During Dynamite‘s panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, it was announced that The X-Files are returning to comics and Joe Harris will be returning as part of the creative team.
The property has had a long history of publishing but been a while since it was regularly seen on store shelves. With a new series coming from Ryan Coogler, as well as a LEGO set, it’s a perfect time to return to the weird mysterious world.
The series was published by Topps and Titan Comics in the mid to late 90s and eventually by IDW Publishing from 2013 to 2017.
Dynamite Entertainment‘s juvenile imprint, Dynamite Kids, has announced an adorable book starring the viral sensation of 2026, Punch the Monkey. This heartwarming tale is perfect for the earliest readers, and features gorgeous artwork and fun, interactive features.
Punch: Is That My Best Friend?is written by Annie Auerbach and illustrated by Walter Carzon. The duo have crafted an adventure for the cute little monkey with him exploring the zoo in search of his best friend — the signature cuddly toy orangutan. Where could it be?
Every time the young monkey spots something orange, he thinks it may be his comforting companion. But is that an orangutan, or something different? With interactable flaps on every spread of the book, readers get to find out alongside him!
Other beloved zoo animals featured in the book include red pandas, elephants, capybaras, lions, and more!
Punch: Is That My Best Friend? joins a continually growing line from Dynamite Kids which includes both original creations as well as top licenses for young fans including Nickelodeon’s PAW Patrol, Blue’s Clues & You, and more.
Two legendary heroines, icons in their respective genres for over half a century each, Red Sonja and Barbarella are crossing paths for the first time ever in a brand-new comic series starting this November from Dynamite Entertainment.
The She-Devil With a Sword and the Siren of the Spaceways come from two different, impossible worlds. Yet one mystery is going to unexpectedly cross both their paths and draw them together by fate. Barbarella, in all her belovedly buxom energy, is sent after a mysterious black mirror tied to her past, an object that may hold the key to a life she barely remembers. Meanwhile far away, under a blood-red sky, Red Sonja rides valiantly into danger to rescue an Oracle whose violent fate seems already written in prophecy. Neither of these daring women knows of the other’s existence, and neither understands the forces pulling them together. Science fiction and swords and sorcery clash in this new adventure. Memory, destiny, desire, and survival all carry a heavy burden and price, and some debts are paid in blood!
Rising star writer Homero Rios makes his Dynamite Debut with this historic crossover. The Mexican scribe is the perfect match, with deep experience and boundless ideas across science fiction, fantasy, and horror. To date readers have been able to catch his work across both hemispheres in both the legendary Heavy Metal and Metal Hurlant. Dynamite is proud to bring his vision to the forefront with this mainstream American debut, and pairing him with two of the most iconic characters who themselves are no stranger to these boundaries-pushing and unforgiving genres.
Joining Rios in this journey across the stars and the trails is artist Diego Yapur. Himself no stranger to the pages of Heavy Metal, he’s also known for his stunning artwork on titles including Bloodshot, The Lycan, and works starring Frank Frazetta’s creations. Fans can catch Yapur’s Dynamite debut as well as his early vision of one of this title’s stars just around the corner, with a cover for Vampirella vs. Red Sonja: Red City this August. He will be contributing covers to Red Sonja/Barbarella as well.
In addition to the covers by interior artist Diego Yapur, the series features Dynamite fan-favorite Joseph Michael Linsner, Collette Turner, as well as two photo covers by cosplayer IvyCosplay portraying each co-star. Collectors looking to chase the rarest versions of the comic and add a fun surprise to their reading experience can opt for a mystery blind bag.

Dynamite has announced the next major phase of comics for the Supernaturalfranchise! Following the best-selling series written by Greg Pak, the Winchester brothers are unexpectedly split and wayward in a historic first as writers Chuck Brown and Paulina Ganucheau steer two intertwined titles starting this October!
This shocking schism starts this September in the Supernatural: Waywardspecial by Ganucheau and artist John Amor. Seam and Dean are bound by both blood and purpose, but horrible, hellish forces threaten to drive them to travel separate roads.
Just in time for the spooky season, fans can then pick up double the Supernatural stories as the two brothers go solo and solve thrilling cases. The questions in these two series are — how long can they stay apart and what could drive them back together?
In Supernatural: Dean Winchester, Eisner Award-winning scribe Chuck Brown and star artist Rapha Lobosco pick up the elder Winchester hurt and alone in the boozy and shadow-strewn streets of New Orleans. It’s Mardi Gras in the Big Easy, which means not only flocks of colorful characters, but also its hallowed alleyways crawling with creepiness and mystery. Dean is determined to close a case his dad never could, but to do so, he might have to murder a god…
Following Wayward, Paulina Ganucheau is joined by rising artist Kendall Goode in cracking open new tales for the younger brother in Supernatural: Sam Winchester. After he’s done something to Dean that he can never take back, Sam is drawn to an abandoned town deep in the heart of Appalachia. Guided by cryptic phone calls, he finds himself wrapped up in a mystery as old as the mountains themselves. Will the ancient eldritch horrors overtake this Winchester?
Dean’s standalone series is complemented by fittingly slick covers by Marguerite Sauvage and Lobosco, plus a pair of photos showcasing the brother’s iconic visage. As a multitalented creator, Ganucheau also contributes covers to her series, alongside Goode and two photos spotlighting Sam.
Supernatural super fans can check out the mystery blind bag options available for both titles, offering a fun approach to collecting and exclusive premium variant editions like logo-less versions, line art presentations of art, and more.
Readers are encouraged to follow both series, keeping up with the twin tales of the Winchesters and staying tuned for even more shocking tales to come that will reunite the wayward family once more!
