Dynamite February 2025 Solicitations

He is the terror that flaps in the night! The fowl that felons most fear! A legend in his own time (and his own mind)! He is... DARKWING DUCK! But how did this avian exemplar develop his redoubtable reputation? What lessons did he learn in his early days of crime-busting and foe-foiling? His legion of fans (or, at least, his adopted daughter, Gosalyn) want to know - and DW is more than happy to tell her the whole (possibly embellished) story in this unauthorized (and unorganized) autobiography! Renowned writer DANIEL KIBBLESMITH (The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Loki, Black Panther vs. Deadpool) and the double-headed art team of TED BRANDT & RO STEIN (The Mighty Captain Marvel, Tales of the Titans: Beast Boy) return to the rooftops of St. Canard with an all-new series that revisits (and likely revises) Darkwing Duck's formative years - with a debut issue cover from artist TAD STONES, creator of the original Darkwing Duck animated series, as well as instantly iconic imagery from BRANDT & STEIN, MARK BAGLEY, NICOLETTA BALDARI, and CIRO CANGIALOSI!

Building on the success of the critically acclaimed and bestselling Space Ghost series, Dynamite Entertainment is proud to bring another beloved Hanna-Barbera classic to readers this February - The Herculoids! Hidden in the furthest reaches of space, the planet of Amzot is legendary for its fabled riches - and for the terrible fates that befall anybody who seeks to exploit them... Those who survive their encounters tell blood-chilling tales of horrific, imposing monsters that guard the mysterious world - yet the lure of its abundant resources is too great to resist. Raiders and pirates continue to come from across the galaxy, and there is only one force strong enough to stop their constant attacks - The Herculoids! But as strong as these defenders are, a recent battle may have pushed Amzot to its limits - and awakened a sleeping darkness within the planet itself! Written by TOM SNIEGOSKI (Vampirella, Hellboy) and drawn by CRAIG ROUSSEAU (Batman Beyond, Gotham Adventures), The Herculoids #1 features a wealth of covers from some of the galaxy's most talented artists, including FRANCESCO MATTINA, JOSEPH MICHAEL LINSNER, BJORN BARENDS, FELIPE MASSAFERA, and the legendary creator of Hellboy, MIKE MIGNOLA!

It's almost time for the annual Valentine's Day card exchange in the City of Townsville - and when a cute boy in her class catches her fancy, Blossom starts getting into the spirit of the holiday in a big way! Suddenly, every scenario she encounters - from going out for pizza to clobbering giant monsters - is an occasion for a swooning flight of fancy. Even Mojo Jojo's villainous schemes transform into fairy tale adventures through her newly heart-shaped eyeballs! Can Buttercup and Bubbles bring her back down to Earth in time to save the city from its inevitable attackers? Or will the Titans of Townsville succumb to the ultimate weapon - Cupid's arrow? Find out in this 40-page seasonal special, handwritten on rose-tinted paper by PAULINA GANUCHEAU and lovingly drawn by SAVANNA GANUCHEAU, featuring a bouquet of covers from both Ganucheaus as well as hopeless romantic NICOLETTA BALDARI!

The Savage Tales return with an all-new winter special to warm the cockles of readers' wild and untamed hearts! Savage Tales Winter 2025 Special features three hard-boiled stories packed with two-fisted action and barbaric brutality, written by Dynamite's acclaimed master of pulp DAVID AVALLONE and illustrated by a murderer's row of killer artists: • EMAN CASALLOS takes on "Mutiny on Mars" starring JOHN CARTER and DEJAH THORIS • MARIANO BENITEZ-CHAPO finds "The Real Thing" with VAMPIRELLA • and HAMISH MUNRO-COOK closes the book on CAPTAIN GULLIVAR JONES with "His War Chapter III"! As a special bonus, this 40-page one-shot also includes a reprint of KURT BUSIEK and BENJAMIN DEWEY's "Seeing Red" from the pages of Red Sonja: Black, White, Red, which finds the She-Devil with a Sword seeking a precious, priceless item in the foreboding Mountains of Night! Add in a quartet of take-no-prisoners covers by ARTHUR SUYDAM, BJORN BARENDS, JOSEPH MICHAEL LINSNER, and RACHEL HOLLON cosplay, and you've got the perfect package to stave off cabin fever until spring!

