STITCH (2025)

THE GALAXY'S MOST DANGEROUS (AND ADORABLE) WEAPON RETURNS! Dr. Jumba Jookiba, the scientist responsible for releasing the blue-furred phenomenon known as Stitch onto an unsuspecting galaxy, is in danger of losing his membership in E.G.G.S. - the Evil Genius Group-slash-Syndicate. With all the time that he's been spending on Earth, Dr. Jumba hasn't earned enough Villain Points to re-up next year. And while he no longer considers himself fully 'evil,' he really wants to stay in E.G.G.S. - mainly for their great dental plan, and complimentary intergalactic travel lounges. What's a morally flexible genius to do? Why, create a series of evil inventions in an attempt to remain qualified, of course! There's just one problem (well, two, if you count Pleakley's vain attempts to rein in the good doctor): Stitch is a wild card that Jumba can never properly account for in his calculations - and the fuzzy little ball of chaos finds a way to ruin every one of his brilliant inventions! Acclaimed writers/comedians/podcasters CONNOR RATLIFF and JAMES III (Tiny Dinos, Dead Eyes, Young Dylan, All That) join forces with otherworldly artist GRETA XELLA to bring Earthlings everywhere the all-new adventures of Lilo's irrepressible pet - featuring singularly celebratory covers from EDWIN GALMON, JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG, CIRO CANGIALOSI, and JENNIFER L. MEYER!

When you're a renowned scientist like Dr. Jumba, it's important not to rest on your laurels. And one of the best ways to avoid getting stuck in a rut is to try out new ideas the odder the better! With that in mind, the good doctor and Agent Pleakley are ready to test out Jumba's latest scheme an invention that lets Stitch and Lilo switch bodies! Unfortunately, there's still a few bugs in their New-Fangled Doohickey™, and in short order Stitch's consciousness is hopping through every body in the vicinity, up to and including the Grand Councilwoman! Can the same brain trust that unleashed the malfunctioning device figure out how to fix it before everyone is mind-swapped into chaos? Find out in the second frenetic issue of Stitch, from the telepathically linked team of writers CONNOR RATLIFF and JAMES III (Tiny Dinos, Dead Eyes, Young Dylan, All That) and artist GRETA XELLA featuring extrasensory covers from EDWIN GALMON, JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG, CIRO CANGIALOSI, and JENNIFER L. MEYER!

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR! It’s not easy being the sole United Galactic Federation agent in charge of containing the chaotic impulses of Dr. Jumba. As a certified evil genius, the mad scientist is constantly testing the limits of Agent Pleakley’s patience — and his sanity! In fact, if Dr. Jumba were to disappear altogether, Pleakley’s life would improve dramatically. Coincidentally enough, Dr. Jumba’s latest invention can make that happen. In fact, it can make anything happen! It’s a bona fide wish-granting device, like something out of a fairy tale — or in this case, a cautionary tale. Agent Pleakley is about to learn the hard way that there’s no such thing as a free lunch — even when you own the restaurant! The scripting tag team of CONNOR RATLIFF and JAMES III join artist GRETA XELLA to make readers’ wishes come true in Stitch #3 — featuring fulfilling covers from EDWIN GALMON, JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG, CIRO CANGIALOSI, and GEORGE KAMBADAIS!

STITCH OPENS A REAL CAN OF WORM(HOLE)S! Sure, the universe is pretty big, and it’s got a lot of things to see — but why limit yourself to just one universe if you don’t have to? That’s the question that Dr. Jumba poses to Agent Pleakley when he reveals his latest (somewhat) evil invention — the wormhole punch! Capable of piercing the fabric of reality itself, this diabolical device that looks an awful lot like a fishing rod is clearly too dangerous a contraption to be allowed to fall into the wrong hands — like, for example, the blue, furry hands of a certain biological experiment who has recently learned how to fish. Not worry, though — we’re sure that Jumba and Pleakley will be able to reel Stitch in before the spacetime continuum is completely compromised! The infinitely recurring creative team of CONNOR RATLIFF, JAMES III, and GRETA XELLA continue bending the laws of physics in Stitch #4 — featuring gravitationally attractive covers from EDWIN GALMON, JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG, CIRO CANGIALOSI, and GEORGE KAMBADAIS!

