About the series
In 2008, Image Comics launched Pilot Season: Twilight Guardian, a one-shot by Troy Hickman that served as a tryout for a new superhero concept. The story introduces a costumed vigilante patrolling the streets of a city, blending classic heroics with a grounded, character-driven tone. As part of Image's Pilot Season initiative, this issue tested reader interest in a potential ongoing series, making it a notable snapshot of the publisher's experimental approach to launching new IP.
