''Invisible Republic'' is an ongoing American comic book series created by Corinna Bechko and Gabriel Hardman and published through Image Comics with an expected run of about 50 issues. The first issue was released on March 18, 2015 to good reviews. The story is set on a distant moon colonized by humans. After the fall of a dictator who had ruled for four decades, disgraced reporter Croger Babbs begins an investigation into the hidden truths behind the dictator's rise. The narrative is split equally between Babbs' adventures during his research and flashbacks depicting the dictator's early days. ==Publication history== Corinna Bechko and Gabriel Hardman, who are married collaborators, began working on ''Invisible Republic'' in 2009 as a followup to their graphic novel ''Heathentown''.〔February 19, 2015, "(BREAKING BAD Meets BLADE RUNNER in INVISIBLE REPUBLIC )", Newsarama (accessed August 4, 2015)〕 The title and some character names come from a 17th-century Irish ballad and anti-recruiting song.〔July 23, 2014, "(Gabriel Hardman and Corinna Bechko Bring Invisible Republic to Image )", ComicBook.com (accessed August 4, 2015)〕 The project was delayed in favor of work-for-hire comics such as ''Deep Gravity'' for Dark Horse Comics and ''Planet of the Apes'' for BOOM!
