‘Supernatural’ Is Returning, but It’s Not What You’d Think

Just when we thought Baby (the Impala) was parked for good, “Supernatural” fans are getting a surprise return; and no, it’s not another reboot or multiverse twist. Instead, Sam and Dean Winchester are back in a brand-new comic book series from Dynamite Entertainment. And the best part of all? It’s due for release in October 2025.

The new comic series, aptly titled “Supernatural,” throws it back to the early days of the show, with stories “set between the foundational first and second seasons of the revered Warner Bros. Television series.” We’re talking salt circles, EMF detectors, and the boys still reeling from their mom’s death; the raw, gritty “Supernatural” that hooked fans from the start.

Brand New Hunts Between Old Episodes

This isn’t a direct continuation of the show, and it’s definitely not just the CW’s “The Winchesters” prequel slapped into panels. These are never-before-revealed case files from the Winchesters’ early years.

According to Dynamite, the series features “brand new tales” of “the bickering brothers” out there “prowling the highways and byways of small-town America” to take down ghosts, demons, and things that definitely go bump in the night. So, the boys will still be hunting monsters and dodging emotional trauma like it’s their job. Because… it is.

The first case? A decaying rust belt town plagued by a string of suspicious fires. A local factory burns down with workers going up in flames. And the CEO? He’s a little too ready for it all. Sounds like a job for Sam and Dean…  just another Tuesday, really.

The Creative Team: Deep Fandom Energy

Known for his work on “Darth Vader” and “Lilo & Stitch,” Greg Pak is writing the series, and he’s fully leaning into the monster-hunting-meets-family-tragedy vibe. “Look, I was hooked with the ghosts, but I’m all in,” Pak says in the press release. “We’re going for fun and grounded, and then we’re going to absolutely cut loose.”

He’s joined by artist Eder Messias (“Sam Wilson: Captain America”), who admitted he almost fell out of his chair when offered the gig. “It is by far my favorite television series,” Messias said. “I’m looking forward to bringing this story to fans and giving it my best!”

We’re also getting moody, cinematic covers from Clayton Crain, David Cousens, Messias himself; plus special photo variants from the show.

With strong creative talent and classic “Supernatural” energy, this comic series is shaping up to be more than just a nostalgia trip. It’s another chance to ride shotgun with the boys. Dynamite didn’t say how long this series will run, but if fans show up (and let’s be real; we will), there’s room for a whole lot more monster-of-the-week mayhem.

Let’s just hope they bring the rock salt.
