Lilo Who? ‘Stitch’ Breaks Out Into His Own Solo Comic From Dynamite

Stitch #1

Lilo is dead!! Just kidding. But the other half of the titular duo from the Disney film isn’t the star of the new comic book series from Dynamite, simply titled Stitch. In the series from writers Connor Ratliff and James III, with art by Greta Xella, Experiment 626 will be breaking out on his own.

“It’s not everyday you get asked to write for characters created by your heroes Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois alongside a comedic mind like your other hero Connor Ratliff, but when that day comes you jump at the opportunity!,” said writer James III. “We’ve cooked up some kooky misadventures that we hope will captivate both diehard Stitch fans and new ones alike.”

Added Ratliff, “It’s amazing to see how quickly Stitch has become an essential player in the vast canon of Disney characters. With Pluto gearing up for his 95th birthday this fall, it occurs to me that, though Stitch is an extraterrestrial with a wild backstory, he is also in some ways the 21st century Disney dog. Is that a hot take? Anyway, James and I had a blast writing these new adventures, and I’m so glad that readers now get to see them brought to life with Greta’s fantastic art.”

The plot of the book? In order to keep his membership in E.G.G.S. — the Evil Genius Group-slash-Syndicate — Dr. Jumba Jookiba is going on an evil invention inventing spree… With Stitch throwing a adorable wrench in his plans.

The first issue features covers by Edwin Galmon, Jae Lee, Ciro Cangialosi, and Jennifer L. Meyer. You can check them out below, and click for larger versions. Stitch #1 hits stores in August.
