The original volume, twelve issues long, was published in 2007 and 2008 before it went on hiatus, returning in 2010 for a planned six issue limited series. A part of the Wildstorm Universe, ''Welcome to Tranquility'' is unique in its relative disconnect from other series set in the same [[Shared Universe|universe]]. [[The Authority]] are mentioned on occasion, and [[Gen 13]] guest stars in the second arc of the original series, but the majority of the story remains independent.

* [[Action Girl]]: Sheriff Tommy Lindo, who maintains order even in the face of outrageous danger.
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Throughout the series there are "reprints" of the adventures of the various characters from their youth, portrayed as [[The Golden Age of Comic Books|classic comics from the 1940's and 1950's]]. These include Minxy Millions, [[Kid Hero]] and child millionaire, and the Liberty Squad, who faught the Nazis in World War II. [[Deconstruction|They portray a lot of the problems with these stories]], such as what happens to a [[Kid Hero]] when dementia sets in and what fighting Germans on the Eastern Front will do to a man, but they remain pleasantly nostalgic and fond of the classic style.
