First Look! Supernatural's Graphic New Stories
by Ileane Rudolph

Supernatural: Rising Son
There are only four episodes of Supernatural to go before the writers' strike puts the demon-hunting Winchester brothers on hiatus. But fans of the CW spookfest will get to enjoy the show in an alternative format this spring when WildStorm, an imprint of DC Comics, launches Supernatural: Rising Son, a six-issue miniseries. Following up on last year's well-received Supernatural: Origins, this new arc debuts April 23. Set a few years after Origins, the story picks up with an 11-year-old Dean and a seven-year-old Sam traveling with their father John. "Whereas the first series was more about John and his becoming a hunter, this one's much more of a dysfunctional family story," explains writer Peter Johnson, who's also a co-executive producer on the TV show. "We're really going to explore the differences between Sam and Dean in this one. Dean is becoming aware of what his dad's up to and we'll see him training and hunting a little bit, while John will start to key in on something different about Sam."

Johnson says readers should expect "freakier monsters," including "some bad ass female villains and a big bad villain that may have something to do with the TV show." Some familiar faces, including fellow hunter Bobby, also show up. There's a different artist this time around, Diego Olmos (Manhunter), known for his detail and facial expressiveness, but the writer's strike has temporarily sidelined Supernatural showrunner Eric Kripke, who had major input in Origins.

A third series is in the planning stages, which, Johnson hints, could bring the story right up to the TV show's pilot. And here's some more good news: a trade paperback collection of Origins will be published in April and "there will be slight tweaks in the collected version," Johnson reveals. "I was sensitive to a lot of fan feedback that the Impala [the show's signature automobile], in my story, was something John picked up on the road. That did not sit well with the fans, so I decided to make an editorial change, so that the Impala is already in the Winchester family when the series opens."

Most Trade Paper Backs get new cover art.


They are launching a new series this spring. Posted the details in a new topic here. I only started a new topic because the series has a new title, different creative team, new direction and it takes place a few years later. If you wnt the info in this topic if a mod could delete my new topic and put the info here, that's fine with me.

Folie

Thanks for this!



Looks good

Thanks for that info!

Those look great! I think they look better than the drawings for Origins, John looks better.. I also love how the boys look on the Cover.. I'm really excited for these ones, I think I'm going to like them better than Origins b/c the boys are older and they'll be in the comics more, I'm looking forward to some cute weechester moments!

Tennessee Whiskey

Ooh I'm excited about this. thank you for the info and pics.

Folie

You know I'm thinking they could also do a fourth series were they follow John during the S1 time period... and give us a glimpse to what he was up too then.
Now that I would be dead interested to know!
But what am I talking about... they probably already have that in mind

You can get a glimpse of an original scetch of the new cover here.
Thanks to kayim over at Lj for the heads up!

Tennessee Whiskey

Great idea Folie! Since we didn't get filled in at all really about what he was doing when the series started.

Thanks for the link.

Mei Zhuo

thanks for the links guys! 'm so excited about this, the new cover looks so awesome!

Folie, that'll be a great fourth series, who knows, they might push through with that

Tennessee Whiskey

The comics seem to be doing well so they just might.

Folie

I'm sure they've thought about it...
It makes sence after all, no? Especially if the timeline of the third series leads up to the pilot.
As Bee said the first series went well enough to grant the other two, but I guess it depends on how good those two do.

Mei Zhuo

Probably, but I really hope they consider it, that would be a great insight

Folie

And it's also the natural progression of the comic book series the way they've decided to narate it timewise.
