Disney Villains: Gaston #1 (Dynamite Entertainment, 2026)

AT LAST -- A SERIES WORTHY OF THE NAME GASTON! The unfairly maligned antagonist of Beauty and the Beast will be the first to tell you that he's the greatest tracker in the land, a fact that has been confirmed by his totally unbiased sidekick, LeFou -- and who would know better than these two fine, upstanding citizens? So when a nobleman offers a sizable reward for the return of his runaway horse, Gaston pursues the escaping steed with a single-minded focus -- directly into the king's private hunting grounds! Arrested for trespassing, Gaston faces a long stay in the royal lock-up -- except that his obviously superior abilities impress the king's wily advisor, the Comte du Souffle, who has a dangerous mission that only someone as unthinkingly brave as the great Gaston would ever contemplate taking on. If he succeeds, he'll be free to go -- but when he finds out what he's up against, prison might seem like the safer bet! Highly animated authors GREG PAK (Lilo & Stitch) and FRED VAN LENTE (Conan the Avenger) join forces with artiste extraordinaire MILENA CICCARELLO to finally bring readers the tale that they have surely been clamoring for with Disney Villains: Gaston -- featuring appropriately adoring covers courtesy of CICCARELLO, LESLEY "LEIRIX" LI, TED BRANDT & RO STEIN, and WILL ROBSON!
