Get ready for a new adventure with LILO & STITCH as the irrepressible pair launch their very first ongoing comic series, brought to you by superstar writer GREG PAK (Darth Vader, Mech Cadets) and artist GIULIA GIACOMINO!
Life seems to have calmed down for Experiment 626 and his new family on Earth - at least until evil aliens come hunting for everyone's favorite blue-furred troublemaker. The kicker? They're using giant robots that are powered by Stitch's own DNA! Will Lilo's beloved pet be able to take on these villains and lead them away from his adopted planet and loved ones? And even if he succeeds, will he be able to find his way more
Artist and colorist Giulia Giacomino is nothing short of a revelation. Her art and designs are faithful to the Disney aesthetic, while depicting the characters with her own style and personality. The designs of the villainous Cluster Sovereign and their robotic shark minions strike the right balance of adorable and menacing. I mean, robot sharks are awesome in any medium, especially when theyre none-too-bright. Giacominos layouts keep the story flowing nicely, although there are some panels near the end that seem a bit disjointed when leading to the splash page that suddenly ends the issue. A minor quibble in a book that otherwise looks fantastic. Read Full Review

Lilo and Stitch #1 is a nice start to the series. While not the strongest Disney comic debut of the bunch, it captures what I know of the property well. It feels like it's just having fun delivering an adventure that'll take the characters to unexpected placed and in unexpected locations. Fans of the characters won't want to miss this and kids will have a lot of fun with it. Read Full Review
Lilo and Stitch #1 may distract and amuse very young readers seeking more of the titular character, but those reading it to them or seeking more from the form of children's comics (and literature) will be left wanting. Read Full Review
Very nice concept. Does anyone know what period this takes place?
