Editing Joe's Comics (section)

===Top Cow (1998–early 2000s)===
In 1998, Joe’s Comics was established as an imprint publishing Straczynski's comic work including the critically lauded ''[[Midnight Nation]]'' with artist [[Gary Frank (comics)|Gary Frank]], ''[[Rising Stars (comic)|Rising Stars]]'', and ''[[Delicate Creatures]]'', an illustrated fantasy parable.<ref name=ds/>

Straczynski had a falling-out with Top Cow over movie scripts for ''Rising Stars'' in the mid-2000s, and after communication broke down their relationship came to a stand-still. Straczynski held back the final (already written) issues of ''Rising Stars'' until Straczynski and Top Cow finally came to an agreement after a nearly two-year hiatus. Straczynski subsequently took ''[[Dream Police (comics)|Dream Police]]'' to [[Marvel Comics]]'s Icon imprint, which also published his ''[[The Book of Lost Souls]]''. Several ''Rising Stars'' spin-offs not written by Straczynski were published under Joe's Comics through 2005.<ref name=ds/>
