If you’re a fan of Supernatural, you’ll likely agree that the first couple of seasons were the Golden Era for Sam and Dean Winchester, focusing on small-town monster hunting with a different creature each week. Now, Supernatural’s new series marks a return to the show’s greatest era.
For those unaware, Sam and Dean Winchester have returned in a brand-new comic series that launched this October with its first issue. Written by Greg Pak and illustrated by Eder Messias, Dynamite’s ongoing Supernatural comic series is set to release its third installment on December 17, 2025.

With only two issues out so far, the series has already distinguished itself by returning the franchise to peak form. Set between the first and second seasons of the TV show, this new chapter brings back the elements that made Supernatural a cult favorite, delivering everything fans loved about the original series.

While opinions may vary, most Supernatural fans agree that Seasons 1–5 were the show’s golden era, with Season 5 praised for its epic Apocalypse storyline and perfect finale, Swan Song. What made the early seasons so beloved, however, were the largely self-contained stories that focused on small-town monster hunting, giving the show a mix of suspense and humor.
Dynamite’s Supernatural comic, set between Seasons 1 and 2, hits a sweet spot for fans, letting them relive the series’ golden years with brand-new content. Greg Pak’s first two issues have already proven to capture the feel of a true Season 1.5, blending nostalgia with fresh storytelling that honors what made the original show such a beloved phenomenon.

For fans looking to relive Supernatural’s golden years but hesitant to rewatch the show for the fifth time, Dynamite’s comic series is a no-brainer. Issues #1 and #2 capture the feel of an original episode, presenting simple yet engaging mysteries that resolve neatly while retaining the charm, humor, and suspense that made the early seasons so memorable.
This is a major win for fans who felt disconnected from the later seasons, where storylines became overly complex, focusing on angels vs. demons, and world-ending events rather than the beloved monster-of-the-week adventures. For anyone craving a true Supernatural experience, the comic series delivers that perfect balance of nostalgia and fresh storytelling.
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!
Supernatural #1 & #2 are now available from DYNAMITE!
