The Queen of the Forbidden Mountain returns for an all-new tale of villainy crafted by writer PAULINA GANUCHEAU and artist THEO STULTZ! JOURNEY INTO DARKNESS! The Queen of the Forbidden Mountain returns for an all-new tale of villainy crafted by writer PAULINA GANUCHEAU and artist THEO STULTZ! Set in the time just after the vengeful Maleficent leveled her curse against Princess Aurora, this hypnotic new adventure follows the power-hungry regent as she sets out to build up her arsenal of magical energy to the point that she will be invulnerable to any force that would dare challenge her reign. When her goblin minions return from a raid against a neighboring kingdom bearing a mysterious glowing grimoire, the Queen senses an ancient and otherworldly presence between its covers — a force that could deliver to her a new wellspring of nearly unlimited power. To take possession of it, however, she must leave the safety of her kingdom and venture into an unfamiliar and dangerous realm — a place from which few humans ever return! Disney Villains: Maleficent Vol. 2 adds a new layer of complexity to one of Disney’s most compellingly sinister antagonists!
