Set in 20BBY
An ok read, Maul and Savage Opress on a mission, while Maul all is thinking about is revenge on Kenobi. A quick read after the finale of season 4, while Kenobi and Asajj escaped and then split.
Gets 2 stars because once again we get introduced to some unknown Jedi who nobody cares about, being told that he is great and strong with the force and all that and once again
A nice ending though, that shows Maul right after the Phantom Menace while Anakin and Palpatine have a talk.

A lot of these TCW comics aren't that significant - they tend to focus on characters we've never seen before with convoluted plots that aren't very engaging. But THIS one is such a stand-out from the rest.
This comic follows both Obi-Wan and Maul immediately after the events of Revenge, the finale of season 4. I liked seeing Obi-Wan and Ventress parting ways, and following Maul and Savage as they start to make their plans and really work together is cool. We also get to see Palpatine's reaction to hearing, for the first time, that Maul is alive, as well as actually seeing how Maul survived Naboo all those years ago.
There's a sort of interesting new Jedi who gets introduced in here, so that's something. And I liked the Maul and Savage plot where they found their own very creative way to fund their exploits.
Also, the last line of this comic (Maul saying "REVENGE") just ties everything up well lol. I really liked this one, and it fills up a very important gap in the TCW timeline.
4/5 stars.

Every Maul episode of The Clone Wars was so good and this could have been another fantastic two part arc. With cool new characters and more ruthless killing from Maul and his brother Savage. It is funny though that at one point Obi-Wan also calls Maul “Darth” like he does Vader in A New Hope. Silly guy acting like he doesn’t know that all “Darth” is just a Sith moniker. In my head this story is canon. Nothing in it contradicts Disney’s canon so I’m sticking with it.

This is the ninth in a line of graphic novellas that take place during The Clone Wars (coinciding with TV series of the same name). THE SITH HUNTERS follows a team of Jedi sent to hunt down the resurrected Darth Maul and his brother, who are wreaking havoc as they attempt to find and kill Obi-Wan Kenobi and anything that gets in their way.
Let's get one thing straight before I review this: resurrecting Darth Maul is stupid and lazy. It makes no sense at all and only serves to use an actually cool character for longer than the 30 minutes screen time he was given in Episode 1. If anything, he deserves a prequel comic about how he came to be molded into a Sith, not some weird half robot-half Sith thing. Ignoring that bias, it's still not a good comic. There is literally no where for them to go, they weren't going to kill off Darth Maul in this or maim him in any fashion because that is what the TV show was for. This is just a pure cash grab without much story at all (unless you count the backstory given for how Darth Maul is still alive, which you'll regret reading once you do because it's so dumb).

Great story with a lot of moments that tie-in or expand upon Clone Wars canon. The look on the chancellor's face when Anakin tells him of the rogue Sith Darth Maul is worth the price of admission alone.

This story takes place right after Star Wars Clone Wars - Season 4 [DVD]. I was disappointed about this story. Was thinking whether to give it 2 or 3 stars but I think it does set up some interesting things in the future. The artwork is cartoony like the Star Wars - Clone Wars: Volume 1 [DVD] early 2000 shorts, which at least had good stories and dramatic action. This one has neither. The action scenes are lame. Obi Wan Jedi master is taken out and nearly killed be a force choke (armature stuff). As for the Bruce Lee look-a-like Jedi, he was not just pointless but just plain stupid who deactivates their Lightsaber to strangle (physically not with the force) a Sith Lord?
The only good points are this are there is a backup story of how Darth Maul survived, and a certain Sith lord learns that his first apprentice might still be alive. They also tease a future meeting between Anakin and Maul. Another point of interest is the two brothers have different ideas about the Sith philosophies Savage is all about power and destruction and Maul is more about stealth. Also neither is will to trust the other about their former masters. I would only recommend getting this if you are a real fan of star wars continuity and must have everything star wars. There are a lot better Darth Maul books out there. If you do want a Post Season 4 Darth maul story go for Darth Maul Death Sentence, better art better story. If you want the story of Darth Maul's origin read Star Wars: The Wrath of Darth Maul.

