Your local comic shop is about to get a little more jawsome. Mattel and IDW Publishing have announced that Street Sharks will be returning to comics, marking the first new release in over 20 years and introducing the beloved ’90s characters to a whole new generation. This series builds upon the partnership between Mattel and IDW Publishing.
Debuting September 2025 with Street Sharks #1 (of five issues), the series follows the action-packed adventures of the four Bolton brothers – half-shark, half-human heroes and crime fighters. Since its debut in 1994, the Street Sharks franchise has also inspired a popular Mattel action figure line.
Writer Stephanie Williams and artist Ariel Medel bring Street Sharks to the page. Based on the classic animated series, the upcoming comics will thrill readers as the Sharks protect Fission City from a range of gene-slammed threats, including super-strong and monstrous lobsters and squids, and diabolical mad scientists that transform into vicious piranha monsters. The comic will deliver on everything fans loved from the hit show and the tone of its era, from the Sharks riding cool motorcycles to eating a lot of burgers and metal while swimming through the city’s concrete to take down the bad guys.
Street Sharks #1 features covers by Philip Murphy, Elizabeth Beals, Khary Randolph, and Kevin Anthony Catalan.
