About the series
In 2005, Image Comics launched Rising Stars: Voices of the Dead, a six-issue miniseries expanding the universe of J. Michael Straczynski's original Rising Stars saga. Writers Fiona Avery and Fiona Kai Avery, alongside artists Al Rio and Staz Johnson, crafted a standalone story that explores the aftermath of the original series' superpowered "Specials" through a new, haunting lens. This spin-off matters for deepening the mythos of one of Image's most celebrated creator-owned superhero epics, offering a focused, character-driven detour into the series' darker corners.
