Supernatural: Rising Son is the name of the second series of comics based on Supernatural.

This title was originally named "Supernatural: Revelations"; the change to "Rising Son" was first announced in a tvguide.com article: First look at the New Supernatural Graphic Novel Rising Son.

In the new series, Sam and Dean will be 7 and 11 respectively. Unlike the first comic series where the boys were left behind, Sam and Dean will be active characters. But active doesn’t mean that all three Winchester’s will be going into battle together. It’s more a time of discovery as the boys begin to understand the truth about John and their own family history. Dean in particular will probably be a little more active in this series. We’ll explore his first hunt and how that shapes up. The training of Dean and the issues that will cause as John is treating the two boys differently, why he’s doing that, and what effect this has on Sam. Another issue the comics will deal with is the potential influence of a maternal figure in the boys’ lives. In the first issue, we have John happening upon a town that is curiously populated with a lot of young women. We’ll find out the supernatural reason for it, but we’ll also use that story for exploring the potential influence of maternal figures for the boys as John’s trying to protect them. Where we can, we want to tie in some of the evil forces they come up against with the family metaphor. And speaking of mother figures, the mystery of Mary will deepen as John digs a little further into the life of the woman he loved. He’s going to want to know more about Mary herself. Why Mary? Is there a key in her past that could help him understand why she died? That’s the drive going into this thing, and it will take a crazy twisted turn toward something more sinister. – Peter Johnson, Interview with SF Universe Dec 7, 2007
