Get ready to dive back into the deep end—Street Sharks is returning in comic book form for the first time in over two decades. Mattel, Inc., the global toy powerhouse behind some of the world’s most recognizable franchises, has teamed up once again with publisher IDW to revive the cult-classic ’90s heroes in a brand-new series hitting comic shops in September 2025.
The upcoming five-issue miniseries, STREET SHARKS #1, reintroduces readers to the Bolton brothers—four half-man, half-shark siblings on a mission to keep their city safe. Originally surfacing in 1994 as an animated series and toy line, Street Sharks quickly became a pop-culture phenomenon, with its outlandish villains, outrageous action, and toothy charm.
Spearheaded by writer Stephanie Williams (Nubia and the Amazons) and artist Ariel Medel (TMNT vs. Street Fighter), the new comic promises an explosive blend of nostalgia and modern storytelling. Set in the chaotic streets of Fission City, the Sharks face off against twisted experiments gone wrong—including muscle-bound mutant lobsters, ruthless squids, and deranged scientists who turn themselves into terrifying piranha hybrids. Expect wild motorcycle chases, burger-fueled brawls, and plenty of over-the-top mayhem as Ripster, Jab, Streex, and Big Slammu fight to protect their home.
