There’s no place I’d rather be
Than on my surfboard out at sea
Lingering in the ocean blue
And If I had one wish come true
I’d surf ’til the sun sets beyond the horizon
‘Āwikiwiki, mai lohilohi
Lawe mai i ko papa he’e nalu

Official Synopsis:

Note: As you will be able to tell from the solicited synopsis, this issue was originally thought to be released in June. It is also the story line that ended in issue #4.

Just in time for Stitch Day, Lilo & Stitch #6 lands! In this issue, Experiment 626 winds up his impromptu circumnavigation of the globe just steps ahead of the increasingly agitated Cluster Sovereign. Will Lilo’s beloved “puppy” shake off his intergalactic pursuers for good? There’s only one way to find out pick up Lilo & Stitch #6 in June!

My Recap

*STOP READING HERE IF YOU WANT TO AVOID ALL SPOILERS*

Lilo’s new gigantic monster friend, “Tiny”, turns out to be a monster responsibility. Stitch does not trust the monster and sees it as an invasive species since he learned all about that term in the previous issue. Jumba shrinks the monster T-Rex down to a more manageable puppy size, but Stitch does not think it is small enough to stay out of trouble and not be dangerous. Stitch uses the ray on Tiny again to make her even tinier. This move actually backfires on Stitch as he makes both Tiny and himself into giants.

The commanding officer for the Galactic Federation gives Lilo the new title “Galactic Federation Socilaization and Education Agent Number 834.” Lilo inherits three new “invasive” monsters to befriend and train to be good. The hunter from the previous issue is bound to make a return appearance. This monster story arc has the look and feel of the fantastic Lilo & Stitch animated series.

You and your Ohana are going to love this Lilo & Stitch comic series.

The next issue of Lilo and Stitch will surf into your local comic book shop tentatively in November. Be sure to check out the other current Dynamite Comics Disney releases: Gargoyles Quest and Hercules.
