Dynamite Entertainment has announced that it is expanding its line of Disney titles with a new ongoing Lilo & Stitch comic book series from writer Greg Pak and artist Giulia Giacomino, set to launch this coming January.
“The Lilo & Stitch movie blew me away back in the day with its gorgeous, organic animation and its hugely fun sci-fi elements,” states Greg Pak. “But above all else, I loved its focus on the everyday struggles of an incredibly relatable family on the edge and a little girl and a little monster who somehow manage to save each other. It’s a thrill to have the chance to work on this new series with this tremendous team.”
Check out the official series synopsis along with the cover artwork to Lilo & Stitch #1…
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?
Lilo & Stitch #1 will go on sale in January 2024.
