According to Variety, Disney's plans for Kingdom Comics are progressing nicely. This new division will develop graphic novels for film adaptation (and turn past live-action films into comics). It will be headed up by actor/producer/writer Ahmet Zappa, former chief executive of Twentieth Television Harris Katleman, and writer/editor Christian Beranek. Naturally, Disney Publishing Worldwide will have the first opportunity to distribute all titles created by this line.
