Supernatural: Rising Son

January 17, 2008 · 13 Comments

Banking on the success of the Supernatural: Origins comic series from Wildstorm (DC Comics), Peter Johnson (co Rising Sonexecutive producer of the TV show) has decided to dial up the Winchester boys again for a new set of adventures.   Starting April 23rd, Wildstrom will publish a new six-issue miniseries call Supernatural: Rising Son.  This series picks up a few years after Origins takes place.  John is now training 11-year-old Dean to hunt and discovering some of seven-year-old Sam’s uniqueness.

Peter describes this arc as a dysfunctional-family story whereas Origins explored John’s rise and development as a hunter.   At 11, Dean starts to discover that his dad is more than a dad – he’s a hunter of evil.  If you thought your family was dysfunctional, I bet after checking in with the Winchesters your perception will change.  

The Winchester boys are back and you know what that means — fire/brimstone adventure.  Hang on and enjoy the ride!
