Another example of a gorgeous, intricate foreground, ephemeral background, and delicate character linework by Al Williamson. My favorite part of this panel is how the moss overlaps with Luke’s speech bubble, which emphasizes the power of nature over the designs of man. My least favorite part is our boys’ apparent disregard for gun safety.

This moment, when Maul hangs up on Palpatine, is in my opinion the most empowered Maul ever gets to be. In fact, I think it might even be going too far! I’m not sure Maul, as I think of him, would ever have the confidence to actually do this. But this moment ultimately doesn’t last very long, and Maul is certainly humbled by the end of this comic. :(
