Highlander was a twelve issue comic book limited series that was first released in 2006 and ran for one year ending in 2007. Written by Brandon Jerwa and Michael Avon Oeming, in collaboration with David Abramowitz, the preview issue released in July 2006 had over 100,000 copies pre-sold.
The initial issues (issues 0-4) deal with Connor MacLeod after the events that took place in the first Highlander film. Although the Kurgan has been defeated, some of those who followed him still seek to bring about some of his plans.
Connor also deals with battling within himself for control over the impulses and emotions he received from the Dark Quickening of the Kurgan (issues 6-9).
