The series was a compilation of short stories consisting of adaptations of the first two games' events (alluded and depicted) and related side-stories along with original tales. The ending of Issue #5 was followed by Resident Evil: Fire and Ice in 2001, which continued on as a single story, using several characters from the Official Comic Magazine. A third entry in the series, simply titled "Resident Evil" (though referred to as "Resident Evil Vol 2" in copyright documents) was released in 2009, though made no mention of the events of the first two entries.
