DISNEY VILLAINS GASTON #1

Disney Villains: Gaston #1 kicks off a fresh, action-packed chapter of the Disney Villains line by Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente, with Milena Ciccarello's vibrant art. In this standalone tale, Gaston—the boastful hunter from Beauty and the Beast—claims to be the greatest tracker in the land, with LeFou as his relentlessly loyal foil. When a nobleman offers a reward for his runaway horse, Gaston tracks it into the royal hunting grounds, only to stumble into a larger plot that could change his fate. Arrested for trespassing, Gaston finds that the king's advisor, the Comte du Soufflé, has a dangerous mission that might tempt even a sure-thing hero to take a risk. The issue combines sharp dialogue, brisk pacing, and striking visuals as Pak and Van Lente explore Gaston's vanity, courage, and unexpected consequences of power.
