Disney has announced a new line of graphic novels, "Kingdom Comics", which will be based on stories currently in the so-called "Disney Vault", formerly known as the place where your ideas went to die. The general point is to test what's popular and what upcoming films they might want to make. Don't be surprised that Disney's main focus isn't actually entertaining people. Stories will range from existing character's expanded lives (like the Aladdin tv cartoon, for example) and the aforementioned brand new stuff, with lots of guys in lab coats watching children reading the books and making notes and nodding.
The problem? "Kingdom Comics" is mine, bitch! I used a own a comic book store under that name, based on my favourite graphic novel "Kingdom Come". I just hate to see the name being used by this money hungry corporation. However, it's fantastic that such a large company with money to spend on distribution is going to help gain new, young comic book fans for the future.

is the kingdom comics sign still on the building? we should get it for the theatre.
They painted over it because they couldn't get the bolts off. I remember when the guy put it up he came in and said "Well I finally got it in, but it's never coming out."