After the escape of notorious mobster Mon*Star torpedoed Stargazer's retirement plans, the erstwhile commander of the SilverHawks is scrambling to get his moribund program of cybernetically enhanced agents back on track. But the crime lord's prison break has given evildoers across the galaxy a head start over the forces of law and order - as Bluegrass and Hotwing find out when they discover Mon*Star meeting with their own employer, Poker-Face! As the two desperately race to escape Poker Face's enforcers and inform the SilverHawks of his treachery, Stargazer faces a bigger challenge - convincing a traumatized Quicksilver to join the newly revived team! Casino pit boss ED BRISSON (ThunderCats: Apex, The Uncanny X-Men) and professional card shark GEORGE KAMBADAIS (Gargoyles, Hercules) raise the stakes in the second issue of their no-limit series - with the house going all-in on covers from LUCIO PARRILLO, JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG, JAMES STOKOE, GERALDO BORGES, IVAN TAO, LESLEY "LEIRIX" LI, MANIX, and DAVID COUSENS!

After their investigation into the PB&J cell phone sabotage plot temporarily stalls, Officers Hopps and Wilde respond to a call that most cops would avoid like a stale donut - a break-in at the City Dump! Or rather, a break-in at the Zootopia Recycling Depot, as its managing skunk Chuck Flowers is quick to emphasize when Hopps and Wilde arrive to view his security tapes. The footage of the felonious raccoons and opossums hauling away bags of garbage is clear enough, but what's not clear is what kind of trash it is that they're stealing - or why. There's only one way to crack this case: It's time for a good old-fashioned stake-out! Canny crime reporters JEFF PARKER (Negaduck, Batman '66) and ALESSANDRO RANALDI (Disney Villains: Hades) delve further into the inner workings of Disney's species-rich city with Zootopia #2 - bolstered by eye-catching covers from RANALDI, TRISH FORSTNER, CRAIG ROUSSEAU, and more!

The countdown has begun, and the odds that Barbarella will be able to save the colonists of Alpha Prime are getting longer by the second - especially since she still has to find out where they've all gone! Meanwhile, light years away on Planet Metrafusion, time's also just about up for Jury Quire - and not even Barbarella can be in two places at once! Head timekeeper BLAKE NORTHCOTT (Vampirella, Catwoman, Heavy Metal Magazine) and line judge ANNA MOROZOVA (Judge Dredd, 2000 AD) sound the two-minute warning with Barbarella #5 - backed by covers from cheer squad members JOSEPH MICHAEL LINSNER, ANNIE WU, RICHARD PACE, and RACHEL HOLLON!

They say that wisdom is the greatest of riches, and there's a wealth of it to be found on the shelves of the Duckburg Library. But Huey, Dewey, Louie, and their Uncle Scrooge are looking for something more tangible in the depths of its historic stacks - a forgotten map to the world's greatest treasure! The hunt reminds Uncle Scrooge of an adventure from his early days with a young pilot named Launchpad McQuack, which he relates to the boys while they search for the map. All this racket draws the ire of the head librarian, Miss Bookbeak - who may hold the key finding their hidden quarry! Learned scribe BRANDON MONTCLARE and master illuminator TOMMASO RONDA open a promising new chapter in Duckburg history with this DuckTales #4 - all bound in beautifully embellished covers by RONDA, IVAN BIGARELLA, FRANCESCO TOMASELLI, CARLO LAURO, and ALAN QUAH!

VENGEANCE TEN CENTURIES IN THE MAKING! The tragic tale of Demona, sworn enemy of Disney's Gargoyles, begins in Dynamite Entertainment's special Free Comic Book Day issue #0 of Gargoyles: Demona! For a thousand years, while the heroic Gargoyles slept, their nemesis Demona has been wide awake - scheming and plotting her revenge against humanity for destroying her kind. And although Goliath and his clan of Gargoyles will do everything they can to protect their adopted New York City, they are not prepared for the lengths to which Demona will go in order to enact her twisted plan for justice - or for how large a part they themselves will play in carrying it out! Written by Gargoyles creator GREG WEISMAN, illustrated by acclaimed artist (and veteran of the original animated series) FRANK PAUR, and featuring a stunning cover by MEGHAN HETRICK, Gargoyles: Demona #0 kicks off an electrifying new chapter in the timeless saga of the Manhattan Clan - culminating in an unbelievable four-page preview that will leave readers old and new clamoring for more!

