Dean Winchester’s Supernatural Spinoff Keeps Getting Better With Its New Orleans Hunt

A New Era for the Brothers

Dynamite began this comic-book era in 2025 with Greg Pak’s 10-part Supernatural series, which has since ended. A Supernatural Special: Wayward one-shot then separated Sam and Dean, setting up two ongoing titles: Sam Winchester and Dean Winchester.

Both comics take place during the CW show’s early seasons and run at the same time. The reviewer had reservations about stories without Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles as the brothers, but says the second Dean issue has won them over.

New Orleans Sets the Scene

Dean’s hunt in the second issue continues in New Orleans. The reviewer praises the choice, saying the city’s distinctive character adds atmosphere, much as locations did in the show’s early seasons.

Writer Chuck Brown also brings in two new side characters. The reviewer does not identify them to avoid revealing their roles, but says they add humor and action to the story.

Art Adds Monster-Scale Drama

Rapha Lobosco’s art is another highlight for the reviewer. The issue’s alligator monster and the effort to defeat it make a strong impression. The reviewer argues that comics can show visuals that the television series could not manage on its budget. Together with Brown’s writing, the art helps make the issue a compelling continuation.

Suggested Reading Order

Readers interested in the comic continuation are advised to begin with Supernatural Special: Wayward, then read Sam Winchester and Dean Winchester alongside each other. The reviewer says the second Dean issue has made them more committed to following the series through to its end.
