Ben 10 #8 marks the full debut of fan-favorite alien Wildvine and teases the first appearance of a mystery villain tied to the series’ larger storyline.

The press release follows:

Media Release – Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products continue to bring exciting developments in the Ben 10 comic book series for fans of the franchise. Nearly every issue has featured a thrilling first appearance, of the beloved alien transformations and/or iconic villains. To kick off the new year, January brings the release of Ben 10 #8 with a one-two punch of new characters!

This upcoming issue written by Joe Casey and drawn by Robert Carey will debut the full first appearance of Wildvine in this continuity. The classic one-eyed plant-based alien has long been a favorite for many fans. Eagle-eyed readers may recall an earlier dream sequence cameo, but here in this epic eighth issue will be the full debut.

In addition to Wildvine’s appearance, a classic villain will be making their first appearance in the series too. But their identity is being kept a secret at this time for readers!

“In each issue of Ben 10 so far, we’ve made sure to provide readers with the thrill of the new,” said writer Joe Casey. “In issue #8, it’s finally time for Wildvine to take center stage for his in-story debut. Not to mention, the first appearance of an iconic villain will provide essential clues to the larger Ben 10 saga that we’re still just beginning to unleash. And while there’s no way readers will be able to predict what’s coming next — we guarantee it’s gonna be a crazy ride!”

Joining the team of Joe Casey, Robert Carey, colorist Ren Spiller, and letterer Taylor Esposito are the titans of Ben-tastic covers Dustin Nguyen, Sebastian Piriz, Eric Canete, and Man of Action member Duncan Rouleau.
