Disney Kingdoms is a line of comics published by Marvel Comics starting in 2014. The focus of the line was to tell new stories, expanding upon lands, attractions, characters, and the worlds of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts that exist or almost came to be.
The editors have expressed a goal of creating a cohesive "Disney Earth" composed of these attraction stories with connections becoming more apparent as the imprint goes on.
