Supernatural #1

by Greg Pak, Eder Messias (Artist), Thyago Brandão (Color Artist)

THE BROTHERS WINCHESTER RETURN!

Get ready to hit the road again with Dean and Sam as they prowl the highways and byways of small-town America in search of demonic wrongdoing to put right!

Set between the foundational first and second seasons of the landmark television series, this brand-new title from acclaimed author GREG PAK (Darth Vader, Lilo & Stitch) and preternaturally gifted artist EDER MESSIAS (Sam Captain America) brings readers back to where the dark magic first began — and reveals a disturbing new threat that the bickering brothers will have to face before they can return to hunting down the demon who killed their mother.t

In this first issue, the monster hunters must uncover the entity responsible for a series of mysterious fires in a decaying rust belt town — attacks that begin with a Windler Industries factory burning down, and then escalate to several Windler employees themselves going up in flames. But finding the malevolent force behind the otherworldly arsons may not be as straightforward as it might seem — especially once the suspiciously well-prepared CEO Steff Windler gets personally involved!

Featuring atmospherically arresting covers from CLAYTON CRAIN, DAVID COUSENS, and EDER MESSIAS, each issue of Supernatural also includes a special PHOTO cover showcasing the beloved cast of the hit show!

Twas a vibe. Of course it’s only issue #1. Art is better than the one published by dc.

3.5 stars. Free Comic Day 2026. Never watched the Supernatural TV show but I found myself caught up in this. Two brothers out here chasing demons and ghosts and what not. Solid art. I could read more of this. Felt like a TV episode.

read supernatural #1-10 and the specials (Valentine’s Day, Castiel special and Wayward)

very excited for the next sam and dean solo runs!

[Luthien · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’m loving the banter, the dynamic, and that perfect sweet spot between Season 1 and 2. The monster-of-the-week was good, and honestly? They really sound like Sam and Dean.
I only died a little inside when they called John’s journal “Dad’s notebook” 😅

Reads like an episode 😀👍

no tengo mucho q decir ya q es un comic un poco corto en mi opinión. tal vez es q vengo acostumbrada a los de atla q son 80pags mínimo y cuentan una historia más completa cada uno. sin embargo se me hizo chistoso aunq un poquito confuso. el estilo de dibujo tampoco me convence mucho pero no es algo malo en sí

sam con una ballesta 🙏 ojalá la serie fuera menos pistolas y machetes y más flechas y así

honestamente sí se sintieron como sam y dean pero un poco como q no... es raro, no sé. solamente había algo off acá. el diálogo estuvo curiosito, además pq llamarías 'dad's notebook' al JOURNAL de john tipo nunca en la vida lo habían llamado de otra forma fue un cambio muy ??

otra cosa es q no estoy segura de dónde se supone q toma lugar esta historia, porq sam menciona q ni saben dónde está john pero se supone q es entre s1 y s2? al final de s1 ya habían encontrado a john (sin mencionar q entre s1 y s2 hay un total de 5min so...) pero bueno supongo q lo ignoraremos

The story is pretty good. However, Dean does NOT look like Dean to me! Sam’s portrayal is acceptable.

[Shelby Loren · Rating 2 out of 5]

2.5 stars. Story was fine, but characterizations were a little off. Dialogue was...interesting

[F. P. · Rating 3.5 out of 5]

Dean making eyes at and talking about coming onto one woman after another in this is off-putting, but the story’s pretty good; it’s light.

I don’t know if Dean’s going to be doing that in the next one, so I probably won’t bother continuing with this series. I wonder if he did the same thing in the TV show, and that was why I didn’t care for it, although paranormal shows weren’t my thing in general.

My original comment: I could never really get into the show for some reason, but I've been wanting to try the comic. I borrowed this from comixology. They've gotten some new things, or at least are promoting books other than the same-old ones. I do get disappointed that the selection there doesn't seem to change much....

For anyone wanting to dive into content reminiscent of the early seasons of the Supernatural TV series, this comic is excellent. The author did a good job capturing the brothers' dynamics and the paranormal vibes of the show. However, the story did feel a bit rushed and bare bones for me; I missed seeing the boys getting to investigate more about a case before determining what's behind the issues and the reasoning behind certain individual(s)'s behavior. Also felt weird for Baby, the Chevrolet Impala, to be put aside so quickly at the beginning of this series.

[Elle · Rating 2 out of 5]

it's giving parody, and not on purpose. Also the victim's name switches between Ritchie and Bobby, which is confusing. But Effie... Idk why, but I'm love her. Also when (WHEN!) is someone going to let a woman draw sam and dean in one of these comics, because no offense, but boys can't do it right! Neither of them are pretty enough AT ALL. Give Dean back his lips and eyelashes, you cowards.

[Jason rainwater · Rating 4 out of 5]

I guess it's fine

Interesting premise. Set between seasons one and two is an interesting choice. I'm curious to see if this was the setup for a long-term antagonist, that we're just discovering or a one in done story?
They'll get another issue or two out of me.

[Cassidy Renee · Rating 3 out of 5]

I am...debatably interested. The writing was a bit sloppy and the characterization was a bit weird, but I think the biggest problem right now is it not having a confirmed place in the timeline. The art was nice though, so I'm willing to see how it goes in volume 2.

[Stacey Eaton · Rating 3 out of 5]

Never read comics but love supernatural

As stated, I do not read comics, but have been a long time fan of supernatural. This was a great way to revisit the characters. Loved it and will continue to buy the series.

[Chad · Rating 1 out of 5]

Picked this up from Free Comic Book Day and it was horrible. The characterizations were off. The art was awful. The story was boring. Not sure why they started all the way over at the beginning either when they were tracking the yellow-eyed demon.

[Carly · Rating 3 out of 5]

this might get me to finally start season 11.

[Samuel E. Farrell III · Rating 5 out of 5]

great to see them back

Love the banter and story. Very grounded to the tv show. A must for fans. Can’t wait to see baby.

[Debria · Rating 5 out of 5]

So excited to read this series!!! Now its time to rewatch the show for the 12th time between releases!

[Arjun Rajkumar · Rating 3 out of 5]

Standard fare, decent art decent story arc

[Dean · Rating 3 out of 5]

the first issue was quite a good early episode of the show. a person who is happy trading their soul for profit.

the second issue was read and had four artists of differing styles and quality.

[Ernez · Rating 3 out of 5]

Honestly a bit hard to get into it. It almost...didn't read like Dean. Sam was fine.

[morg 🩵 · Rating 3 out of 5]

It’s a cute introduction back into the comic-verse of Supernatural…soooo 2005!!

[Dante:) · Rating 3 out of 5]

The humor is aright but it’s missing something

[Dew · Rating 5 out of 5]

My pookies… ofc they’d fight to see who would give up their souls to hell.

[Matthew Barth · Rating 4 out of 5]
