Dynamite Entertainment has announced a new title in their Disney Villains comic line starring the diabolical Maleficent.

“The Queen of the Forbidden Mountain is back for an all-new tale of villainy, set in the time just after she leveled her infamous curse against Princess Aurora. This moody new adventure follows the power-hungry regent as she seeks to fortify her dark powers. Maleficent’s plan is to reinforce her arsenal of magical energy to the point of making herself invulnerable to any threats to her reign,” per the description.

Her goblin minions find a mysterious glowing grimoire that contains a force that could give her nearly unlimited power. But if she wants to fully possess and harness the power, she will need to leave her kingdom and travel to a dangerous realm where few have safely returned.

Disney Villains: Maleficent will be written by Paulina Ganucheau (The Powerpuff Girls) and will be illustrated by Theo Stultz (Blade of the Fane).

“Maleficent is a top tier (if not the all-around best) Disney villain,” Ganucheau said. “She feels so authentically evil in all her pursuits. With roots in medieval mythology and dark magic, she’s just so iconic. As a longtime fan, it’s truly an honor to creatively contribute to her cultural stamp. And to be joined by the great Theo Stultz, it’s a dream come true. Get ready for a beautifully spooky and enigmatic adventure!”

The first issue comes with variant covers by Ganucheau and Stultz, as well as covers by Ellery Santos and Robert Quinn. Disney Villains: Maleficent #1 arrives in comic shops in October 2025.
