The original Supernatural series may be over, but it will take more than that to get the Winchester Brothers off the clock. The hunters have faced down ghosts, demons, monsters, and even The Devil himself, but the first preview of the Supernatural Valentine's Day Special 2026 confirms they'll be taking on an even deadlier threat: love.

The Supernatural Valentine's Day Special 2026

Coming February 4 from Writer Preeti Chhibber & Artist Pasquale Qualano

The holiday special one-shot is the latest treat for Winchester fans following the successful relaunch of Dynamite's standalone Supernatural comic series from writer Greg Pak and artists Eder Messias, Vincenzo Federici, Alessandra Ranaldi. While that adventure takes the month off, artist Pasquale Qualano pulls double-duty with this Valentine's Day chapter, sending an unwitting Sam and Dean into the playground of an unconventional love goddess.

The brothers are no stranger to the chaos Cupid can cause, but from the first preview and official synopsis, it sounds like their small town heartbreak is going to spin out of control. Fast:

LOVE IS STRONGER THAN DEATH — AND JUST AS TERRIFYING! Sam and Dean Winchester know a thing or two about love and loss. After all, they've abandoned any pretense of a normal life and hit the road to hunt down the entity that took the lives of two of their loved ones. So if anyone can understand the kind of heartache that would cause a person to turn to demonic forces in order to bring someone back from the dead, it's the brothers Winchester.

But just because something is understandable doesn't make it advisable — and it certainly doesn't make it safe! In fact, you can pretty much count on things going wrong in unexpectedly spectacular ways when you meddle with the fundamental forces of mortality. In this case, trying to command a minor minion of the underworld has resulted in the summoning of an ancient and uncontrollable goddess of desire. The rampage that ensues embodies the true power of love — and only Sam and Dean can stop it!

The first preview pages of this special make it perfectly clear just how well the the new comic series has captured the spirit of the Supernatural TV series, from the writing, to the direction, and the show's unique mix of horror and comedy. And considering the masterful way that both Valentine's Day specific episodes of the TV show, "My Bloody Valentine" and "Love Hurts," blend grisly body horror with insatiable desire, it appears that is exactly what's being targeted by Chhibber and Qualano.

Will the special manage to earn its way into the Supernatural pantheon alongside those two unforgettable cases? We'll let the fans decides once this lost chapter of the Winchester Brothers' saga is released to the masses (with plenty of time to grab a copy before the holiday).

Supernatural Valentine's Day Special 2026 #1 is scheduled to arrive in time for the holiday on February 4, 2026.
