Celebrate 626 Day With Dynamite! Lilo and Stitch Has Exciting Plans

A new Lilo & Stitch 626 anthology from Dynamite aims to turn 626 Day into a three-month celebration, with stories spotlighting Stitch and the wider cast, including a tease of Agent Cobra Bubbles’ “secret origin” through Lilo’s eyes.

With both the live-action and animated Lilo and Stitch projects helping make 626 Day even bigger, fans worldwide have another excuse to celebrate all through June. Over at Dynamite Comics, a new anthology series is on the way, interpreting the galaxy’s greatest little chaos gremlin in assorted ways.

What makes this release especially interesting is its promise of an Agent Cobra Bubbles backstory. Some fans will argue we do not need to know, that the mystery is the point. I get that, but I would still love to see how he negotiated saving the mosquito population. That’s the sort of detail that could land perfectly in comic form.

The anthology could also explore what Jumba and Pleakley were up to before everything went sideways. And if they’re giving David some spotlight too, I will not complain. The surfer dude stays an underrated part of the heart of this cast, and I’m curious what new angles the writers find.

As for what Disney has planned around 626 Day, we wait for an official announcement. In the meantime, here’s the press release framing, plus series details.

From the 626 Day Press Release:

What is 626 Day? Stitch, the blue alien buddy who co-stars in Disney’s Lilo & Stitch, was originally designated as Experiment 626. While Dr. Jumba Jookiba created more unique experiments, 626 is the most famous. 626 Day offers Disney fans the opportunity to playfully celebrate the beloved character that has captivated global audiences while commemorating his intergalactic namesake.

Everything fans of Lilo and Stitch want to see as a continuation is well explored here, and it’s a logical sequel than having to catch ’em all over again.

For those who don’t want to see Disney remake Lilo and Stitch into a live action film, thankfully, Dynamite Comics is doing what the studio should’ve considered–and that’s to continue the story! Here, after the spunky team has paid their due, what happens next is to just live the life they’re used to. But when most of the galaxy is aware of how useful this blue furry alien is for any plan of conquest, what the first issue offers is a taste of them dealing with life outside of Hawaii!

I believe it’s about time this universe is being made bigger. What’s presented before was mostly about what goes on in this island nation or sees Stitch meet other young girls to be best friends to, especially after Lilo has grown up. Both Stitch and Ai (review), along with the Japanese series Stitch! (review) doesn’t belong in the same continuity, but any fan can see what this series is mainly about.

The Continuity is Askew with Stitch and Ai, and that’s Mind-Blowing

The story about Stitch and Ai takes place before he landed in the Land of the Rising Sun, and after he left Lilo…

Stitch and AiBlink, and not every fan of Disney‘s Lilo & Stitch series will realize this spunky alien is lurking about in Asia! His new adventures started in China with Stitch and Ai (安玲与史迪奇) before he went over to Japan. In terms of broadcast order, nobody can even guess. The former aired in 2017, and the latter was 2008.

Since then, instead of going forward, a look back of this cuddly alien in China can seem confusing. Central to this series is the importance of family. This latest entry nicely looks at it through a different cultural lens. According to online information, the tale takes place before he landed in the Land of the Rising Sun. As for where  Stitch! Perfect Memory (2015) fits in suggests he’ll have more adventures to come in space.
