This isn't a comic, it's just odd. Supposedly it's a new video game based on Mickey with a very... bizarre visual style:

And here's more concept art...

Wonder if we'll ever see anything like this in the comics...?

I don't know if we will or not. This is the first time I have heard of this game. What System is it made for?

OSWALD THE RABBIT is the main villain in Epic Mickey?! He's a little bitter about Mickey's fame, apparently...

I didn't expect Oswald the Rabbit to be the main villain in Epic Mickey. I always thought it would be Pete or The Phantom Blot or someone like that.

That's why it's so diabolically clever. :)
Oswald was "replaced" by Mickey and spent decades in relative obscurity.
Mickey went on to worldwide fame, becoming the most recognizable cartoon character in history.
Yeah, I'd be mad, too. ;)

Shouldn't the holder of Walter Lantz' rights to Oswald have problems with that? Or has Oswald become public domain because no one continued to renew those rights?

Disney got Oswald back as part of some ESPN sports deal as I recall.

That's right The Walt Disney Company bought back Oswald the Lucky Rabbit in 2006.

Apparently the game's designer wants to do a DuckTales game, but Disney won't let him...

That's a shame that Disney won't let anyone do a Duck Tales game anymore. I liked the two they made for Nintendo. They are so cool. I especially liked the Duck Tales 2 game. That's the first game I beat without a Game Genie. I beat the original one with the Game Genie.
