Posted on July 17, 2026 by Graphic Policy Team Leave a comment

Thunder, thunder, thunder, ThunderCats, hooooo! Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products have announced a brand-new era for ThunderCats comics with critically acclaimed hitmaker Greg Pak at the helm. Providing fans with a perfect jumping-on point and thrilling new tales, it all starts this October!

The ThunderCats, once the proud sovereigns of Thundera, face a strange new life in exile on Third Earth, no longer ruling, but sharing the planet with the SilverHawks, the cat-hating Mu’Tants, and a multitude of unexplored societies. Lion-O, Lord of ThunderCats, still a youth in a man’s body, grows restless, hungry for bold action and heroism. But this is the time for subtle outreach and diplomacy to usher in an era of peace among equal peoples. Through the wise counsel of Tygra and the watchful friendship of Calica — who first appeared in ThunderCats (2024) #2, Lion-O swallows his pride and prepares to meet the moment.

But everything changes when a mysterious meteor streaks across the sky, casting strange light over an assembly of Third Earth’s tribes. Who is the Feral King? What is his mission? And whom will he champion — or destroy? The future of the ThunderCats, Mumm-Ra’s legions, and all the peoples of Third Earth hangs in the balance!

Thus starts the new run by rising star artist David Cousens and superstar writer Greg Pak, renowned for his work on top franchises delivering epic, character-defining stories like Batman/Superman, Planet Hulk, World War Hulk, X-Men, Darth Vader, and more. With a new roster of ‘Cats and ‘Hawks, unique new costumes and designs, and an unforgettable opening chapter, this is the ideal opportunity to jump on board the world of ThunderCats!

Known for his electrifying covers for the franchise and interior artwork on the Cheetara: Worldbreaker special, David Cousens joins to bring Pak’s scintillating scripts to the page. The team is rounded out by colorist Igor Monti, letterer Jeff Eckleberry, and the continuing guidance of editor Nate Cosby.

ThunderCats #1 features gorgeous covers by Cousens, Mark Spears, Daniele Cellini, Stephen Byrne, and Seth Damoose. Collectors can also chase rare variants with the mystery blind bag offerings. Which may include a HUGE surprise and big first from Dynamite, which will blow ThunderCats diehards away! More details will be shared at release, to not spoil it for fans.

This new series joins the previously announced companion comic, ThunderCats: Cheetara, the historic first ongoing solo series for the character by writer Saladin Ahmed and artist Andrea Arcari. The pair of new titles follow the conclusion of the blockbuster ThunderCats X SilverHawks crossover event that closed the book on the initial Dynamite era of “ThunderVerse” stories driven by Declan Shalvey, Ed Brisson, Drew Moss, and many more.

Gargoyles Comics Next Epic Starts This Summer!

Posted on June 7, 2026 by Graphic Policy Team

Dynamite Entertainment has announced a brand new era of stories from the beloved Gargoyles franchise, continuing the acclaimed chronology of franchise creator Greg Weisman, and serving up a perfect jumping-on point this August!

One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled. It was a time of darkness. It was a world of fear. It was the age of GARGOYLES! Stone by day, warriors by night, they were betrayed by the humans they had sworn to protect…frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years. Now, here in Manhattan, the spell is broken, and they live again! They are defenders of the night! They are Gargoyles!

Whether readers picking up the new Gargoyles #1 have watched the whole animated series front to back several times, devoured the back in print classic years of comics, and have had every issue of the Dynamite era on their pull list from day one, or if they’re just looking for a fun comic series full of deep characters, awesome action, and rewarding plotlines, this is the perfect book!

As each season of the original show progressed in relative real time, then despite being released way later, each comics phase picks up from that point and continues on, the Gargoyles saga has reached the pivotal era of 1997. Fans are invited to flash back in time to the electrifying fun of the 1990s and the brilliant energy that cartoons of that era brought to the table, with Gargoyles first and foremost in its class.

The titular Gargoyles only have eggs every 20 years, and the Manhattan Clan at the center of the saga have been keeping care of one playfully nicknamed “Egwardo.” The only problem is — it’s been stolen by arch-enemy Demona! As the Defenders of the Night try desperately to track down the egg, they’re also faced with an awakened ancient, all-powerful evil with a vendetta against the entire world. All that and more can be expected each and every month in this new blockbuster series.

Following an all-star team of incredible illustrators like George Kambadais, Drew Moss, Ciro Cangialosi, Pasquale Qualano, and even peers from the era of the show Frank Paur and Tad Stones, this new series brings the gregarious Gerardo Gambone to the forefront as Weisman’s latest collaborator. The two are joined by colorist Robby Bevard and letterer Jeff Eckleberry as well.

