In the tenth episode of Maul – Shadow Lord, Maul and his companions attempt to escape Janix. The situation quickly becomes more dangerous when Maul discovers the Inquisitors are under the command of Darth Vader, who dramatically appears on the planet. The episode delivers an exciting, action-filled season finale and successfully incorporates a compelling idea originally conceived by George Lucas for the sequel trilogy into the official Star Wars story.

Fans have long wondered what a fight between Darth Maul and Darth Vader would look like. While older Star Wars stories hinted at this clash, and the Star Wars Rebels series briefly teased it before focusing on a reunion between Vader and Ahsoka, the new comic Maul – Shadow Lord finally delivers the epic duel we’ve been waiting for – and it doesn’t disappoint.

The story concluded with Asta defeating Yuno, earning the title of Wizard King, and finally bringing peace to the Clover Kingdom. After the conflict, each character began to pursue their own goals and dreams. The finale also confirmed romantic relationships that fans had hoped for, most notably between Yami and Charlotte, which had been hinted at throughout the series. Interestingly, Asta remained single, which sparked a new competitive dynamic between Noelle and Mimosa, both of whom are interested in him.

New manga series these days tend to move quickly and have fewer chapters than the classic titles we all know. 2026 is shaping up to be a great year for the magazine, with lots of new releases, including a new action manga from the creator of Gintama. However, several series will also be ending or getting cancelled this year. One particularly popular series, Hima-Ten, is nearing its conclusion.

The story concludes with an unresolved cliffhanger. Although it hints that Dabura came back to Earth for Kyoko, the series never shows them reuniting or confirms what happened. The last volume of the manga includes extra artwork, character details, and final thoughts from the creators, Akutami and Iwasaki.

As a huge romantasy fan, I’m so excited to see one of the biggest series really making a comeback with tons of new stuff! And it’s not just that – we’re finally getting a sequel to a fantasy book I’ve been waiting for! But the biggest surprise? A return in 2026 that absolutely no one predicted, and honestly, it’s the most creative way I’ve seen a series get revived.

Footage and posters have already shown that Kano and Kung Lao will return for the sequel, which is unexpected since they both died in the first movie. Director Simon McQuoid explained that bringing characters back from the dead is part of what makes Mortal Kombat enjoyable. He specifically fought to have Kano return because he loved Josh Lawson’s performance in the first film, believing Lawson perfectly captured the right tone for the series. McQuoid also wanted to bring back Kung Lao, wanting to feature his iconic hat in a fight scene, because he finds the character incredibly cool and fun.
