Following the Free Comic Book Day offering, Dynamite Entertainment announced the new ongoing Johnny Quest series by Joe Casey and Sebastian Piriz.
According to Dynamite Entertainment, the first issue kicks off right where the original 1964 animated series ended.
“The hope is that we’re maintaining the bouncy spirit of the original TV show,” said series writer Joe Casey. “From one episode to the next, Jonny Quest always had a particular dramatic rhythm that was completely unique. We want our book to have that same kind of vibe. Plus, the fact that Benton and Jonny are father and son automatically makes this a generational story. We’re taking that angle and really running with it, taking that specific generational aspect to the extreme in ways that, we think, deepen the characters and give them the proper amount of gravitas that we demand from our beloved genre fiction.”
Johnny Quest #1 is scheduled to arrive in August 2024.
