Lilo and Stitch 626 is a new anthology comic from Dynamite Entertainment featuring stories from the Lilo & Stitch universe.

Written by Daniel Kibblesmith and illustrated by Elisa Pochetta, the series explores character origins and adventures beyond the main storyline. The first issue will reveal a new perspective on the backstory of Cobra Bubbles and include a sci-fi western-style story of Captain Gantu stranded on a distant planet.

The anthology will also spotlight characters such as Lilo Pelekai, Nani Pelekai, Jumba Jookiba and Pleakley. The comic celebrates “626 Day” on June 26, referencing Stitch’s Experiment 626 origin, though the first issue is set for release in May. Future issues will feature additional creators including George Kambadais.

Sony Pictures Entertainment is developing an animated film based on the Venom (film franchise). The project will be directed and produced by Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The film is still in early development and may take years to complete due to animation production time. Tom Hardy is reportedly involved in some capacity, though it is unclear whether he will voice Venom again.

Producers may include Amy Pascal, Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach. Meanwhile, Marvel Studios is also reportedly planning its own version of the Venom symbiote character.
