Check out the first look at Danny Phantom: Fair Game below as shared by Epstein on social media.

The synopsis for Danny Phantom: Fair Game continues with, “While Danny struggles to find a way to implement his new knowledge of what ghosts are to help them, Valerie Gray is thriving as the best ghost hunter at school. But when Wulf, Danny’s old ghost friend, arrives looking for another ghost wolf cub, Danny and the gang must help track down this cub before their ghost hunting classmates get to it first.

Why Do Fans Love Danny Phantom?
Danny Phantom is a special series with Nickelodeon. Unlike Butch Hartman’s previous success, The Fairly OddParents, Danny Phantom hasn’t had as much love shared for it over the years since its end. Not only did it end much sooner than fans might have ever wanted, but it’s far from the series that fans have gotten to see revived through the years with new sequels, live-action adaptations and more like with The Fairly OddParents. It was just an entirely different kind of series.
But those differences are what make it special as Danny Phantom was a well told story filled with lots of teen superhero action. Now as the story gets to continue through these graphic novel sequels, the franchise is finally getting the due it deserves in the spotlight. Now it’s just a matter of checking out what could be coming next for the ghostly hero as he takes on bigger and bigger challenges.
