“Captain Planet is BACK! A Bold New Comic Reboot Brings the Eco-Warrior into the 21st Century!”
Earth’s greatest champion is back—and he’s greener (and mightier) than ever! The long-awaited Captain Planet comic book revival is officially happening, and fans are in for an action-packed ride. Thanks to Dynamite Entertainment’s partnership with Warner Bros., the beloved eco-hero is making his grand return, with a fresh, modern spin that’s sure to thrill both nostalgic fans and newcomers alike.
The Power Is Yours—Once Again!
The first issue of the Captain Planet comic is set to hit shelves on April 23, 2025, and we’ve got an exclusive sneak peek at what’s in store. As the story kicks off, Hope Island is under attack, and a mysterious group is hot on the heels of Gaia, the new high priestess. With her enemies closing in, she takes a leap of faith—calling upon a legendary protector she isn’t even sure exists. And then, in a blaze of elemental power, Captain Planet emerges!
A Hero for the 21st Century
Writer David Pepose is bringing a fresh perspective to the eco-warrior, emphasizing his relevance in today’s world. “Captain Planet has always been about uniting diverse voices to tackle the biggest challenges facing our planet. This series is taking that core idea and amplifying it for a modern audience,” Pepose shared in an interview.
One key update? Gaia is no longer a goddess, but a priestess, adding new layers to her character and interactions with the Planeteers. This shift sets up a compelling dynamic, as both Gaia and the legendary Captain Planet navigate their roles in a world facing environmental and ethical crises like never before.
A Superhero with a Mission
Pepose describes Captain Planet as a unique mix of Superman, Shazam, and Metamorpho—an immensely powerful being with an unwavering commitment to protecting life. “At his core, Captain Planet is a hero who doesn’t want to see anyone suffer. He’s powerful, yes, but also compassionate and confident—a true beacon of hope.”
This modern take ensures that the Planeteers’ mission remains as urgent as ever—fighting against pollution, climate change, and corporate greed, all while showing that teamwork and responsibility can change the world.
