For 2000s kids, was a staple of many of our childhoods, so when the iconic duo returned in 2026 with its blockbuster live-action adaptation, to say we were excited would be an understatement. This movie also introduced Lilo and Stitch to a brand-new generation of kids, further solidifying its legacy. Now that legacy continues to grow in 2026 with a brand-new series.
Lilo & Stitch saw a resurgence in popularity thanks to Disney’s live-action adaptation of the legendary franchise, with the film claiming the fourth-highest gross box office sales worldwide with an impressive $1,038,027,526 in sales. This resurgence had a butterfly effect and has seen a resurgence of Lilo & Stitch in other media, with one of the latest being the announcement of Dynamite Entertainment’s , a three-issue comic series that features the extended (and fan-loved) family and friends of Lilo & Stitch.
Lilo & Stitch fans will remember that “626” refers to Stitch, as he was originally called “Experiment 626” by his creator, Dr. Jumba Jookiba.

The second story, by writer and artist George Kambadais, will follow Captain Gantu as he finds himself going solo on an Old West-style planet where he’ll encounter dangerous criminals from his past. And if the issue spotlighting these two wasn’t enough to convince you to buy the issue, then the special MYSTERY VARIANT BLIND BAG just might.
The first 32-page issue will be sold at comic shops for $4.99 and will feature a special mystery variant blind bag containing one limited edition of the issue selected randomly from a range of covers exclusive to this offering. However, fans should keep in mind that the number of Blind Bags is limited, and allocations may occur.

Dynamite has also released the solicitation for Lilo & Stitch: 626, which will be spearheaded by the creative team of Jeff Parker, Edwin Galmon, and Elisa Pochetta. The synopsis for this issue teases the return to Stitch’s fear of swimming and Lilo’s determination to make him conquer this fear and learn how to swim, even if there’s “a giant squid monster hungry for aliens” involved.
The second story in this issue will “head back to a time when evil scientist Dr. Jumba Jookiba was first testing out his destructive creation, Experiment-626.” With it confirmed that Agent Cobra Bubbles, Captain Gantu, and Jumba are starring in three of the short stories, it’s clear that Dynamite will truly be spotlighting some of the most beloved characters of the Lilo & Stitch franchise, making it a must-read.
