There's one essential Star Wars comic you need to read before Maul: Shadow Lord

Sam Witwer, the voice actor behind Darth Maul in various Star Wars shows and the upcoming Star Wars: Maul — Shadow Lord, has spoken: you don’t need to watch anything to understand what’s happening in the new show. To that, I agree. That being said, you do need to read something to understand why Maul is so interested in rebuilding his criminal empire in the first place.
