In an expansion of Marvel’s successful Black, White & Blood line, the galaxy far, far away is about to witness the violent exploits of another deadly Sith in “STAR WARS: DARTH MAUL – BLACK, WHITE & RED.” Following the success of last year’s “Star Wars: Darth Vader – Black, White & Red,” this upcoming four-part series promises to captivate fans with standalone blockbusters delivered by a rotating superstar creative team.
Scheduled to hit stands in April, the series kicks off with the talented writer Benjamin Percy, known for crafting high-stakes thrills in titles like Wolverine and Ghost Rider. Paired with Stefano Raffaele, whose previous works include blood-soaked horror in the series “Moon Knight: Black, White & Blood” and “Darth Vader: Black, White & Red,” the new installment is set to bring fresh perspectives to the iconic character of Darth Maul.
Darth Maul, who first appeared 25 years ago in “Star Wars: The Phantom Menace,” left an indelible mark on fans with his captivating presence, unique lightsaber, and dueling skills. The new series promises to delve into Maul’s mysterious history, exploring never-before-seen missions and shedding light on his twisted bond with his dark master, Palpatine.
The inaugural story in the series revolves around Maul initiating a one-man war against a newly discovered adversary for the Sith. Sent by Palpatine to investigate an offline prison ship transporting a mysterious group known as the Final Occultation, Maul uncovers nightmarish threats that pose a dark and unstable danger to the galaxy. It becomes his responsibility to thwart this profound threat and prevent chaos from engulfing the entire galaxy.

“The silent assassin has a busy inner world. 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,’” shared writer Benjamin Percy.
Editor Mark Paniccia expressed excitement about the upcoming series, citing the success of “Darth Vader: Black, White & Red” and the overwhelming fan demand for a Darth Maul feature in the unique Black, White & Blood comic format. He noted that Ben and Stefano’s story is filled with horrors previously unseen in a Star Wars tale.
