Supernatural Comic Hits Shelves in 2026, Teases Sam and Dean Split
Get ready to wait, Supernatural fans. Dynamite Entertainment just announced the Supernatural: Wayward Special, but don't expect it anytime soon. This standalone comic, hitting shelves in September 2026, promises to fracture the iconic bond between Sam and Dean Winchester, setting the stage for a major "Supernatural event" comic later that same year.
The real surprise? Paulina Ganucheau, known for her vibrant, all-ages work like The Loud House comics, is penning the script. This marks an intriguing genre shift for the artist-turned-writer. John Amor joins her on art and main cover duties. Dynamite CEO Nick Barrucci hypes Ganucheau's script as "incredible," insisting this issue will elevate the entire franchise.
The 48-page special will explore what forces could possibly drive the brothers apart. Details on the subsequent "event" comic are expected at San Diego Comic-Con 2026. And for collectors, each $5.99 issue comes in a blind bag, offering a random selection of three exclusive variant covers. It's an unusual tactic for an issue so far out, but signals Dynamite's big plans for the long-running franchise.

Catzye Take
The 2026 release date for this Supernatural comic is certainly unexpected and gives fans a long time to speculate. What's interesting is Paulina Ganucheau's involvement, hinting at a fresh take on the Winchester brothers' world. Fans will definitely want to keep an eye on San Diego Comic-Con 2026 for more event details.
