IDW Is Bringing Back The Street Sharks

The art is what interests me most. Ariel Medel is super skilled. I saw his work in TMNT vs. Street Fighter and the way he draws action is amazing. If he’s doing the Street Sharks, it’s going to be very dynamic. I never saw the old show, but I like cool mutant stuff. I’m curious if they’ll redesign the characters or keep their '90s look. I hope they mix both.

From a business perspective, this is a smart idea. Nostalgia sells, and the Street Sharks are recognizable enough to catch attention but obscure enough to feel fresh again. I’ll stock it for sure. I hope IDW markets it well. These kinds of books need support to survive, especially if they want to go past five issues. If the creative team does a good job, we could see a full revival. Toys, merch, maybe even a new cartoon. The door is open.

This is unexpected but kind of exciting. I love seeing female writers and diverse artists getting chances to work on old properties. Street Sharks isn’t my favorite thing, but giving it to someone like Stephanie Williams makes me more open to it. She’s shown she can handle legacy characters with care. If this book ends up being more than just nostalgia bait, I’ll be really impressed.

I didn’t think I missed the Sharks until I read this. When I was a kid, my brother and I always pretended we were Big Slammu and Jab. It was goofy, but fun. The show had awesome fights and crazy science stuff. I hope the new comic keeps the bright energy and doesn’t make it too serious. I mean, it’s about mutant shark guys. Don’t try to make it dark and moody. Keep it colorful and fast-paced. Comics are a great way to explore more stories without budget limits. I’m glad IDW picked it up. They did great with Ninja Turtles too.

I watched Street Sharks every Saturday morning on local TV. I still hum the theme song sometimes. It’s hard to explain to younger fans how cool it felt to see shark superheroes smashing through the ground and jumping out of the water. They didn’t have deep stories, but the excitement was real. I’m hoping the comic updates their personalities a bit while still giving us that same energy. The art better be wild too—I want muscles, fins, and action in every panel. I’ll support it, and if they do well, maybe a cartoon reboot comes next?

When I saw the headline, I legit shouted. Street Sharks is one of those cartoons that people forget, but for us fans, it never left our minds. The designs were so crazy—shark heads on jacked-up human bodies? It was the kind of weird that made sense in the '90s. I still have my old Jab figure. I’m super hyped for this comic series. Just please let the writing be smart. It doesn’t need to be deep, just not lazy. I want to see Piranoid again, maybe even some new villains too.
