Nagayana
Nagayana is an 8-part mega series featuring Nagraj and Super Commando Dhruva that was published by Raj comics in a span of 3 years from 2007-2009. It is a parallel series set in an alternate universe/parallel earth. It is a story based in 2025 A.D. exploring the future of Dhruva, Nagraj and their various other supporting characters in the alternate universe. The series was co-written by Anupam Sinha and Jolly Sinha, and the artwork for the series was handled by a team of various artists led by Anupam Sinha himself. Largely based on the Hindu epic Ramayana, the story of Nagayana as a whole as well as most of its sub-plots narrowly follow the same storyline as that of the Hindu epic with Raj Comic characters Nagraj, Dhruva, Visarpi and Nagpasha filling in the roles of original characters Rama, Laxmana, Sita and Ravana respectively. Earlier supposed to be a four-part series, this series was later converted into an 8-part series in order to fit in various sub-plots. The series ended with Dhruva and Nagraj sacrificing their lives to defeat Krurpasha (Nagpasha's alias in the series). Nagayana ends with the progeny of Dhruva and Nagraj taking over the responsibility to fight evil forces. Five years later, in 2014, Raj comics published a 32-page epilogue to the iconic 8-part series, thus laying a foundation for sequel to Nagayana, Mahanagayana.
Following is the list of titles published as a part of Nagayana series:
