Due to unexpected logistical challenges, the second issue and reprinting of the first for Ben 10 will be hitting stores at a different date. The printer experienced a power outage which affected the timeline for getting the books together and moving along to distributors and retailers. Both Ben 10 #1 2nd Printing and Ben 10 #2 will now be in stores June 10, rather than the originally solicited June 3. Though the exciting blind bag release for the first issue will still be hitting June 3, packed with the final first prints. Future issues are expected to hit their originally solicited dates for retailers and readers, including #3 in stores July 8. Fans can look forward to the explosive second chapter in the new hit series written by the original creators, the Man of Action team starting with Joe Casey.

Across the first and second printing, the first issue hit an incredible 112,000 copies sold.

The new Ben 10 Comic Series Debuts in May!

Posted on by

Following the initial announcement at New York Comic Con, Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products have revealed further details for the hotly anticipated return of Ben 10 via comic books!

The franchise’s original creators, the fabulous foursome of Man of Action Entertainment (MOA) are all set to return to the character and mythos in this new comic book series that fans have been anxiously awaiting! Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, Duncan Rouleau, and Steven T. Seagle all come from an initial background in comics, before they joined together to form a powerhouse collective for comics, animation, television, film, and beyond.

This new era of Ben 10 comic books kicks off this May with an initial story arc led by Joe Casey and artist Robert Carey. The collective MOA team will drive the stories in the comic series, with individual partners taking turns scripting story arcs as the title progresses. Future tales from Kelly, Rouleau, and Seagle will be announced as they come around, offering fans new and old exciting visions of the franchise!

Casey’s first salvo sets the foundation for this new approach with a revamped origin story, a straightforward, action-oriented take on Ben Tennyson and his adventures. Updating the concept for a modern aesthetic and sensibility, both those who grew up with the series and newcomers will get the definitive new Ben 10 experience directly from the creators. A wider range of tones and themes will be explored, from drama, comedy, to tragedy, and even the surreal.

Ben Tennyson and his family are out camping, when a meteor crashes nearby. When the inquisitive boy investigates, he finds the mysterious Omnitrix among the wreckage. From that moment, a new superhero is born! This new telling of will allow Casey and team to expand the scale and scope of these pivotal, beloved moments. A range of “real world” impacts will be explored, with the military getting peripherally involved and a bona fide alien threat.

From there, the series will proceed in a manner similar to classic superhero comics, building the mythology slowly and surely, with approachable short story arcs. The Man of Action team will be able to pull from the entirety of Ben 10 iterations through the years, picking the coolest components, favorites from the rogues’ gallery, all the while revamping and establishing a deeper continuity.

The fiery first issue of Ben 10 debuts May 6, and is complemented by a range of variant covers matching the collaborative nature of the franchise and this series. Interior artist Robert Carey illustrates a cover, alongside Man of Action partner Duncan Rouleau, plus Dustin Nguyen, Sebastian Piriz, and Eric Canete. Collectors can opt for a mystery blind bag offering, containing one limited edition of the issue selected randomly from a range of covers exclusively available this way. Fans can also get a Blank Authentix so they can draw their own Ben 10 aliens, or get a custom sketch at a convention from their favorite artists or those involved in the series!

Blood Squad Seven Yearbook delivers an Extra-Length, Action-Packed, Mind-Bending Epic in March 2026

Posted on by

Joe Casey and Paul Fry will bring fans Blood Squad Seven Yearbook #1. This action-packed issue will hit shelves in March 2026 from Image Comics.

Within Blood Squad Seven Yearbook’s extra-length, brain-breaking conclusion to this international—and interdimensional—storyline… secrets will be revealed! Worlds will collide! Heroes will struggle! Legends will die! And things—both past and present—will never be the same!

Spinning out of 2024’s Dutch mini-series, Blood Squad Seven explores ’90s superteam dynamics through a contemporary lens.

Thirty years ago, Blood Squad Seven was America’s most popular superhero team. Its members were seen on television, on magazine covers, scoring million-dollar endorsement deals…. They were celebrities and they were everywhere.

But that was then… this is now. And so, a new generation of modern-day heroes takes up the mantle—or perhaps, the poisoned chalice—fulfilling a promise made decades ago: to be the heroes that a fractured America needs.

While deconstructions of superhero nostalgia typically center around the classic characters of the Silver Age, Blood Squad Seven delves deep into ’90s comic book themes with this reimagining of what would happen if heroes from that decade returned to action after a 30-year absence.

Blood Squad Seven Yearbook #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, March 25, 2026:

  • Cover A by Paul Fry
  • Cover B 1:10 copy incentive by Jim Rugg

Question: what happens when superheroes get caught up in U.S. foreign policy? Answer: nothing you could ever expect or possibly predict. Finally — a superhero book that actually goes there. After this issue, you’ll never look at superheroes the same way again.
