Supernatural, the famous ghost-hunting saga, has gained a new chapter in comics that is stirring up fans in January 2026. Written by Greg Pak and published by Dynamite Entertainment, the third issue of the series brings a major innovation by featuring the art of five different artists: Eder Messias, Alessandro Rannadi, Vincenzo Federici, Gerardo Gambone, and Pasquale Qualano. Meanwhile, the Winchester brothers Sam and Dean continue their journey across the United States, but this time the story abandons the “single-issue” format of the first numbers and introduces a cliffhanger, which promises more continuity and development for the upcoming chapters. The relevance lies precisely in this narrative and artistic boldness, which tests the limits of the monthly comic and debates whether certain art styles fit specific characters.
The comic’s plot revolves around a villain who interprets Mary Shelley’s work literally, causing chaos and leading the Winchesters to investigate clues about the demonic murder of their mother. In this way, Greg Pak blends supernatural horror with an intelligent literary plot, full of references that will please the nerdiest fans. Furthermore, colorist Ellie Wright and letterer Jeff Eckleberry complete the team, ensuring a cohesive visual experience despite the variety of styles. Therefore, this issue stands out not only for the story but for the courage to experiment, making it a fundamental chapter for those following the adventures of the hunter brothers.
A Spotlight on the Artistic Team
The mix of artistic styles is, without a doubt, the most discussed point of this issue. While Eder Messias opens the magazine with an impactful prologue, the other artists take on later sequences, each with their unique vision. However, the transition between them can slightly break the reader’s immersion, as mentioned in the original CBR analysis. Despite this, the work of Vincenzo Federici, known for Jennifer Blood and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, receives praise for adapting well to the story’s tone. In other words, Dynamite bets on visual diversity, but the result is somewhat uneven, raising the discussion about harmonizing styles within the same narrative.
Another interesting aspect is the introduction of the original villainess Steff Windler, who masters both magic and technology. Thanks to this, she becomes a versatile and unpredictable threat, allowing the writer to explore various types of conflicts without being tied to pre-established continuities. With more appearances expected, she is set to become a central pivot in the upcoming issues. The Winchesters’ encounter with a book club that also fights evil offers a fun and nerdy counterpoint, in a subtle homage to groups like Mystery Inc. In this way, the comic balances bloody action with moments of humor and self-discovery, maintaining the spirit of the original series that won over millions of fans in Brazil and around the world.
