Adam_May<\/a><\/span>
In one corner we have an embittered Sith Apprentice (Lord?) and in the opposing corner we have the grumpiest, crustiest geezer on Tatooine! In this Comic-Con 2010 <\/STRONG> EXCLUSIVE Comic-Book 2-Pack, who will emerge victorious? (Spoiler Alert if you\'ve seen freakin\' Star Wars: A New Hope<\/EM>.) Why, oh why, didn\'t Rancheros de la Lucas resurrect Darth Maul<\/STRONG> for Revenge of the Sith<\/EM>? His ultimate betrayal and demise would have been so<\/EM> much more satisfying than the gasping, dying (but somehow still alive) General Grievous<\/STRONG>! Read on for more!<\/span>
