I never did like being one of those fans who criticize and nitpick at every little mistake, but it has always irked me to see a random non-force sensitive hold off or land blows on a force user in close combat, as it contradicts the advantages a force user holds over them, which is more than just being able to move objects with their minds. It's like the writers forget that these are the guys who casually deflect and/or evade multiple blaster bolts even at close range, which is something hard to forget seeing as how it happens so frequently.

Well I can overlook him being able to hold his own against force users or being able to dodge blaster bolts then, as long as there are at least hints as to why he's capable of these.
So I'm alright with that.

"The fact that Maul lives is proof enough that Grievous failed to destroy her."
I wonder if Palpatine's statement implies that Maul/Talzin share a common life-bond brought forth by magic? Meaning: when one lives, both live--but when one dies, both die? If so, this could likely turn into a '2 birds/one stone' scenario. ie. Palps kills Talzin, which will kills Maul by proxy(or vice versa.)

^ Nah if that were true Then Palpatine would just kill Maul. I think he means how else was Maul revived. Remember his revival was after Grievous' s forces destroyed the nightsisters.
Mind you, (1) since Durge, so not counting Durge, and (2) how many Jedi slaughters have their been in between? Aurra Sing and... pretty much just Aurra Sing, right?
Maul doesn't typically leap to force usage first.
Griev specifically let some of the other droid forces tire him out a bit before jumping in, and thus it doesn't surprise me that he did so well.
Plus, superior numbers. Mandos are good and all, but they're hardly invincible, such a high end droid force willing to soak a lot of losses is fairly overwhelming.
How do you know he didn't tire him at all? He was also force waving shit load of droids before that. Grievous is not THAT Bad ass. He's no match for Maul in a one on one fair fight to the end. And Maul and Grievous both know that.
If one force-wave and a meager two-page-long battle with a few Magnaguards were enough to significantly fatigue Maul, his stamina would be complete shit. Thanks to his battle with Palpatine in "The Lawless", however, we know that Maul's stamina is sufficient to engage in a MUCH more intense/rigorous battle, against a MUCH more powerful opponent, and for a MUCH greater duration of time than what we saw in this issue, without showing ANY signs of fatigue. Am I to believe this team of Magnaguards taxed him more than Palpatine did? Please.
The answer here is simple: Grievous was able to give Maul a decent fight, because Grievous is just THAT good. Accept it and move on.
