Darth Maul — Son of Dathomir 1

Darth Maul — Son of Dathomir 1 is the first issue of the canon comic miniseries Star Wars: Darth Maul — Son of Dathomir. Within its pages, the once-Sith Lord Darth Maul is held captive by his former master, Darth Sidious, after being captured on Mandalore. He is rescued by his Death Watch followers from the Spire on Stygeon Prime, before rendezvousing with more of his forces on Zanbar. He is pursued by General Grievous and the Separatist Droid Army, under orders to weaken Maul's base of power in the hopes that he seeks out Mother Talzin so she can be drawn into the open and destroyed by the Sith. The two forces engage in a battle on Zanbar and each side suffers heavy losses, forcing Maul to flee and make contact with the Dathomir witch.

Darth Maul — Son of Dathomir 1 was written by Jeremy Barlow and penciled by Juan Frigeri. It was adapted from "The Enemy of My Enemy," an episode that was scripted by Aïda Mashaka Croal and Matt Michnovetz for what would have been the sixth season of the television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, had the show not been cancelled. Because it is based on a script from the series, which was produced by George Lucas, it is part of the official Star Wars canon. The 24-page issue was published on May 21, 2014 by Dark Horse Comics. Six pages of the issue had previously been released on May 3 as part of Free Comic Book Day.
