The monthly tie-in to the animated series, drawn in the show’s style and pitched at the show’s audience, whose first arc the television series later adapted for itself.
Twelve issues from September 2008 to January 2010. Henry Gilroy’s opening Slaves of the Republic arc was later adapted into three fourth-season television episodes — “Kidnapped”, “Slaves of the Republic” and “Escape from Kadavo”.
This run is in the catalogue but has not been written up. Everything above is verified publication data; there is no opinion here yet, and a placeholder review would be worse than none.
The arc breakdown and issue list below are the useful part for now.
