Marvel has offered up a first look at the covers for the second issue of their upcoming comic series, Disney Kingdoms: Seekers of the Weird.

Disney Kingdoms: Seekers of the Weird #2 (of 5) will include a look at the never-built Museum of the Weird, designed by famous Walt Disney Imagineer Rolly Crump. Each issue also features a variant cover by Imagineer Brian Crosby. The standard cover for issue 2 is by Mike del Mundo, written by Brandon Seifert, with artist Karl Moline.

Disney Kingdoms: Seekers of the Weird #2 cover
On a checkered floor reminiscent of an immersive Disney attraction, two adventurers are surrounded by swirling, oversized books in a magical scene inspired by Marvel’s Disney Kingdoms. Overhead, the "Seekers of the Weird" title floats with the enigmatic charm of the Museum of the Weird, inviting guests into a world of mystery and imagination.

Under the bold "Seekers of the Weird" title, two teens strike adventurous poses—a nod to Marvel’s Museum of the Weird from Disney Kingdoms—one gripping a bat, the other raising a glowing skull, capturing that iconic Disney Parks sense of supernatural excitement.

The story:
With their parents kidnapped, teens Maxwell and Melody leap into a thrilling race through the world’s most strange—and dangerous—museum. What lurks within the Wardens’ Library… and what is the Walking Chair? Who is the Shadow Society… and what do they want with the Coffin Clock?

Issue #1 will be released in January 2014, also with variant cover art from Brian Crosby:

A steampunk character with mechanical wings and glowing eyes hovers in midair, surrounded by plumes of smoke from their backpack—evoking the mysterious vibe of Marvel’s Museum of the Weird inside Disney Kingdoms attractions.

Disney Kingdoms: Seekers of the Weird is priced at $3.99 for 32 pages of entertainment. It’s the first in what ultimately will become a line of Disney-Marvel comics based on theme park concepts.
