Dynamite Entertainment has already drawn a lot of attention for its recent Supernatural comic book series, which tells new "untold tales" starring Sam and Dead Winchester from the first season of their 15-season-long TV show, but that hit series, written by Greg Pak, will now be split into two, as the recently announced Supernatural: Wayward one-hot (which was first announced last month) will now serve as the kickoff behind TWO new Supernatural series being launched in October.

There will Supernatural: Dean Winchester, by writer Chuck Brown (Aquamen, Black Manta, Dejah Thoris) and artist Rapha Lobosco (Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living), and there will be Supernatural: Sam Winchester, by writer Paulina Ganucheau (Disney Villains: Maleficent, The Powerpuff Girls, Lemon Bird: Can Help!) and artist Kendall Goode (The Terminator, Dirtbag Rapture).

What Will the Two New Supernatural Series Be About?

In a Dynamite press release for these two new series, the company described Supernatural: Dean Winchester like this:

It's Mardi Gras in the Big Easy, which means not only flocks of colorful characters, but also its hallowed alleyways crawling with creepiness and mystery. Dean is determined to close a case his dad never could, but to do so, he might have to murder a god...

In that same press release, it had a description for the Supernatural: Sam Winchester series, which described the series as:

After he's done something to Dean that he can never take back, Sam is drawn to an abandoned town deep in the heart of Appalachia. Guided by cryptic phone calls, he finds himself wrapped up in a mystery as old as the mountains themselves. Will the ancient eldritch horrors overtake this Winchester?

What do the Writers of the Two New Supernatural Series Have to Say About the Projects?

Paulina Ganucheau, writer of Supernatural: Sam Winchester, noted in the aforementioned press release, "Supernatural is something that is a part of my DNA. So getting this opportunity is a treasure. I can’t wait to take readers and Sam along on an isolatingly perilous journey of tears and horrors.”

Supernatural: Dean Winchester writer Chuck Brown added, "I've been a fan of Supernatural since day one. Writing Dean is going to be wild as he revisits his past case down south."

The two series will still be interconnected, in the sense that they are still existing in the same timeline and in the same shared universe, so both Brown and Ganucheau are going to be aware of Dean and Sam slowly but surely working their way back to each other, but having a number of interesting solo adventures before they get to that point.

The TV series, inherently, couldn't devote THAT much time to the solo adventures of each of the characters (although obviously they each DID have solo adventure over the years), so these two new series really open up a new type of story for both Sam and Dean.

The two new Supernatural titles launch this October.
