Disney Kingdoms was a line of comics published by Marvel Comics starting in 2014 and ending in 2017. 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.
The series was cancelled in 2017 after poor sales from the Enchanted Tiki Room series.
