When you’re a renowned scientist like Dr. Jumba, it’s important not to rest on your laurels. And one of the best ways to avoid getting stuck in a rut is to try out new ideas — the odder the better!

With that in mind, the good doctor and Agent Pleakley are ready to test out Jumba’s latest scheme — an invention that lets Stitch and Lilo switch bodies! Unfortunately, there’s still a few bugs in their New-Fangled Doohickey™, and in short order Stitch’s consciousness is hopping through every body in the vicinity, up to and including the Grand Councilwoman! Can the same brain trust that unleashed the malfunctioning device figure out how to fix it before everyone is mind-swapped into chaos?

Find out in the second frenetic issue of Stitch, from the telepathically linked team of writers CONNOR RATLIFF and JAMES III (Tiny Dinos, Dead Eyes, Young Dylan, All That) and artist GRETA XELLA — featuring extrasensory covers from EDWIN GALMON, JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG, CIRO CANGIALOSI, and JENNIFER L. MEYER!

Dr. Jumba Jookiba, the scientist responsible for releasing the blue-furred phenomenon known as Stitch onto an unsuspecting galaxy, is in danger of losing his membership in E.G.G.S. — the Evil Genius Group-slash-Syndicate. With all the time that he’s been spending on Earth, Dr. Jumba hasn’t earned enough Villain Points to re-up next year. And while he no longer considers himself fully “evil,” he really wants to stay in E.G.G.S. — mainly for their great dental plan, and complimentary intergalactic travel lounges.

What’s a morally flexible genius to do? Why, create a series of evil inventions in an attempt to remain qualified, of course! There’s just one problem (well, two, if you count Pleakley’s vain attempts to rein in the good doctor): Stitch is a wild card that Jumba can never properly account for in his calculations — and the fuzzy little ball of chaos finds a way to ruin every one of his brilliant inventions!

Acclaimed writers/comedians/podcasters CONNOR RATLIFF and JAMES III (Tiny Dinos, Dead Eyes, Young Dylan, All That) join forces with otherworldly artist GRETA XELLA to bring Earthlings everywhere the all-new adventures of Lilo’s irrepressible pet — featuring singularly celebratory covers from EDWIN GALMON, JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG, CIRO CANGIALOSI, and JENNIFER L. MEYER!

Summer is here, and all the citizens of Townsville are heading out into the sunshine and fresh air to enjoy the happiest and most carefree season of the year — including the city’s surprisingly substantial population of supervillains!

In fact, when resident heroes The Powerpuff Girls arrive for a day of fun at the Townsville Amusement Park, they’re shocked to discover that the rides are clogged with lawbreakers and malefactors of every description — and what’s worse, the Mayor himself seems to be responsible for inviting them in!

The girls try to raise the alarm, but their warnings fall on deaf ears. And so, once again it’s up to Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup to right that which is wrong and put the evildoers on ice — as well as ferreting out the real reasons for the Mayor’s impeachable behavior!

Written and illustrated by the sunburned team of writer JAMES III and artist CARLO LAURO, this sizzling 40-page special comes complete with sunblocking covers by LAURO, SILVIA DE VENTURA, and GEORGE KAMBADAIS!

Stitch Brings His Beloved Chaos to a New Comic Series!

This summer, a brand-new era of Stitch comic books kicks off courtesy of Dynamite Entertainment, Disney, and the creative team of writers Connor Ratliff and James III, artist Greta Xella, and the rest of the crew!

With a juggernaut film set to release soon, Stitch fans of all ages can get excited to complement it with a new era of comics starring the blue-furred phenom. This August, a brand-new title launches with original adventures and mishaps of the beloved Disney classic.

Dr. Jumba Jookiba is the mastermind creator of Stitch, his 626th such experiment. But he’s found himself spending a lot of time on Earth recently, distracted from his villainous intergalactic background and expertise. He’s in danger of losing his membership in the prestigious organization E.G.G.S. — the Evil Genius Group-slash-Syndicate. His time away has resulted in him being short on “Villain Points” that he needs to re-up his standing in the group. Though he considers himself fairly reformed from his past evil ways, he can’t give up the benefits of being a card-carrying E.G.G.S. member. Their dental plan and complimentary travel lounges are too good to let go!

To keep himself qualified, Jumba is going on a spree of evil inventions. Each more frightening than the last, he needs to accrue as many Villain Points as he can, as fast as possible. The only problem is his companions are constantly tampering down his efforts, or throwing a fuzzy, blue wrench into the whole process. Earth expert Agent Pleakley tries to rein in the good doctor. But the unpredictable Stitch is even more of a nuisance, finding a way to ruin each and every new brilliant invention. Writer Connor Ratliff describes the dynamic they’re aiming for with the core cast as an addition to the rich legacy of Disney trios, like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy, to The Three Caballeros, and The Three Little Pigs. Fans will get to see some other fan-favorite characters from the franchise too!

The new series is scripted by acclaimed writers, comedians, and podcasters Connor Ratliff and James III, known for their work on projects like Tiny Dinos, Dead Eyes, Fairly OddParents: A New Wish, and All That. They’re teaming up with Italian artist Greta Xella. A wonderful, unique artist in her own right of course, she is connected to the legendary Mirka Andolfo’s Arancia Studio. Which also makes her a peer of Giulia Giacomino who drew the preceding Lilo & Stitch title, providing returning fans with a bit of familiarity and stylistic connection.

The first issue of Stitch and beyond feature singularly celebratory covers from returning Dynamite Disney veterans like Edwin Galmon, Jae Lee, Ciro Cangialosi, and Jennifer L. Meyer.

Stitch #1 comes to shops in August 2025. 

The Powerpuff Girls’ Summer Celebration Crashed by Villains!

Summer is right around the corner and The Powerpuff Girls are ready to celebrate, but their plans are dashed by the unexpected presence of nearly all their foes, in the upcoming Supervillain Summer Spectacular!

This seasonal special release from Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products is led by the sunburned creative team of writer James III and artist Carlo Lauro. James the Third is a writer, producer, actor, and podcaster known for projects like Astronomy Club: The Sketch ShowThe Fairly OddParents: A New Wish, Good Burger 2.

The citizens of Townsville are putting on their summer clothes, basking in the warm sun, and enjoying the happiest and most carefree season of the year. But it turns out this includes the city’s substantial population of supervillains!

Their counterparts, the city’s resident heroes The Powerpuff Girls are ready to hit the Townsville Amusement Park. To their great shock, they’re met with all the rides clogged by lawbreakers and malefactors, extending all the lines around the corners and having a blast. It turns out the Mayor himself is responsible for extending all these invites!

It’s up to The Powerpuff Girls to figure out what’s going on, when their initial alarms and objections fall on deaf ears. Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup will figure out the real reasons for the Mayor’s impeachable behavior, and right what is wrong — or will they?

This special oversized issue features a choice of three main cardstock variant covers by Lauro, Silvia De Ventura, and George Kambadais.

The Powerpuff Girls: Supervillain Summer Spectacular is coming to shops in July 2025.

By day, he’s Walter Whitney, a fledgling theater columnist with a wild imagination, but by night he’s Bob Phantom, the “Scourge of the Underworld” — or is he? Using his power to become immaterial, Walt beats up criminals and then breaks the news of his exploits in his newspaper column . . . but New York City is not as it once was, and with less crime that means less news. So, if there’s no crime left to fight, there’s only one thing to do: create enemies. Is Bob Phantom really the Scourge of the Underworld, or its leader?
