In Looper’s unique first take a look at “Star Wars: Darth Maul – Black, White & Pink” #1, that includes artwork created solely with the titular colours to emphasise the story’s chaotic and bloody nature, Emperor Palpatine learns {that a} vessel containing enemies of the Sith has gone offline. Palpatine reveals a transmission displaying the ship is dealing with an assault from these it’s transporting (with maybe a refined homage to Obi-Wan Kenobi’s basic “as if tens of millions of voices out of the blue cried out in terror” line), and he compares their nightmarish assault to the legends of darkish magic. Palpatine enlists his most brutal weapon to fight the risk: Maul, who embarks on an “Occasion Horizon”-esque mission to reclaim a ship that has been taken over from inside.

As he prepares to land on the ship of horrors, Maul research up on who he is about to face and learns that his opponents are escaped prisoners generally known as the Last Occultation. The group is powered by forces from the Netherworld, the place within the Star Wars Universe the place souls go once they die. The cult’s mission is to destroy the Sith and take their energy for their very own. Arriving on the lethal scene, Maul is tasked with stopping the Trinity of Management— Heldi Cerebron, Vasik Aldritch, and an unknown alien — all characters new to Star Wars mythology. The preview units up a battle between the Darkish Facet and the darkish magical spirits with unknown upper-power limits. Primarily based on their undead appearances and Palpatine’s slight trepidation of their mysterious foes, Maul’s quest will probably considerably check his personal energy.
