I just bought issue #14 of The Amazing Spider-Man. "Steve, this is a forum for Disney comics, not Marvel comics." I know that...but hear me out. In July 2014, Marvel announced plans for a five-issue Princess Leia comic:

In October 2014, Marvel announced plans for a five-issue Big Thunder Mountain Railroad comic:

The new Spider-Man includes full-page ads for both comics: One asks, "What is a princess without a world? Star Wars Princess Leia, issues #1 and #2 available March 2015" and the other proclaims, "The world-famous thrill-packed Disney attraction roars to life as an all-new Marvel epic! Big Thunder Mountain Railroad #1, March 2015." The Leia comic is written by Mark Waid and drawn by Terry Dodson. Big Thunder is written by Dennis Hopeless---who really should change his last name---and drawn by Tigh Walker.
I wonder if Disney/Marvel is considering any other comic-book series based on theme-park attractions. Star Tours? Splash Mountain? Jungle Cruise? Expedition Everest? Twilight Zone Tower Of Terror? Such comics would be fun to read and would bring a lot of publicity to Disney.....not that Disney really needs more publicity, but.....

Sorry, GeoX, but you should have known there would not be a team-up. The Princess Leia comic, like the Star Wars films, takes place in a fictional galaxy in the present. The Big Thunder Mountain Railroad comic is set in the "Old West," which is usually considered to be the 1850s through the 1880s. Another story about the Railroad comic is at http://thedisneyblog.com/2014/10/30/new-from-disney-kingdoms-big-thunder-mountain-railroad/
