Journey Into Imagination With Figment
Walt Disney Parks inspire legions of visitors to use and embrace their imaginations. The Disney Kingdoms line of Marvel comics spreads that same feeling into the wider world. The latest title will feature the star of the Epcot experience Journey into Imagination with Figment starring none other than the titular purple dragon!
Skullkickers creator Jim Zubkavich—known as Jim Zub to his fans—will pen the new FIGMENT limited series with CAPTAIN MARVEL artist Filipe Andrade providing visuals. The project, which debuts on June 4, marks Zub’s first for Marvel and combines elements from the in-park experience with magic, science and steampunk into an adventurous origin story for the beloved character.
“I was contacted out of the blue by editor Bill Rosemann at Marvel,” Zubkavich recounts. “He’s been handling the Disney Kingdoms comics and, with so many fantasy projects under my belt and with magic and whimsy showing up in other stories I’ve written, he felt I’d be a good fit to pitch on FIGMENT. So far I’m doing my best to prove him right.”