The thing about Negaduck is, he's not just a one-trick villain. The can lie, cheat, cause chaos... but what he's really great at? STEALING! So great, in fact, that his mastery at thieving gets him noticed by a super-duper secret collective of burgling bad guys that not only want him to join their group... they want him to be their leader! Second-story men JEFF PARKER and CIRO CANGIALOSI are joined by larcenous cover artists JAE LEE, DREW MOSS, and TRISH FORSTNER for this latest and greatest adventure of Darkwing Duck's notorious nemesis. Missing it would be a crime!

The Powerpuff Girls know that doing good deeds means more than just battling armored megalomaniacs in the streets - there's also real challenges, like helping out at the Townsville Animal Shelter during their pet adoption fair! With her Chemical X-fueled ability to speak to animals, Bubbles is a natural for the job. But with so many adorable new friends to take care of, her superheroing starts to take a back seat to her supernurturing, leaving Blossom and Buttercup scrambling to pick up the slack - and eyeing the increasing stream of suspiciously familiar-looking pets that start showing up at the shelter! The mind-melded team of AMANDA DEIBERT and SILVIA DE VENTURA continue their creative symbiosis with The Powerpuff Girls #8 - supported by singular covers from PAULINA GANUCHEAU, ALESSANDRO RANALDI, CAT STAGGS, and PASQUALE QUALANO!

The first collection of Darkwing Duck's all-new adventures is here at last! Alongside his trusty sidekick Launchpad McQuack, Darkwing Duck hyper-vigilantly defends the citizens of St. Canard against the dastardly, devilish demons who would wage wanton war upon them! By night, our caped defender lurks in the shadows, striking fear (and maybe confusion?) into the hearts of the criminal underworld. But by day, no one suspects that Darkwing is also mild-mannered Drake Mallard, a well-meaning father to his adorable adopted daughter, Gosalyn! Can Darkwing/Drake successfully navigate his two separate lives, all while looking incredibly cool and impossibly handsome? Well, probably not... but you'll have to read the whole thing to find out!

Behold - The Justice Ducks! An elite team of superheroes that battle crime with ruthless precision and effectiveness! No, just kidding - they're actually a group of ducks (and a fish) that kinda/sorta work together sometimes... at least while Darkwing Duck has his whole "I work better alone!" thing under control, which admittedly isn't very often. But when the squad heads off on a mission first to the far north and then deep beneath the ocean, the question of whether DD can subdue his ego long enough to be an effective member of the team becomes more and more important - and less and less likely! Collecting issues #7 through 10 of the acclaimed series from writer AMANDA DEIBERT and artist CARLO LAURO, Darkwing Duck Vol. 2: The Justice Ducks also includes a complete cover gallery featuring captivating art from LESLEY "LEIRIX" LI, MIRKA ANDOLFO, DREW MOSS, TRISH FORSTNER, and CIRO CANGIALOSI!

"I am the screeching fingernail on the chalkboard of justice. I am the sour ball in the candy jar of goodness. I am NEGADUCK!" He's the exact opposite of DD in every way... evil, nefarious, dedicated to stealing lollipops from kids and not helping grandmas across the street! And now, he's ready to begin a reign of crime and terror the likes of which St. Canard has never seen - except... dang it, all of the other villains are ripping off his ideas! What's a criminal mastermind to do when the city's thick with other criminals, stealing his shine? Why, take his villainy on the road, of course! Written with fiendish glee by arch-author JEFF PARKER and illustrated by the suspiciously talented CIRO CANGIALOSI, Negaduck Vol. 1: The Evil Opposite! collects issues #1-4 of DD's nefarious nemesis, and features a suitably sinister cover from JOSHUA MIDDLETON!
