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!

This summer, a brand-new era ofStitchcomic 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.
