Danny Phantom A Glitch In Time Apr 2026

Danny Phantom: A Glitch in Time (2023) Type: Graphic Novel (Original Story) Writer & Artist: Gabriela Epstein (based on the series created by Butch Hartman) Timeline Placement: Approximately 10 years after the events of the original Danny Phantom TV series finale, "Phantom Planet." Overview Danny Phantom: A Glitch in Time is the first official continuation of the Danny Phantom story since the original series ended in 2007. Published by Abrams Books under its "Amulet" imprint, this original graphic novel bridges the gap between the show's open-ended finale and a potential future for the characters. It is widely celebrated by fans for its mature handling of legacy themes, character development, and its respectful but forward-moving plot. Plot Summary Ten years after revealing his secret identity to the world and stopping the Disasteroid, Danny Fenton (still 14 due to a narrative reset in "Phantom Planet") finds his life stuck in an unsettling loop. Amity Park has grown complacent about ghost attacks, treating them like weather. Danny feels stagnant—his ghostly powers are glitching unpredictably (phasing through solid objects unintentionally, overshooting flights), and he senses a deep, unshakable disconnect from his human half.

The story kicks into gear when Clockwork, the Master of Time, appears with dire news. The catastrophic events of "Phantom Planet"—specifically Danny's reckless wish to make every human a ghost for a brief moment—have created a "chronal rift." The Ghost King, Pariah Dark, who was sealed away in the Sarcophagus of Forever, has exploited this tear in time. Pariah Dark isn't trying to conquer the world this time; he intends to erase the present timeline entirely, reverting reality to the dark age when ghosts ruled supreme. danny phantom a glitch in time
