Disney Villians: Maleficent (2025)

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 Villains: Maleficent Vol. 2 #1 adds a new layer of complexity to one of Disney’s most compellingly sinister antagonists!

A FRACTURED FAIRY TALE! After discovering the existence of a new fount of magical energy, the Queen of the Forbidden Mountain is determined to take possession of it — no matter the dangers involved. Opening a portal from her kingdom, Maleficent follows her two spectral guides into the mysterious realm of the Fae to begin her treacherous quest. But are these ghostly figures leading her to the source of the power — or to her own destruction? Find out in the darkly enchanting second issue of author PAULINA GANUCHEAU and artist THEO STULTZ’s Disney Villains: Maleficent Vol. 2 — featuring fetchingly foreboding covers by GANUCHEAU, STULTZ, ELLERY SANTOS, and ROBERT QUINN!

HEAVY METAL THUNDER! Continuing her quest for the hidden relics that promise unlimited magical power, Maleficent and her enigmatic spirit guides venture deeper into the Fae Realm. As they cross the overgrown remains of an ancient battlefield, a skeletal armor-clad figure rises up from the ground, summoned by the dark Queen’s magic to reveal the location of the first artifact: his iron sword. But the reanimated soldier is in no hurry to return to his endless slumber. If he can join Maleficent’s company for one last adventure, he promises that he can secure for her not only his sword, but also the second object of her desire — and he might even be able to help with the dragon that’s guarding it!

GAZE INTO THE EYES OF THE DRAGON! Even the bravest of adventurers would think twice about taking on a full-grown, fire-breathing serpent in its own lair — but for the Queen of the Forbidden Mountains, such fearsome creatures are just another resource to be tapped in her relentless quest for power. But such single-minded focus on one all-consuming goal can mask hidden dangers — particularly in the Fae Realm, where Maleficent has no shortage of enemies!Enchanted chroniclers PAULINA GANUCHEAU and THEO STULTZ continue to weave their narrative spell in Disney Villains: Maleficent Vol. 2 #4 — illuminated by ethereal covers by GANUCHEAU, STULTZ, ELLERY, and ROBERT QUINN!