Rather remarkably, this is the first volume in any of the Clone Wars comics that relies on prior knowledge of the associated TV show to make any sense at all. I am familiar with these characters and remember what happened to them in the broad strokes, so it's not like I had trouble figuring out what was going on. They remind you of the only potentially confusing thing (that Asajj is on Obi-Wan's side this time). The problem is that this doesn't feel like a real story at all. It's just wheel-spinning to connect two seasons of the show, filling a gap that either didn't need filling, or if it did, needed something more robust than this. The Jedi chase Maul and Savage a lot of places and keep barely missing them or fighting until they flee.

Just okay, not much they could have done with Maul as he needed to survive until the next Clone Wars season.
Worth checking out exclusively for the panels when Palpatine first learns Maul survives because he has a glorious WTF face (shame they hadn't used it in a Star Wars show instead)

A short and good comic, once again about Darth Maul. This one actually feels like a Clone Wars episode, which is great. Not exactly deep or game-changing, but I don't expect these comics (at least until Son of Dathomir) to be anything more than side-stories meant to enrich Maul's return. Nevertheless, I quite enjoyed it.
June 29, 2021
Not bad, not bad at all: the Nightbrothers are always a delight to look in on, and we finally get an answer to "how exactly did Maul survive on hatred alone after being bisected?" The art style here is above average for a Clone Wars comic, and this one feels much more essential to the narrative than most of the others.

A fun and destructive adventure that really ought to have been an episode of the show. I was pleased to finally see how Maul survived after his fall in Naboo.
EDIT: I'm reading these out of order because I had to go on an extensive hunt to find secondhand copies of the graphic novellas I was missing.

I was hoping for something more. I have nothing more to say.

This was actually pretty good.
I've always wanted to see how Maul escaped Naboo, so it was really cool to finally see that.

A pretty nifty little book, Maul and Opress causing havoc wherever they tread.

3 star story gets a 4th star because of Darth Maul!
December 1, 2024
The art was too cartoonish and basic and the story was also very basic and just recapped and didn't add much to what you'd already know if you watched the show. Still wasn't bad, still enjoyable.