WELCOME TO SCRUMP WORLD! Lilo’s beloved doll Scrump takes center stage when Dr. Jumba “borrows” her for a new experiment. As part of his research into novel avenues of scientific villainy (purely theoretical, of course!), Jumba wires Scrump up to a new device designed to turn his enemies into dolls. It’s a simple proof-of-concept procedure with no real risks — but considering that Stitch is loose in the lab, maybe Jumba shouldn’t have made the button that says “DO NOT PRESS!” quite so big, red, and shiny! In the aftermath, Jumba, Agent Pleakley, and Stitch find themselves pondering new lives as adorably undersized playthings while a newly mobile (and considerably enlarged) Scrump heads out to see the world. But how far-reaching are the effects of Jumba’s latest technological breakthrough? And more important: are they reversible? Discover the surprising answers in STITCH #5, from creative action figures CONNOR RATLIFF, JAMES III, and GRETA XELLA — featuring backing card covers from EDWIN GALMON, JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG, CIRO CANGIALOSI, and GEORGE KAMBADAIS!

TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES! When Dr. Jumba learns about humanity’s nuanced outlook on verbal deception — including white lies, fibbing, and bald-faced lying — he sees a golden opportunity for the kind of evil scheme that will finally get him reinstated at E.G.G.S (the intergalactic Evil Genius Group-slash-Syndicate). After a feverish night of work, he reveals his masterpiece: a robot suit for Stitch that sniffs out lies — all lies — and compels everyone to tell the truth! The chaos that results is beyond his wildest dreams — and just as he hoped, E.G.G.S. quickly takes notice. But can anyone — even the galaxy’s most powerful association of organized evil — really withstand a constant barrage of unvarnished veracity?Find out in Stitch #6, the greatest comic book ever created (would we lie to you?) — featuring words by CONNOR RATLIFF and JAMES III, art by GRETA XELLA, and covers by EDWIN GALMON, Jae Lee, CIRO CANGIALOSI, and GEORGE KAMBADAIS!

BEHOLD — THE TOWER OF BUBBLE! In his never-ending quest to discover new avenues for his evil schemes, Dr. Jumba realizes that there’s a huge reservoir of untapped potential all around him in the world’s oceans — if only its inhabitants could communicate with us “Dry Landers.” Animated by this inspiration, the bad doctor quickly creates a submersible machine that grants all marine dwellers the power of speech — only to have it hijacked by the irrepressible Experiment 626! As Stitch rides the Basic Underwater Translator into the briny deep, a thousand new conversations bloom in his wake (including some disconcerting discussions among disparate dolphin factions). And while Jumba and Pleakley race to recapture his rogue invention, this chatty new life aquatic is about to make its presence known — both above and below the surface! Amphibious authors CONNOR RATLIFF and JAMES III join artist GRETA XELLA for the ultimate undersea adventure in Stitch #7 — featuring fully submersible covers by EDWIN GALMON, JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG, CIRO CANGIALOSI, and GEORGE KAMBADAIS!

ARE WE THERE YET? ARE WE THERE YET? ARE WE THERE YET? Dr. Jumba thinks that he’s hit upon the perfect quasi-evil plan when he opens an amusement park that features a lovable, blue-furred mascot which he can use to transmit his future schemes into an adoring public’s impressionable brains. But when the original Experiment 626 takes it upon himself to bring Stitch Land’s overly ambitious designs to life, the resulting “attractions” threaten to trap Jumba, Pleakley, and an unlucky focus group of innocent civilians in a never-ending cycle of fun — and danger! Season pass holders CONNOR RATLIFF and JAMES III line up with artist GRETA XELLA for the ride of a lifetime in Stitch #8 — featuring impressively immersive covers by EDWIN GALMON, JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG, CIRO CANGIALOSI, and GEORGE KAMBADAIS!

A new story arc begins from the hyper-creative team of writers Connor Ratliff and James III and artist Greta Xella! Stitch visits a planet that is all dogs, living in harmony. By the time he leaves, he has disrupted their dog society and they are all! Riled! Up!

Uh oh! Remember how Stitch actually has four arms, but he usually hides two of them? Well, the other two arms are back…and now they’re EVIL! Can Stitch talk his arms into being good, when (famously) arms can’t even hear!?
