An "Origins Preview" was first published in the Middle East in May 2006, followed by a US reprinting in July 2007. "The 99" #1 was printed in September 2006 in the Middle East and was published in the US in August 2007 as "First Light". "The 99" only ran five issues in printed form, but both Middle East and USA editions continued to be published electronically until September 2013, with the final issue being #35. Indonesian and Indian editions were also produced.
