Overview

• Dynamite Entertainment announced a comic series written and illustrated by Edwin Galmon, with the first issue slated for November 2025.
• The story is set during the original film’s peaceful “golden time,” before Scar’s rise, following Mufasa and young Simba as they navigate relationships and protect the Pride Lands.
• Galmon says he aims to foreground father‑son bonding, loving guidance, playful moments, and mentorship between Mufasa and his heir.
• Coverage suggests the added scenes could influence how viewers experience the 1994 film by revealing more time between father and son before later events.
• The project arrives as Disney continues expanding the franchise, following the 2019 remake’s $1.6 billion haul and the 2024 prequel’s $722.6 million box office with a divided critical response.
