sure the two plotlines will intersect before the end of this miniseries. It's not really brining anything all that di Read Full Review
