The comic was published in August 1999, monthly at first by Top Cow/Image Comics, and then under the Joe's Comics imprint. Within a few months, however, there were unscheduled artist changes and unexplained delays by Top Cow in shipping the comics—sometimes lasting months. The last issue of Rising Stars was published in March 2005. During the intervening time, Straczynski had gone on to write a revamp of Marvel's Squadron Supreme, Supreme Power.

- The year is 1969. A single comet falls from the sky, looking like God's finger. What finger of God it was, Poet doesn't know. However it then explodes/disappears in a flash that lights the sky above the small American town of Pederson. Poet is one of the 113 specials, the children that were ready to be born when that flash occured and gave them powers that only ruin their lives. Each has a power regardless of their personality, not that they want them. The comic was published from 1999-2005. J. Michael Straczynski wrote it, and it has been speculated how much The 4400 and Heroes drew from it.

| - The comic was published in August 1999, monthly at first by Top Cow/Image Comics, and then under the Joe's Comics imprint. Within a few months, however, there were unscheduled artist changes and unexplained delays by Top Cow in shipping the comics—sometimes lasting months. The comic itself came to an unexpected halt after issue 21 due to internal arguments between Straczynski and Top Cow. Straczynski claimed he was cut out of the loop on the potential Rising Stars movie. After communication broke down between them, he held back the scripts for the last three issues, and the entire comic was put on hold. In addition to an apology for the way Straczynski was treated in regard to the possible film, Top Cow relented by giving him the full rights to an anthology comic he had written for them, Dream Police (later published by Marvel Comics), as well as the rights to the name and logo for the Joe's Comics imprint. The last issue of Rising Stars was published in March 2005. During the intervening time, Straczynski had gone on to write a revamp of Marvel's Squadron Supreme, Supreme Power.
- The year is 1969. A single comet falls from the sky, looking like God's finger. What finger of God it was, Poet doesn't know. However it then explodes/disappears in a flash that lights the sky above the small American town of Pederson. Poet is one of the 113 specials, the children that were ready to be born when that flash occured and gave them powers that only ruin their lives. Each has a power regardless of their personality, not that they want them. The story is told by Poet, about his friends, the other Specials, and how they began and ended over a period of decades in flashbacks and flashforwards. The comic was published from 1999-2005. J. Michael Straczynski wrote it, and it has been speculated how much The 4400 and Heroes drew from it.