To match the thrilling tales from Weisman and Gambone inside the book, longtime Gargoyles comics editor Nate Cosby has assembled a squad of superstar artists for jaw-dropping covers featuring everyone’s favorite characters. Meghan Hetrick and Sebastian Piriz are joined by aforementioned returning franchise artists Drew Moss and Frank Paur.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Stakes Her Way Into New Ongoing Comic This Summer from Kelly Thompson and Stephen Byrne

Posted on April 19, 2026 by Graphic Policy Team

Initially announced and teased at last year’s San Diego Comic-Con, Dynamite Entertainment has revealed further details and a launch date for their Buffy the Vampire Slayer comic book. This new era of tales with writer Kelly Thompson and artist Stephen Byrne at the helm starts July 22nd everywhere comics are sold! Into every generation, a slayer is born. Headstrong, empathetic, and creative, Buffy Summers was a uniquely potent slayer. And in the seemingly idyllic California town of Sunnydale, she found friends and allies that made her particularly effective and beloved. She saved the world. A lot.

Though Thompson has kept the mysterious plot closely guarded — the oversized first issue kicks off an event story that draws in the cast of both Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. Fans can expect to see all their favorite characters from both shows racing to deal with this wild new development in Sunnydale. Emotions are running high, and of course there’s a mythic new villain on the scene. It just wouldn’t be Sunnydale without some big bad trying to destroy the world in the midst of a personal crisis.

Picking up at a pivotal point in the character’s chronology, this is a must-read for any die-hard fan of the show, but also a cool moment to join the fandom for the first time with an epic event that brings all the characters together for one big story that points to the heart of everything Buffy The Vampire Slayer has always been about. The series includes the comics debut of a beloved Buffy character, and a massive twist that will shake the faithful fandom to the core. This is a vision of Buffy the Vampire Slayer that has to be read to be believed!

Eisner Award-winning writer Kelly Thompson continues a scorching hot run of Absolute Wonder Woman, Birds of Prey, Captain Marvel, Black Widow and more by taking on a franchise she has cherished for years. She will not only be writing the new Buffy the Vampire Slayer series, but a companion Angel title, with further details on the latter to come.

Artist Stephen Byrne has delighted readers with his inimitable style on titles including Justice League / Power Rangers, Wonder Twins, Green Arrow, and Mera: Tidebreaker. Another longtime fan of Buffy, fans can check out his character designs and an early sneak peek at the book.

The powerhouse duo are joined on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series by Eisner-nominated colorist Lee Loughridge and letterer Jeff Eckleberry. Steering the ship is editor and packager Nate Cosby, one of the primary guides behind other chart-toppers like Gargoyles, Darkwing Duck, ThunderCats, and more.

To mark this momentous occasion for Scoobies all over, Nate Cosby has assembled a gang of top tier cover artists to present gorgeous visions of everyone’s favorite slayers. David Nakayama, Amanda Conner, Joshua “Sway” Swaby, and Juliet Nneka are among the first wave. Additionally, Dynamite is remastering the first ever Buffy comic cover from 1998 by the legendary Arthur Adams.

Buffy collectors can also opt for a mystery blind bag, featuring three premium variant covers for the book selected randomly from a range of logo-less editions, line art presentations of art, and wholly original artwork exclusive to this offering including covers by Byrne, Declan Shalvey, and more icon covers by the likes of J. Scott Campbell.

Gargoyles Winter Special #1

For Elisa Maza, December is bittersweet. She loves the snowy streets of New York City and the bustle of the holiday season — and having a Gargoyle boyfriend who carries her above the skyscrapers to see all of the festive lights is a pretty great perk.

But the month also reminds her of an unsolved mystery from her first year as a detective — a baffling break-in that featured odd clues, a stolen family heirloom, and vague descriptions of a lumbering “thing” that was seen only in the shadows. As she tells Goliath one icy winter night, the fact that she was never able to crack the case still gnaws at her, even after all these years.

And that’s all that Broadway needs to overhear to convince him to don his private eye trench coat and reopen the investigation — accompanied, of course, by Bronx and his bull terrier pal, Lance!

Co-written by Gargoyles creator GREG WEISMAN and NATE COSBY, and illustrated by GEORGE KAMBADAIS, this 40-page one-shot uncovers a chilly new chapter in the saga of the Stone Guardians — frosted with crystalline covers from KAMBADAIS, JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG, ROGER LANGRIDGE, and ALESSANDRO RANALDI!

Cheetara: Worldbreaker #1

Return to Thundera’s Golden Age in Cheetara: Worldbreaker — an historic new adventure that turns back the clock to a time when the young Cheetara’s mystical connection to the Sixth Sense was brand new — and terribly frightening.

As the fledgling warrior grapples with her burgeoning abilities, she slowly begins to master the mysterious power that comes with the Sixth Sense’s bond — but nothing can prepare her for the shattering discovery of who else is sharing their psychic link!

This special 40-page one-shot from author NATE COSBY (Gargoyles) and artist DAVID COUSENS (The Terminator) spins an unforgettable tale of rebellion, power, and betrayal — all highlighted by instantly classic covers from DECLAN SHALVEY, LUCIO PARRILLO, IVAN TAO, EDWIN GALMON, and classic Animation Art from the original television series!

