Orbiter

In 2003, DC Comics published Orbiter, a single-issue prestige-format graphic novel written by Warren Ellis and illustrated by Colleen Doran. The story explores the aftermath of a mysterious space shuttle's return to Earth after a decade-long disappearance, blending hard science fiction with a haunting, humanistic mystery. This compact, standalone work showcases Ellis's signature speculative rigor and Doran's lush, detailed artwork, making it a memorable entry in early-2000s DC sci-fi.
