Ben 10 is one of the most-loved animated sci-fi series of the naughties. Now, the series is returning in comics, reuniting original creators Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, Duncan Rouleau, and Steven T. Seagle as part of the creative team.
Published by Dynamite Entertainment, the Ben 10 comic reboot is a very exciting prospect for fans of the franchise. Sure, it’s not quite a Cartoon Network reboot, but the upcoming comic series brings back together original creators Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, Duncan Rouleau, and Steven T. Seagle for the first time in 16 years. “We Guarantee, this is the best that Ben 10 has ever been,” said Casey.
The reboot takes canon in a slightly different direction. Per the official press release, this inventive new phase of Ben 10, Casey, Carey, and company are taking a more straightforward, action-oriented approach. The beloved animated series exists for fans who grew up with it and for future generations to continue discovering it. This comic series will update the concept for modern audiences, while of course being drawn with the boundless potential of the comics form, opening up a wider range of tones to tap into, from the emotional to the surreal, across drama, comedy, and tragedy.
“Ben 10 is obviously very close to our hearts, and has been for the last twenty years,” said initial series writer Joe Casey. “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.”
This reboot will be familiar in so many aspects, but will undoubtedly surprise long-time fans in new and exciting ways. The series launches in February 2026. Will you be picking it up? Tell us in the comments down below!
