Your local comic shop is about to get a little more jawsome. Mattel and IDW Publishing have announced that Street Sharks will be returning to comics, marking the first new release in over 20 years and introducing the beloved ’90s characters to a whole new generation. This series builds upon the partnership between Mattel and IDW Publishing.
Debuting September 2025 with Street Sharks #1 (of five issues), the series follows the action-packed adventures of the four Bolton brothers – half-shark, half-human heroes and crime fighters. Since its debut in 1994, the Street Sharks franchise has also inspired a popular Mattel action figure line.
Writer Stephanie Williams and artist Ariel Medel bring Street Sharks to the page. Based on the classic animated series, the upcoming comics will thrill readers as the Sharks protect Fission City from a range of gene-slammed threats, including super-strong and monstrous lobsters and squids, and diabolical mad scientists that transform into vicious piranha monsters. The comic will deliver on everything fans loved from the hit show and the tone of its era, from the Sharks riding cool motorcycles to eating a lot of burgers and metal while swimming through the city’s concrete to take down the bad guys.
Street Sharks #1 features covers by Philip Murphy, Elizabeth Beals, Khary Randolph, and Kevin Anthony Catalan.

This is a collection of one-shot stories set in the Weird West world of Deadlands, created by Shane Lacy Hensley. Each story features some of the industry’s top creators and each story shows a different aspect of the Deadlands world.
Dark Spaces: Good Deeds—the second comic book miniseries in New York Times best-selling author Scott Snyder’s curated line of IDW Publishing original projects—has been shrouded in secrecy. This eerie historical thriller of obsession, power, and redemption carefully kept from the public, waiting for just the right time to surface…and that time is now!
In anticipation of the series launch in May, IDW has unveiled the ethereal cover artwork for the first issue of Dark Spaces: Good Deeds, giving the first tantalizing taste of the six-issue miniseries written by Che Grayson, with art by Kelsey Ramsay, and colors by Ronda Pattison.
The unifying theme of Scott Snyder’s Dark Spaces line is the exploration of decisions made—and irreversible actions taken—by desperate people in desperate situations. Each character-driven entry in the Dark Spaces anthology series is a fully contained, standalone story written or curated by Snyder, championing the new generation of comic creators.
As testament to Dark Spaces’ commitment to up-and-coming talent, Good Deeds #1 features evocative covers from a gifted handpicked team, including series artist Ramsay, Elizabeth Beals, Hayden Sherman, and Martin Morazzo, with colors by Chris O’Halloran.
In Good Deeds, teenager Cheyenne Rite and her mother, Rebecca, move to St. Augustine, Florida, in search of a fresh start. They cross paths with Jean McKnight, a disgraced big-city journalist determined to rebuild her career, starting with a fluff piece on the town’s upcoming 450th anniversary celebration. When the quaint community’s festivities give way to bloodshed, Jean begins an investigation, and the women find themselves at the heart of a supernatural conspiracy linked to St. Augustine’s sinister colonial past.
