If you're a fan of the Disney character Figment, as I am, then you'll probably enjoy this cute comic that gives Figment and Dreamfinder a steampunk origin story. It's cute, and I enjoyed the art style and characters a lot. There's not much real threat in the story's conflict, but I didn't expect much. (And yes, I heard Figment's voice from the ride at EPCOT quite clearly in my head when I was reading his lines.) ( ) The merger of Disney and Marvel creates the opportunity based on classic Disney World attractions. This series tells the back story of Epcot's original Journey into Imagination with the Dreamfinder (the comics reveal his given name as Blarion Mercurial) and Figment. The story begins with Mercurial working as a reasearcher at a university in London in the early 1900s and creating an invention that harnesses imagination and makes it reality. First he creates his sidekick purple dragon Figment, and then they're drawn into imaginary worlds where they experience a series of adventures. The comic basically acknowledges that the 1980s Epcot attraction was steampunk before the word "steampunk" was coined. The story is basically a G-rated adventure akin to the Five Fists of Science or The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. And being set in imaginary worlds, it benefits from lavish illustrations by Andrade. no reviews | add a review
