The man protagonist of Shadow of Maul #1 is bounty hunter turned police officer Captain Brander Lawson struggling to bring justice to the corrupt planet of Janix (with the help of a robot sidekick).

Tales of the Underworld – The Good Life

  • Title: Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld – The Good Life
  • wiki: link

With the Asajj Ventress arc complete, the show turns its attention to a new character from The Clone Wars. “The Good Life” acts as a backstory for Cad Bane (A.J. LoCascio) who we meet as a child living on the streets with his best friend Niro (Eric Lopez). The pair are taken advantage of by the leader of a gang (who looks an awful lot like who Cad Bane will grow up to be) who entices them to help out on a heist starting one’s life in crime while the other is caught by authorities. Fans of Cad Bane looking for information on where the character started are likely going to enjoy this one the most, although it’s certainly still serviceable for those of us a bit perplexed by the choice of characters for this series.

A new Star Wars comic begins here. Set some time after the events of The Return of the Jedi, in the early days of the New Republic, Star Wars #1 opens with a squad of X-Wings led by Luke Skywalker hunting down pirates who have been harassing ships in nearby sectors. On finding them, the X-Wing pilots are shocked to discover the group has a Star Destroyer forcing a hasty retreat. However, one of Luke’s squad instead heads to the planet to get a look at the mercenary shot down in the battle (who had previously shot down one of the X-Wings), and Luke follows.
