Gundam Wing: Episode Zero Originally published in the monthly magazine, Anime V, events in this manga take place before the Gundam Wing Television Series and provide background information on a number of the characters. The comic is written by the the chief scenario writer of the television series, and the character development stories were originally supposed to be incorporated into the series after episode 27 (in place of the two re-cap episodes), but were dropped due to a tight production schedule (see Postscript). Portions of these stories were later incorporated into Endless Waltz. This manga also includes an unfinished story set after Endless Waltz: Preventer 5. Released in a series of eight comics from Viz Comics in April-November of 2001, and in a graphic novel version from Viz Graphic Novels in March of 2002. |

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Last Outpost A side story to the events in the Gundam Wing Television Series that occurs about the same time that Lady Une is acting as a diplomat to the space colonies, this three-volume comic series introduces new characters and mecha not shared with the Gundam Wing universe. Last Outpost was released in Japan as "Gundam Wing Dual Story: G-UNIT" as is often referred to by that title. The story takes place on a mining asteroid, resource satellite MO-V, where a revolutionary Gundam project is underway. Unlike previous Mobile Suits, the G-Unit is an experimental Gundam designed to operate in multiple environments, like space and water. Though the residents initially welcome OZ's presence, once the inhabitants recognize OZ's true itinerary, Brothers Odin and Odel Bernett join forces with Roche Natanno of the Stardust Knights to protect the asteroid colony MO-V from OZ, unaware that both sides are being manipulated by the creator of the G-Units for his own purposes. The comic was released in Japan in 1997-1998, along with a new line of model kits of the mobile suits, including the OZX-GU01A, Gundam Geminass 01, OZX-GU01LOB Gundam L.O. Booster, and OZ-19MASX Gundam Griepe, and released in English in 2002-2003. |
