Dynamite Entertainment has published two comic book mini series based on the Highlander franchise.

Simply titled Highlander, the first limited series comic book was originally released in 2006 and ran for one year, ending in 2007.

Connor also deals with battling within himself for control over the impulses and emotions he received from the Dark Quickening of the Kurgan (issues 6-9).

The last story arc (issues 10-12) introduces Duncan MacLeod and has him assisting his kinsman Connor in defeating the followers of the Kurgan.

Michael Bailey of Comics Bulletin was "pleasantly surprised" and felt that "this could turn out to be a really neat story".

[6] Dave Baxter of Broken Frontier praised Moder's artwork, calling it "fluid, well-executed, [and] flawlessly paced" as well as the writing by Jerwa and Oeming, in particular their "above-average, rhythmic dialogue and a fabulous use of the more obscure characters and sequences from the film".

Baxter criticized the "lackluster plot", however, as well as the fact that the comic "manages to ignore entirely the continuity of the first film's premise and especially its conclusion, [creating its] own "alternative" Highlander universe".

The comic book centers around Connor MacLeod's search for the sword of his mentor Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez, after losing it in the ocean to The Kurgan by accident.

In 1804 Connor served on HMS Victory, against Napoleon's troops and fought with The Kurgan, who was onboard a French vessel.

In 1966, Connor received a message from his old friend Ian who had found his sword, it was in the hands of Antonio Direnzo, an illegal art dealer.
