Beast Boy Miniseries (DC Comics) whimsicalnixie September 8 2017, 00:50:05 UTC
Fandom: Beast Boy Miniseries (DC Comics)
Possible issue with the fandom: Lack of information/series confusion
Evidence for why this fandom should be considered eligible:

This was a miniseries released in the early 2000's by Geoff Johns. I'm posting here just to be safe, because the miniseries is often grouped together with Geoff Johns's run on Teen Titans, but the events within the mini are entirely separate from Johns's run on the main series.

This miniseries focuses events and characterizations that were never explored or examined in the main series. The driving force of this miniseries is Beast Boy’s murder of Madame Rouge, the subsequent fallout, and the aftereffects on both himself and other people. While the murder happened in the actual Teen Titans comics, it was never raised again in that series, only in this one. A new character created specifically for this miniseries, Gemini (Madame Rouge's daughter), is introduced. Her grudge against Beast Boy is central to the plot, which delves into an exploration of family grudges and revenge. All of these events are happening in this miniseries as a side story from the actual mainstream comics, but they are never carried into the main comics despite being based off of them.
