Marvel continues to use the combination of black, white, and red in creative ways in Star Wars: Darth Maul – Black, White & Red.
The popular anthology format turns the black, white, and red spotlight on the Star Wars villain in April, starting with a story by Benjamin Percy and Stefano Raffaele.
The four-issue series (featuring the second Star Wars character to receive this particular coat of paint after Darth Vader) explores different aspects of the Dathomirian Sith Lord with never-before-seen missions and further connections to his mentor Emperor Palpatine.
Unlike previous Black, White & Red series, Maul’s will feature stand-alone one-shot stories, rather than a number of shorter stories or installments per issue.
Marvel’s Black, White, & Blood line (no blood in the Star Wars universe) previously featured anthologies focusing on Wolverine, Deadpool, Moon Knight, Carnage, and Elektra.
Every Black, White, & Blood (Red) series so far have been collected as Treasury-sized comics (which the first generation of “Star Wars kids” remember very fondly), so here’s hoping that the trend continues with Maul’s series.
Look for the first single issue in your favorite comic shop on April 25 and check out the cover by Alex Maleev below.
