Joe Casey’s back, and he’s not here to play it safe. The architect is returning to the world that helped define a generation, BEN10 this time at Dynamite Entertainment with a bold new take aimed straight at the fans who grew up with the Omnitrix. Expect something sharper and more evolved, Casey revisiting his own legacy with the kind of perspective you only get after decades in the trenches.

This July, He’s teaming with Robert Kirkman for a major new project at Skybound Entertainment, TERMINAL . A new superhero team with an absolute killer lineup of artists: Adam Kubert, David Finch, and Art Adams.

We also get into Casey’s work with Man of Action Entertainment, the powerhouse studio behind modern animation hits, and how the rules have changed. Today’s audience is faster, more distracted, and far less patient with traditional storytelling rhythms. Casey breaks down what animation studios need to do to keep up, from tighter pacing and stronger hooks to designing stories that can live across platforms, not just in a 30 minute block. It’s a smart look at where animation is headed, and what it takes to actually hold attention in 2026.
