And doesn't stand quite on its own.
Sequel to the wildly successful Long Halloween, Dark Victory offers another year-long look into Batman's early career. It is a continuation of Long Halloween, picking up on some loose threads from the original and doesn't stand quite as well on its own.
I'd like to know whether "as the original" is omitted after "own."
Thank you in advance for your help.

It would be this:
It is a continuation of Long Halloween, picking up on some loose threads from the original and doesn't stand quite as well on its own as the original.
which is somewhat awkward with the redundant phrase.
