Disney Villains: Maleficent (Vol. 2) #1
JOURNEY INTO DARKNESS!
The Queen of the Forbidden Mountain returns for an all-new tale of villainy crafted by writer PAULINA GANUCHEAU and artist THEO STULTZ!
Set in the time just after the vengeful Maleficent leveled her curse against Princess Aurora, this hypnotic new adventure follows the power-hungry regent as she sets out to build up her arsenal of magical energy to the point that she will be invulnerable to any force that would dare challenge her reign.
When her goblin minions return from a raid against a neighboring kingdom bearing a mysterious glowing grimoire, the Queen senses an ancient and otherworldly presence between its covers — a force that could deliver to her a new wellspring of nearly unlimited power. To take possession of it, however, she must leave the safety of her kingdom and venture into an unfamiliar and dangerous realm — a place from which few humans ever return!
Featuring darkly beautiful covers by PAULINA GANUCHEAU, ELLERY SANTOS, ROBERT QUINN, and THEO STULTZ, Disney Maleficent Vol. 2 #1 adds a new layer of complexity to one of Disney’s most compellingly sinister antagonists!

What I liked: The story seemed interesting but I read a Maleficent series 2 years ago. Is this a sequel? Something new?
Art & Coloring: Eh so so! I wished it was more vibrant.
Writing: I didn't really care for this side quest.
What I didn't like: i feel like Maleficent is too good for this? Like I can see her on a side quest sure, but her guides? Reminded me of the ghost chick from Saga.
Final thoughts: Angelina Jolie did her thing in that movie.
Continuing?: No

I must admit Ganucheau has taken me entirely by surprise here. I'm most familiar with her Powerpuff Girls run. Perhaps any PPG following Kelly Thompson's masterful trio of issues would have disappointed by comparison, but her work certainly left a bad taste.
Anyway, her depiction of Maleficent's moral abdication is palpable. My heart skipped a beat when Her Villainessness declared, "The word 'anything' does not begin to cover the depth I am willing to go for my gain. I will do unspeakable things. Disgraceful things. Heinous things. So yes... I will do anything for power."
This is an incredible start. Stultz could draw all my favourite titles and I would be overjoyed (his were the variant covers I collected).

I love Disney so the cover art is what drew me to this issue in the first place, but I also loved the artwork on the inside!! I can't wait for the next issue in December!!!
