Ben 10’s original creators reunite for new comic series from Dynamite Entertainment in May

The Man of Action collective of Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, Duncan Rouleau and Steven T. Seagle return to the franchise they created with a revamped origin story launching in May.

Dynamite Entertainment announced that their upcoming Ben 10 series will launch in May.

Originally announced last October, the Ben 10 comic series will feature stories by the original creators of the Ben 10 TV show — who also happen to be comic creators, so it works from all angles. The Man of Action collective made up of Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, Duncan Rouleau and Steven T. Seagle will drive the series, with each partner scripting individual story arcs in turn.

“As original creators of the entire Ben 10 phenomenon, this comic book is a huge deal for us,” Casey said. “For Ben 10 fans, both new and old, we’re committed to giving you everything you could possibly want in this series. We’ve got every previous incarnation to draw from and we’re not holding anything back. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… this is the most ‘Absolute’ Ben 10 you can get!”

Man of Action will bring their creation ‘Ben 10’ back to comics

The new series will launch at Dynamite Entertainment next February.

For the first time, the original creators of Ben 10 are bringing the action-packed adventures of the hero to comics, kicking off an ongoing series this February from Dynamite Entertainment in another partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products.

The creative force behind the franchise—Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, Duncan Rouleau and Steven T. Seagle, collectively known as Man of Action Entertainment—are well known in the comics world AND for creating the Ben 10 animated series, but this is the first time they’ll personally craft Ben Tennyson’s escapades on the comics page.

“Ben 10 is obviously very close to our hearts, and has been for the last 20 years,” Casey said. “So we’re psyched to finally present a vision of Ben and his mythology in the manner and format that we’ve always wanted to see. This is basically a straight-up superhero comic that’s going to compete with every major series out there. This is ‘Ultimate’ or ‘Absolute’ Ben 10. We guarantee, this is the best that Ben 10 has ever been.”

BOOM! Studios has announced they’ve picked up the license to Mega Man, the popular Capcom video game franchise, and will kick off a six-issue series starring the character called Mega Man: Fully Charged.

Seagle and Duncan Rouleau. A.J. Marchisello and Marcus Rinehart, who wrote for the TV show, will write the comic, with Stefano Simeone providing the art.

“I can’t believe I’m working on something that I grew up with and enjoyed so much when I was a kid,” said Simeone. “I’m very happy to be working on a new Mega Man comic book, and I can’t wait to share my enthusiasm and excitement on the pages of this series with readers and fans everywhere!”
