In an interview with Comic Book Resources, Garing stated that he spent years working at improvements on Planetoid, then at a convention showed it to Image, who agreed to publish it.[3] The first story arc is a 5-issue mini-series. The story is intended to continue to unfold in further mini-series and one-shots.[4]

It was originally a miniseries available digitally through Graphicly.[5]
