Tron: The Ghost in the Machine is a six-issue comic miniseries from Slave Labor Graphics that expands the world of Tron after the movies Tron and Tron 2.0. It was published from April 2006 to September 2008, and a collected edition came out in 2009.

The story follows Jet Bradley, the son of the original Tron programmer. This Jet is a backup copy of the real Jet and has split into three parts—red, blue, and green—that are at war inside the digital world. The three parts eventually merge into a single white “User.” The united Jet meets his human counterpart and is offered a chance to transfer into the real world using the Tron Legacy code on his identity disk. He declines, because his presence keeps the digital world stable; leaving would cause the world to collapse. Instead, he releases the Tron Legacy code to restore the digital universe and remains a computer program.
