Warning! Spoilers ahead for Supernatural #1!
Supernatural is returning to its roots, with a new comic story set during Season 1 of the longrunning horror-action series. Sam and Dean are young again, and just starting out on their demon-hunting journey, in an arc that can shed more light on how they came to be the iconic duo fans love today.
Supernatural #1 is written by Grek Pak, with art by Eder Messias. The preview for the issue starts with the familiar grisly imagery of someone bursting into flames, before cutting to the Winchester brothers.
Already, the new comic series is teasing a connection to the franchise’s OG villain, Azazel, or the “Yellow-Eyes Demon” in its debut storyline.
Supernatural Returns To Season One To Deliver More Classic Sam And Dean Action
Supernatural #1, Written By Grek Pak; Art By Eder Messias; Available October 29, 2025 From Dynamite Entertainment
At its core, Supernatural is about the relationship between Sam and Dean Winchester. As expansive and sprawling as the franchise’s mythology became as it progressed, its universe always fundamentally revolved around Sam and Dean. The new Supernatural comic series returns to a simpler time in the brothers’ history, when they had no idea the extent of the horrors in store for them.
Or at least, when they’re starting to get an idea. In Supernatural #1, Sam is still processing the trauma of losing his girlfriend Jess; the issue flashes back to the nightmarish moment at the end of the show’s pilot episode, in which Jess shared the Winchester boys’ mother’s fate, pinned to the ceiling by an unknown force and set ablaze.
The similar spontaneous combustion of a seemingly unrelated character just beforehand suggests that the Supernatural comic’s story is going to tie into the early seasons’ Azazel storyline in some way. Or, alternatively, it’s possible that it, at least, it will tease the antagonist’s presence, considering where Dynamite Entertainment’s new Supernatural comics are situated in the series’ overall timeline.
Sam And Dean’s Dynamic Is The Driving Force Behind Supernatural, And The New Comic Prioritizes The Protagonists
Supernatural Fans Are Eager For More Season 1-Era Adventures
By going back to Season 1, Supernatural is giving fans more of what they want, first and foremost: Sam and Dean’s dynamic. As much as the preview for Supernatural #1 makes it clear the series isn’t going to shy away from the franchise’s trademark horror imagery, its true highlight is the brothers’ banter, which feels straight out of Season 1.
Author Greg Pak is a pro, and this teaser for Supernatural #1 confirms that he already has a firm grasp on the main characters’ voices. This suggests that Supernatural’s return to its earliest era is going to be a gratifying experience for fans who have missed the OG versions of Sam and Dean.
Supernatural #1 will be available October 29, 2025 from Dynamite Entertainment.
