Not bad. I really like the premise, and I could see this as an ongoing series. I could definitely see it as a tv series, the a rather dashing uncle character to make all the ladies swoon.
Not great. Probably written for older Disney fans, who long for the nostalgic Walt Disney world versus the youth of today (who don't even remember Captain EO, tsk). A little choppy in the explanatory areas, but lively and exciting all the way through.

The backstory behind this book is very charming, the idea that there was supposed to be a sort of haunted museum attraction at Disney along with the haunted mansion. But you’ve now read the most interesting thing about all of this.
Usually I’m a fan of the ambitious failure, the story trying to do a lot with a little, but this one kind of does a little with a lot, a less desirable combo.
I don’t know, I suspect disney is probably glad they didn’t do the whole weird museum thing. Chances are, being built so long ago, it’d have some of those weird Ripley’s vibes where we cross over from a guy who can fit three pool balls in his mouth to “check out this actual shrunken head” and so on.
Now, if they had Walt Disney’s frozen body in the museum, that’d be awesome. I heard a conspiracy theory once that said Disney made Frozen so that when you searched Walt Disney Frozen you would stop getting rumors about him being cryogenically preserved and start getting stuff about a princess who was turned into snow (or whatever, I’ve never seen it, I hear it’s fine).
This is one of my all-time favorite conspiracies because it’s totally harmless, it’s plausible, and whether it’s true or not doesn’t change my life one bit, so it’s fun to think about.
Take note, makers of conspiracy theories:
1. Harmless
2. Plausible
3. Unimportant

Fun little read. It would be cool if this was made into a tv series.

If anything, this series just makes me wish that the original attraction was able to have actually come into fruition (alongside Haunted Mansion, of course).

Es un excelente comic, si bien esta es recién la primer parte, la historia pinta muy bien, y promete muchas aventuras.

What a fun idea for a story. I now pine away for the things that were never built.

I'm a Disney nerd. This is loosely based off of the original idea for the Museum of the Weird (which was originally planned around the time of the Haunted Mansion attraction). There were some parts that got a little confusing (because you only have so much room to explain things in a graphic novel), but overall it wasn't a bad story.

I'm not sure what Marvel and Disney were hoping for with this title but it never seems to fully get off the ground just like the never constructed Disney attraction that inspired it. On the whole I wish that there were enough here for a longer series but despite genuinely great art it feels as though five issues was about as far as they could take this.
