01 · Summary
What the series is about
A four-issue story adapted from unproduced The Clone Wars material, following Maul after his capture by Darth Sidious and his struggle involving the Shadow Collective and Mother Talzin.
Star Wars: Darth Maul — Son of Dathomir was published by Dark Horse during 2014. IDS classifies the series as Canon, places it in the Clone Wars era, and labels its format as Limited.
The current run record is 4 issues. That run description is kept separate from variants, collected editions, annuals, one-shots, and reprints so collectors can distinguish the story sequence from the physical formats used to publish it.

Where it sits in Star Wars comics
Star Wars: Darth Maul — Son of Dathomir belongs to the Canon side of the archive and is indexed as a limited from Dark Horse. Its publication span is 2014, with the current IDS run record listed as 4 issues.
IDS treats publisher, continuity, run structure, physical issue format, variants, and later collections as separate metadata fields so a trade paperback or alternate cover is not mistaken for a different story issue.

07 · IDS lens
What this comic can reveal
This series is useful for examining religious authority, apprenticeship, sacred tradition, institutional memory, and conflict over who can legitimately interpret the Force.
IDS separates fictional cosmology from the social institutions built around it, which makes comics especially valuable when they show schools, councils, sects, archives, rituals, or competing lineages over multiple issues.
08 · Source record
Publication and collector sources
IDS separates publication facts and creator metadata from independently written summaries and analysis. Representative covers are resolved from bibliographic records and may depict a collected edition rather than the exact first issue of the run.
