The brothers Winchester return! Get ready to hit the road again with Dean and Sam as they prowl the highways and byways of small-town America in search of demonic wrongdoing to put right!
Set between the foundational first and second seasons of the landmark television series, this brand-new title from acclaimed author Greg Pak (Darth Vader,Lilo & Stitch) and preternaturally gifted artist Eder Messias (Sam Wilson: Captain America) brings readers back to where the dark magic first began - and reveals a disturbing new threat that the bickering brothers will have to face before they can return to hunting down the demon who killed their mother.
In this first issue, the monster hunters must uncover the entity responsible for a series of mysterious fires in a decaying rust belt town - attacks that begin with a Windler Industries factory burning down, and then escalate to several Windler employees themselves going up in flames. But finding the malevolent force behind the otherworldly arsons may not be as straightforward as it might seem - especially once the suspiciously well-prepared CEO Steff Windler gets personally involved!
Featuring atmospherically arresting covers from Clayton Crain, David Cousens, and Eder Messias, each issue of Supernatural also includes a special photo cover showcasing the beloved cast of the hit show!
Supernaturalran for 15 seasons, but the new comic goes right back to the franchise’s heyday, set in the early days of Sam and Dean’s quest for vengeance and pitting them against a fiery spirit whose motives may not be as supernatural as they seem.
Sam and Dean Go Back to Their Villain-of-the-Week Roots
Before They Literally Took on God, the Brothers Helped Everyday People
Supernaturalis famous for increasing the power levels of its villains as the series progressed, with the Winchesters taking on demons, then the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, then Lucifer, then the creator of the entire universe. The new comic takes a step back, returning to a (still terrifying) demonic villain who is making life Hell for everyday people in the Rust Belt.
One of the most exciting aspects of the new series for fans is the inclusion of Greg Pak as writer. Pak has previously worked on Marvel’sDarth Vadercomics, exploring the villain’s adventures and character development betweenThe Empire Strikes BackandReturn of the Jedi. Pak’sStar Warscomics are well-regarded by fans forambitiously expanding Vader’s storywithout rewriting or de-emphasizing the lore from the iconic films. That’s a sign thatSupernaturalfans can expect the same mix of respect for the TV show and ambitious storytellingthat makes the comic worth reading in its own right.
With one of the most committed fandoms in pop culture, there’ll always beroom for moreSupernatural, and Dynamite Entertainment is giving fans exactly that with this new series. It’s alsosetting the precedent of exploring significant adventures in the gaps between seasons- fertile ground for Sam and Dean’s further adventures, should the newSupernaturalcomic grab fan attention. Coming later this year,Supernaturaltakes Sam and Dean back to basics -“saving people, hunting things, the family business.”
