Street Sharks: Annual 2026

The Street Sharks’ best friend and trusted ally, Moby Lick, is in town on the heels of one of the Sharks’ worst enemies. Evil businessman and big-game poacher Malcolm Medusa III and his trusted saboteur henchman, Clammando, have broken out of prison at the same time a dinosaur was found alive in a deep ocean trench. They’re set on capturing the dinosaur and cloning it to seed the next generation of fossil fuels! But they’ll need a scientist to make it happen, and who better than their last cellmate, Dr. Paradigm? The Street Sharks will need all the help they can get to stop all three of their greatest enemies!

And in the backup story: With the lair all to himself, Bends invites a girl over for a dinner date. But when the Sharks are away, the Seaviates come out to play! Bends will be defenseless to stop them…or so he wants you to believe.