NYCC 2025: Gargoyles and Darkwing Duck Collide!

Posted on October 6, 2025 by Graphic Policy Team

Dynamite Entertainment has announced a brand-new Disney cartoon and comics crossover! The two franchises at the foundation of Dynamite’s new era of Disney comics collide in Gargoyles/Darkwing Duck starting January 2026 — heightened even more by the ultimate creative team! The series will be written by Greg Weisman and Tad Stones with art by Ciro Cangialosi and lettering by Fabio Amelia.

“I am the Terror That Flaps in the Night!”
“We are the Defenders of the Night!”
“I am Darkwing Duck!”
“We are Gargoyles!”

In the 1990s, the beloved Disney Afternoon TV programming block inspired a legion of fans, and continues to do so for further generations to this day. Two shows stood out from the pack with their superhero genre inspired ethos, portraying powerful heroes protecting their cities from evildoers of all kinds. With fan-favorite characters and expansive lore, Gargoyles and Darkwing Duck had an indelible impact on audiences. Now the principal creators behind both mythos are coming together for an unprecedented comic book event!

When the diabolical Demona uses a mysterious magic mirror to recruit Morgana Macawber to her cause of mass destruction, Darkwing Duck and Launchpad McQuack flap their wings — actually they board the Thunderquack — over to Manhattan. They’ll quickly cross paths with Goliath and Elisa. It might be time for a classic hero versus hero misunderstanding brawl, and so much more will follow!

Greg Weisman is a revered writer and producer behind several hit animated series, as well as a long legacy in comics, with Gargoyles being his magnum opus across both mediums. Since 2022 he has been continuously chronicling new tales of his stone guardians with Dynamite, with comics picking up right where he left things. He’s continued to flesh out the arcs of his deep bench of characters, and now in this series will have a whole new set of relationships to work his magic on.

The talented Tad Stones is no rookie either, with nearly three decades working directly under the Disney umbrella. He played a key role in developing other Disney Afternoon staples like Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers and the follow up series for Aladdin and Hercules. His most iconic creation is the one and only Drake Mallard, known to his St. Canard criminal foes as Darkwing Duck. He’s recently returned as well, with a series of stunning covers on the latest series by creators Daniel Kibblesmith, Ted Brandt, and Ro Stein. This titanic team-up with Weisman will mark his first time writing Darkwing in 15 years!

The colossal co-writing tandem of Greg Weisman and Tad Stones will be ably assisted in this historic epic by the Disney comics veteran virtuoso Ciro Cangialosi. No stranger to these characters, such as illustrating Dynamite’s spotlight on Negaduck, this will be his first chance to flex his skills on the Manhattan Clan. Letterer Fabio Amelia rounds out the core team.

The worlds of Gargoyles and Darkwing Duck colliding is a can’t-miss chapter in comics, and to mark the occasion editor Nate Cosby has assembled an all-star team of top names for covers. Italian master Ivan Bigarella delighted fans on DuckTales, and will here as well. Clayton Henry‘s mastery of superheroic artwork fits these unique heroes well. Recent Dynamite superstar Declan Shalvey dishes up a delightful addition. Then both Tad Stones himself and Ciro Cangialosi pull double beyond the interior pages with covers.

SDCC 2025: Peter Cannon Thunderbolt Strikes This November!

Posted on July 22, 2025 by Graphic Policy Team

Striking first this November, Dynamite Entertainment announces a brand new series starring the legendary Peter Cannon, Thunderbolt from Fred Van Lente and Jonathan Lau. The creative team is rounded out by colorist Andrew Dalhouse, letterer Jeff Eckleberry, and editor Nate Cosby.

The last surviving member of an order of mystics that have unlocked the full, unbound potential of their brains has arrived on the streets of New York City. Their mission? To confront the renegade master who destroyed the teachers of this clan — including their own parents. Their target? Peter Cannon himself. The hidden one has become entrenched within the city’s elite and has his sights set on Peter. Yet they’ll be biting off more than they can chew, as their mark is the one and only fabled Lightning Vessel of the Awakened, able to collapse time with a single strike and defy death itself, Peter Cannon is… the living Thunderbolt!

The 21st century is awash with would-be messiahs, crazed conspiracists, and cults of all stripes. A child of this environment himself, Peter Cannon grew up in the secluded culture of “The Awakened,” a compound blending New Age psychology, Tibetan Buddhism, extreme fitness, and further mysterious elements. A mass suicide and fire wiped out almost all of the Awakened’s followers, leaving an orphaned and abandoned Peter to vie for his place in the world.

In a journey across action and intrigue-packed issues, Peter Cannon will meet his companion Tabu, investigate more of the remains of his backstory, clash with rivals and similar-such militia groups, cults, and powerful fighters. In his final showdown, he will have to prove whether he has indeed unlocked the full potential of his both his body and mind to become the Destroyer of Death!
