Xena: Warrior Princess - Slave
In the aftermath of dying and being resurrected, Xena travels to Egypt for some much needed R&R. But a run-in with slave traders and the rescue of a young girl in chains leaves little room for rest as Xena discovers the girl is Egyptian royalty and the center of a plot involving none other than Cleopatra -- and Set, the Egyptian god of evil! Xena must stop the blood sacrifice that will bring the fearsome Set into this world, but she'll have to cut her way through the Egyptian priesthood and the Roman Army to get the job done!

This is an enjoyable read. It contains the main “Slave” story, and also a shorter story called “Ghost”. Both pick up in what would be early season five. Xena and Gabrielle are dealing with the trauma they’ve undergone and Rome and Egypt are in a state of chaos after Caesar’s death.
In “Slave”, Xena encounters Cleopatra, giving us the untold backstory that is mentioned in the episode “Antony & Cleopatra”. I quite like the art here. There’s a good attempt to capture Xena’s maternity costume and I like the detail that Cleopatra is a Xena lookalike.

Xena and Gabrielle travel to Egypt to free a pregnant slave from the clutches of Cleopetra. The writing was not amazing but it felt like a Xena episode for sure (albeit with more blood than TV would have allowed).
