Darth Maul—Son of Dathomir, Part One is the first issue of the comic series Star Wars: Darth Maul—Son of Dathomir. Within its pages, the once-Sith Lord Darth Maul is held captive by his former master, Darth Sidious, after being captured on Mandalore. He is rescued by his Death Watch followers from the Spire on Stygeon Prime, before rendezvousing with more of his forces on Zanbar. He is pursued by General Grievous and the Separatist Droid Army, under orders to weaken Maul's base of power in the hopes that he seeks out Mother Talzin so she can be drawn into the open and destroyed by the Sith. The two forces engage in a battle on Zanbar and each side suffers heavy losses, forcing Maul to flee and make contact with the Dathomir witch.
