The power is yours on April 23rd! Dynamite Comics is teaming up with David Pepose (Space Ghost, Cable) and Eman Casallos (Vampirella, Pathfinder) to bring you the first Captain Planet series in over 3 decades! Best of all they are aiming for Earth Day to release the first issue that will be printed on 70% recycled paper, following suit with the publisher’s past periodicals. Join us and the Planeteers here at the Yeti Cave for a special sneak peek at issue 1 as well as the variant covers down below!
Kwame from Ghana wields the power of Earth.
Wheeler hails from the United States and channels Fire.
Linka’s origins are in Russia and she can manipulate Wind.
Gi traces back to South Korea and can control Water.
Ma-Ti is from Brazil and uses Heart.
Writer – David Pepose
Artist – Eman Casallos
With their powers combined, they summon Earth’s greatest champion: Captain Planet.
But they need to learn to trust each other first.
Gaia, the latest High Priestess of the Earth has been kidnapped! Our Planeteers are forced to come together against the newly formed might of Lucian Plunder! Even with Captain Planet on their side, will it be enough to save the very Earth itself?!?
“Every comic creator has their own personal white whale — that singular property they’ve been itching to make their mark on — and for more than a decade Captain Planet has been mine,” said writer David Pepose.
The first six issues will also feature a special connecting set of covers by Jae Lee and June Chung.
CAPTAIN PLANET #1 will be solicited in Diamond Comic Distributors’ February 2025 Previews catalog, the premier source of merchandise for the comic book specialty market, and slated for release in April 2025. It will also be available for individual customer purchase through digital platforms courtesy of Comixology, Kindle, iBooks, Google Play, Dynamite Digital, ComicsPlus, and more!
