Media release — Coming in spring 2015, the world famous, thrill-packed Disney attraction – big Thunder mountain Railroad – roars to life as an all-new marvel and Disney Kingdoms comic book bursting with action, romance, mystery and adventure. The new series, big Thunder mountain Railroad, continues the distinct collaboration between marvel Comics, Disney Kingdoms, and Walt Disney Imagineering. This five-issue series, created by rising star writer Dennis Hopeless (Spider-Woman, Avengers Arena), fan-favorite artist Tigh walker (Avengers Undercover), invite readers all aboard an all-new adventure that reveals the never-before-told saga of how the gold mine in big Thunder mountain became the haunted legend it is today!
A mainstay of Disney Parks because 1979, big Thunder mountain Railroad has entertained numerous guests on this classic attraction in four Disney theme parks around the world. Now, Disney Kingdoms is happy to add ‘the wildest ride in the wilderness’ with an all-new tale of mystery and adventure set in the wild Frontier!
“Building on the momentum of the sold out Figment series, we are thrilled to embark upon what may be our wildest adventure yet,” says editor and creative director bill Rosemann. “As one of the most well-known Disney attractions, big Thunder mountain Railroad is packed with a combustible combo of drama, humor, and thrills that will explode across the page and deliver all the action and surprises that the Disney Kingdoms imprint has rapidly become known for.”
Series writer Dennis Hopeless continues, “Everybody knows big Thunder mountain Railroad as a rumbling, tumbling runaway train car attraction through an exploding gold mine. but it’s always been much more than that. It’s a trip back in time to a Gold rush town where daring men and women risked their lives in the daily battle between man and mountain. and let’s be honest, it’s the ideal setting for an adventure comic.”
Earthquakes! Floods! Dynamite-chewing goats! Can the denizens of Rainbow Ridge survive the clash between mankind’s greed and nature’s fury? and what is the protective power that dwells deep within the mysterious mountain? surprises await you in the most recent Disney Kingdoms saga coming in spring 2015.
