Fuelled by the return of the Man of Action team, the new Ben 10 comic run has become an overnight phenomenon. Sales only grew with issue #2. In issue #3, we reunite with Diamondhead.
Published by Dynamite Entertainment, the Ben 10 comic reboot is a very exciting prospect for fans of the franchise — and readers have been flocking to it. Sure, the comics are not quite a Cartoon Network reboot, but the series brings back together original creators Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, Duncan Rouleau, and Steven T. Seagle for the first time in 16 years. It’s a series shrouded in authenticity, made by those who first ushered the series onto our screens.
The reboot takes canon in a slightly different direction, updating the concept for modern audiences, taking a more straightforward, action-oriented approach. “Ben 10 is obviously very close to our hearts, and has been for the last twenty years,” Casey said of the series. “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.”
When issue #1 debuted in May, it was quickly embraced by readers. In fact, according to a report from ICv2 (which you should definitely check out for a more detailed breakdown of figures), Final orders ended up with over 80,000 copies. Taking into account overprints, retailer editions and blind bags, Ben 10 #1 sold over 112,000 copies. Issue #2 has garnered similar hype ahead of its launch on June 10.
Now we have our first look at Ben 10 #3 ahead of its debut on July 8. Before we get to those preview pages, check out the official description for issue #3 below:
With the army hot on his trail, Ben struggles to control his different transformations – but can any of them defeat the horrific Kraab?!

The definitive Ben 10 series continues courtesy of Man of Action’s Joe Casey and artist of valor Robert Carey! This issue features the debut of fan-favorite alien DIAMONDHEAD!