Even Death Can’t Keep A Good Sith Down
For those of you who missed it, Darth Maul is back. Yes, most of us thought he was long gone from the galaxy far, far away, but one absolute truth in science fiction is that not even death can keep a good character down. Just like Obi-wan Kenobi reached out from the greater beyond in order to whisper the mantra “use the Force” to young Luke Skywalker as he raced his X-Wing fighter down the Death Star trench, why couldn’t one of the Sith transcend death? While some fans may find Maul’s resurrection a bit bizarre, I personally find it a stroke of genius mostly because it keeps with what little we know of them thus far: they cling to life in order to seek out power and control over others, and, with his ‘dying’ moments focusing his rage on a young Kenobi, Maul did just that. He survived death – in a macabre physical form – and, thankfully, he’s back in the Star Wars universe to wreck havoc at the side of his brother, Savage Opress.
(WARNING: the following review will contain minor spoilers for the sole purpose of discussing the plot. If you prefer your reviews spoiler-free, then skip to the last two paragraphs for a quick assessment. Otherwise … may the Force be with you and read on!)
With the help of the Night Sisters (see STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS television show for reference), Count Dooku’s fallen apprentice Savage Opress combed the worlds of the galaxy and found that his fallen brother – Darth Maul – has survived. How? Hate and rage are the Sith’s path, and only such powerful emotions could fuel the life force of a Dark Jedi sliced in half. Indeed, marshalling the forces of greed and envy can produce great benefits, as Maul has now been outfitted with a mechanical body in order to continue his pursuit of power. When Kenobi shares news of Maul’s resurrection with the Jedi Council, Mace Windu and Yoda realize that the Sith have grown potent once more, and they dispatch an entire team of Jedi and Clone Troopers to finally destroy the Sith brothers. Can they stop them before Maul and Opress secure the resources they need to wage their private little war against the Republic?
You’ll need to buy and read THE SITH HUNTERS for the answer to that question, but I’m comfortable admitting that HUNTERS gets kudos for bringing the dynamic new duo of villains to the galaxy. Granted, I would’ve liked a greater exploration of character here – so much of the STAR WARS mythology reduces the bad guys to merely power junkies – but this tale serves a simpler purpose: it puts this nefarious team back on the map. In fiction, villains have often been far more interesting than heroes. They often have far more layers, and they require far more nuance than heroes. I’m hoping that the Sith brothers will together enjoy a long, fruitful existence in the worlds that Dark Horse explore.
RECOMMENDED. More of a vignette than it is a story, THE SITH HUNTERS provides a great retelling of events established from THE CLONE WARS animated TV show that resurrected Darth Maul into the Star Wars galaxy, but little else. While it’s great to see Maul back and it’s great to see Opress chewing scenery with the best of ‘em, I’m hoping that Dark Horse can make greater use of the character who deserved more to do than he was given in his single theatrical outing (Maul). Might I suggest taking a trip out to your local comic book store to pick up STAR WARS: DARTH MAUL: DEATH SENTENCE? There’s only a first installment out to the miniseries yet, but it looks to be a greater exploration of where Maul’s headed in the adventures to come.
In the interests of fairness, I’m pleased to disclose that the fine folks at Dark Horse Comics provided me with a digital copy of STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS: THE SITH HUNTERS by request for the expressed purposes of completing this review.

Star Wars Legends Project #149
Background: The Sith Hunters was released in August 2012, the ninth in a series of 11 graphic novellas connected to The Clone Wars animated show. It was written by Henry Gilroy and Steven Melching and pencilled by Vicenç Villagrasa. Gilroy was head developer of The Clone Wars show through season 1 and has an extensive Star Wars bibliography. Melching was also a writer for both The Clone Wars and Rebels and collaborated with Gilroy on some other comics. This is Villagrasa's only Star Wars credit.
The Sith Hunters takes place between seasons 4 and 5 of The Clone Wars (20 years before the Battle of Yavin). The main characters is Darth Maul and Savage Opress, with major roles played by Obi-Wan and Plo Koon and minor appearances by Anakin, Palpatine, and several others.
Summary: Going to ground after their encounter with Obi-Wan and Asajj Ventress, Darth Maul and Savage Opress can't help but leave a trail of destruction wherever they go. Meanwhile, the Jedi Council dispatches a task force to hunt them down, but the combined might of the two Sith may be too much for even the Jedi to handle.
Review: This is the story I was expecting The Wrath of Darth Maul to be. It weaves a potential explanation for how he survived his battle with Obi-Wan back on Naboo with a series of clashes with the Jedi who are determined to see he doesn't get away again. But what's really good is that the action is driven by character development and by a larger ongoing story. That's far too rare in a lot of these one-off Clone Wars comics.
I didn't love the art style in this book, and particularly the coloring work. It was a bit bland and minimalist, but it gets the job done and conveys a lot with a little. The characters' faces are very expressive, which is great, for example, for the moment when Palpatine learns for the first time that Maul is still alive. The vignettes where we see Maul's escape from Naboo are particularly good.
I'm less of a fan of how the Jedi are depicted here, and of some of the Jedi characters. There's a throwaway Master named Jun-Fan, an expert in unarmed combat, who is particularly lame. And, just in general, the more Jedi are fighting Maul and Opress together, the weaker they have to be as individuals to keep the battle going. It's hard not to notice that these encounters look about the same, whether there is a single Jedi fighting them, or 2, or 6 . . . And we're just supposed to not notice this. If Obi-Wan can narrowly hold his own against the two of them for a bit, then Obi-Wan plus Plo Koon and several others should have Maul and Opress on the ropes. Maybe it's just that the team is bad at working together? There's a moment late in the story where Jun-Fan laughingly dodges a thrown saber, only to be horrified when it impales the Jedi behind him. Come on, guys. Let's get some coordination going.
Still, this is above average for this run, and a big step in the right direction for the kinds of stories that deserve to be told.

