In news that is sure to excite anyone who grew up in the 2000s, Ben 10 is back, and this time he's transforming into a comic book character. A new Ben 10 comic series is one of many new titles and franchises announced by Dynamite Entertainment at the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con.

The new Ben 10 series is part of a partnership between Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Along with other exciting and nostalgic titles announced by Dynamite at SDCC, such as Captain Planet and Dynomutt, it seems the modern world of comics is truly embracing the past. Regarding its new Ben 10 franchise, Dynamite Entertainment calls it a "full circle moment for Ben, as the beloved character and world were created and developed by the Man of Action Entertainment collective. This group was founded by four comic book luminaries in Joe Kelly, Joe Casey, Steven T. Seagle, and Duncan Rouleau."

The creative team and release date for the new Ben 10 series from Dynamite has not yet been revealed, but it is expected to arrive later in 2024.

Ben 10 Makes His Comic Debut

Ben 10 was an Emmy-award winning Cartoon Network original that aired from 2005-2008, followed by a series of acclaimed sequels featuring an older Ben and a wider universe. Ben 10 follows a young boy with an extraterrestrial device named the Omnitrix, which contains the DNA of 10 different aliens that Ben can transform into when the need arises. With escapades like his defense of earth against rival aliens, his protection of his family, and even the mystery of the Omnitrix, Ben 10 is perfect for an adaptation into the world of comics.

Fans can expect to see some original Ben 10 or after one of its many television sequels remains to be seen. In any case, aliens will be coming to comics, and there just might be some new aliens added to the roster, with unexpected powers.

Ben 10 Scratches That Nostalgia Itch While Providing Something New

In the tumult of Disney live-action remakes and unnecessary sequels (and threequels), it's nice to have a piece of nostalgia that isn't just fan-service. Ben 10 holds a key place in the hearts of many '90s and 2000s kid who loved looking up at the stars and imagining not only aliens but being able to become a part of their adventures. The world has already seen Ben 10 actualized in live-action fan-art, but it's time to see him make his comic book debut.

Dynamite's Ben 10 will surely provide that necessary piece of Cartoon Network nostalgia while also delivering a solid storyline for those cartoon-watching kids all grown up and ready to see the next chapter in their favorite story. From alien fights to new transformations, Ben 10 promises to be the next big comic book adaptation of the year - maybe even paving the way for other comic book adaptations down the road.
