With New York Comic Con 2023 kicking off later this week, Dynamite Entertainment has announced an ongoing comic book series starring Disney‘s beloved Lilo & Stitch! Writer Greg Pak and artist Giulia Giacomino bring fans of all ages a thrilling tale with all the fun and heart that Experiment 626 is known for this January!

Following the events of the iconic 2002 animated film, the alien Stitch has found his place in Hawaii with his ‘ohana, which includes his best friend Lilo, Lilo’s older sister Nani, Nani’s boyfriend David, the aliens Dr. Jumba and Agent Pleakley, and social worker Cobra Bubbles. With the support of this extended found family, Lilo and Stitch are learning to somewhat moderate their sometimes destructive impulses with a new sense of responsibility. They all get to enjoy the beautiful sights, sounds, and tastes of Hawaii — and the waves!

That is, until a new threat comes hunting for everyone’s favorite, fuzzy blue boy — mysterious giant robots seeking samples of Stitch’s own DNA for their own nefarious purposes! In a brand new journey that will take readers across the world, will Stitch be able to protect his home and loved ones? And how can he ever be reunited with his ‘ohana if his presence always seems to endanger them?

The kickoff to this historic first ever Lilo & Stitch comic series features covers from four incredible artists. David Nakayama has been stamping his mark with his clean and expressive style on many Dynamite Disney titles, and he delivers an incredible surf’s up scene of the titular duo. Superstar Joshua Middleton depicts a quieter moment of embrace back on the beach. Jennifer L. Meyer‘s ethereal, dream-like style showcases the beautiful landscapes of Hawaii and Stitch’s rocking guitar skills. Last but not least, Craig Rousseau contributes a cool color bleed cover.

Lilo & Stitch #1 comes to shops in January 2024.