This centers around one of my favorite Sith, Darth Maul…though I will admit as a kid I liked him simply because he looked really cool and had a dual lightsaber. He’s one of the characters that are “killed” off and you are left with a sense of curiosity as to what their stories are, and like other character Darth Maul turns out to be very much alive. The Sith Hunters takes place after an episode of The Clone Wars show (Episode 22: Revenge) and helps fill in the gaps after the season finale. If you don’t really watch the show then they provide a brief summary in the beginning to explain a few details, but it’s probably best that you know some of the Clone Wars storyline before digging in.They also go into exactly how Maul survived and how he was reunited with his brother Savage. Darth Maul is still the awesome character that I originally saw in Phantom Menace, and he certainly doesn’t disappoint when it comes to getting things done the correct way. However this is very much what I would call “filler” and doesn’t feel all that necessary, though it does enhance your viewing experience and will certainly leave you wanting more. I enjoyed the extra glimpse into the show and the events that are skipped over, and I think anyone who enjoys the series will think so as well. The story is rather short and fast paced which leads me to believe that the new season will pick up shortly after the events in this book.
I would say this is a good continuation from the show and would be a fantastic read for those who keep up with it especially if you want to know more while you wait for the new season that airs in September.
I received this from Dark Horse and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Despite not having enjoyed most of the books in this series, I looked forward to The Sith Hunters because come on, Darth Maul is in it. And Darth Maul, besides Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi, was just about the coolest thing in Episode I. So I figured the story takes place before Episode I. Nope. Wrong. It takes place between seasons 4 and 5 of the animated Clone Wars series on Cartoon Network that I don’t watch because I can’t stand sitting through the obnoxious toy commercials. So I wait ‘til they’re out on DVD, but I’m still totally behind.
Anyway, the TV show takes place between Episodes II and III, so guess what? Darth Maul never actually died. *eyeroll* The dark side of the Force is so incredibly strong in him that he willed himself to live – despite being sliced completely in half, folks. That’s right. Then again, the Emperor comes back to life in that God-awful Dark Empire comic series, the one with the utterly ridiculous World Devastator weapons.
Even if you aren’t up-to-date on the TV show, The Sith Hunters still does well as a stand-alone book. The ending leaves room for a sequel, which I’m guessing is going to happen in the beginning of season 5 of the show. What I found particularly impressive was how dialogue boxes explained what was going on at the moment while the background illustrations showed how Maul escaped Naboo and survived. That was really cool the way the writer and artist collaborated on that.
Unless you’re a die-hard Star Wars fan, particularly of the Clone Wars era and TV series, you don’t need to read this book. And Darth Maul fans, I think you’ll just be disappointed. Bruce Lee fans, you will be, too. The author pays homage to this real life martial arts master, but it falls flat.

This story takes place directly after the events of The Clone Wars season 4 finale where Darth Maul and Savage Opress are left derelict by Obi-Wan and Ventress. The main story is just fine but what I really loved was Palpatine's reaction upon learning Maul is still alive. This is definitely setting up something for season 5 of The Clone Wars as I imagine Palpatine will want to tie up the loose-end his former apprentice represents.
October 31, 2012
Not a bad story. Compliments the plot of season 4 and season 5, but doesn't inform much about the events of season 5 I don't think. Nice comic, little long but it kept my attention. I thought the explanation of Maul's survival was the best part of this graphic novel.
June 15, 2013
A bit of a disappointment. A decent story that is brought down by poor artwork. The artwork has improved slightly in these digest style comics but it still falls very short of what you get use to with the main series.
