Nickelodeon’s Danny Phantom is Coming Back in Graphic Novel Form

If you haven’t watched Danny Phantom, here’s the gist: when he was just 14, Danny Fenton got ghost superpowers from being blasted by the ghost portal in his parents’ lab. It was basically Spider-Man meets Ghostbusters, with Danny and friends fighting a new ghost each week, and occasionally Danny would get a new power. The show ran for three seasons and during its heyday, Danny either starred in his own video game or guest starred in games featuring Nickelodeon characters.

It’s unclear as to what degree Hartman is involved with the graphic novel: in recent years, he’s been accused of plagiarizing art for commissions, along with misleading those who donated to his Kickstarter campaign for his then streaming service, Oaxis. Billed as a Christian, “family friendly” alternative to other streaming services, backers were slighted with Hartman not mentioning that aspect of Oaxis in the description. He currently serves as a producer for Paramount’s live-action Fairly Oddparents.

Is a Danny Phantom return on the horizon? It’s currently unclear, but given that Nickelodeon is on track to start up Avatar shows and films again, and the aforementioned iCarly recently had its revival series renewed for a third season, it wouldn’t be out of the question.

Danny Phantom: A Glitch in Time will release on July 18, 2023.
