That is, until a new threat comes hunting for Stitch in the form of mysterious, giant robots seeking samples of Stitch’s DNA for their own nefarious purposes. The series’ main question is, will Stitch be able to protect his home and loved ones? And how can he ever be reunited with his ‘ohana if his presence always seems to endanger them?
“The Lilo & Stitch movie blew me away back in the day with its gorgeous, organic animation and its hugely fun sci-fi elements,” said Pak in a statement. “But above all else, I loved its focus on the everyday struggles of an incredibly relatable family on the edge and a little girl and a little monster who somehow manage to save each other. It’s a thrill to have the chance to work on this new series with this tremendous team.”
The kickoff to this first American Lilo & Stitch comic series features covers from four notable artists. David Nakayama delivers an incredible surf’s up scene of the titular duo; Joshua Middleton depicts a quieter moment of embrace back on the beach; Jennifer L. Meyer’s ethereal, dream-like style showcases the beautiful landscapes of Hawaii and Stitch’s rocking guitar skills; and Craig Rousseau contributes a cool color bleed cover.
