It's Hero Time! Ben 10 Returns with New Comics by the Original Creators
Fans of the Omnitrix bearer, get ready! The acclaimed Ben 10 franchise is officially back, but in a way that may surprise many. The news that is shaking up the geek universe is the return of the original creators, the Man of Action collective, for a new comic book series.
After years of speculation, rumors about new animations and even live-action projects that didn't make any headway, confirmation has come to the delight of fans longing for new adventures of Ben Tennyson. The announcement, made at the beginning of October 2025, revealed a partnership between Man of Action and the publisher Dynamite Entertainment for the production of a new line of comics.
The project promises to be a "Definitive Ben 10", delving deep into the hero's mythology. The original creative team, made up of Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, Duncan Rouleau and Steven T. Seagle, is back to ensure that the essence that made the series a global success is maintained. According to the creators, the idea is to deliver the best version of the character ever seen, competing directly with the big superhero titles on the market.
This new comic book series is scheduled for release in February 2026. While the news has been celebrated, it also manages the expectations of fans waiting for a new animated series or a movie. For now, Man of Action's focus is on expanding Ben 10's universe in the pages, with the promise of delivering an "Absolute" vision of the hero.
The reboot of the animated series, which ended in 2021, left a gap for fans of the character. Since then, the internet has been a fertile ground for theories and discussions about the future of the franchise, especially with the 20-year anniversary of the original series in 2025. The confirmation of the comics is the first concrete and official step towards the return of Ben, Gwen and Grandpa Max to new and exciting stories.
