Fans of fantasy and romantasy have a new way to return to Pixie Hollow. Wings of Starlightby Allison Saft is now live on WEBTOON as a manga series, marking the first-ever visual adaptation of the bestselling prequel novel set in the world of Tinker Bell.
It’s been centuries since a warm-season fairy in Pixie Hollow has crossed into the Winter Woods, and while most fear the legends of monsters lurking in the frozen lands, Clarion, can’t help being intrigued by Winter’s stoic beauty. But under the watchful eyes of the current monarch and the court’s seasonal ministers, Clarion has little time to dwell on daydreams while the days to her coronation dwindle away. That is, until reports of a monster crossing from Winter into Spring make their way to the palace. But instead of finding a monster at the edge of Winter, she finds Milori, a young guardian of the Winter Woods. Together, they form an unlikely bond as they race to save their lands. But as their alliance warms to something more, they will discover there is a reason a warm-season fairy and a winter fairy must not be together. And the cost could be just as deadly as the monsters that prowl the Winter Woods.
Wings of Starlight was created by Saft with the Webtoon adaptation written by Stacy King and featuring art by Alice Borganit, assisted by Sara Cerutti, Claudia Cocci, Alessia Montagner, Rachta Lin, and Gianluca Grasso, and adapted by Arancia Studio.
The adaptation brings Saft’s emotional storytelling and richly imagined magic to life through lush artwork and WEBTOON’s immersive vertical scroll format — and readers can experience the full story digitally before the physical graphic novel arrives later this year.
While the comic world is mainly focused on the court drama that is Diamond’s chapter 11/chapter 7, we’ve also made sure to keep track of other major cases making their way through the courts. One that may have just as big an impact on the world of comics is the lawsuit by Disney, Universal, and Warner Bros. Discovery against Midjourney.
Marvel and DC Comics are both named as plaintiffs in the lawsuit with characters from each being used as examples of Midjourney’s theft.
The parties have been figuring out discovery in the case, the part where they each hand over relevant documents to each other so they can go over evidence. Documents can be relevant emails, text messages, memos, etc. Discovery has been a bumpy process with a place hashed out in February and then a dispute happening March that went before the judge.
Now, Midjourney has filed to compel the complainants to produce further documents in response Midjourney’s Requests for Production (the process of getting the documents during discovery).
In other words, Midjourney believes Disney, Universal, and/or Warner Bros. Discovery are holding back documents or there’s more documents than what they’ve received. Midjourney is asking a judge to step in to make them hand over more documents to Midjourney. This is a pretty big action, much like going to a teacher to settle a dispute you should be able to have handled yourselves.
In the world of discovery, this is potentially a big deal and shows this court case might be having some drama and animosity behind the scenes.
Below is the main motion and we’ll update with more supporting documents when we can.

OpenAI is shutting down Sora, the generative-AI video creation platform that was launched in 2024. No specifics were given as to why, the Sora team released a statement:
We’re saying goodbye to Sora. To everyone who created with Sora, shared it, and built community around it: thank you. What you made with Sora mattered, and we know this news is disappointing.
We’ll share more soon, including timelines for the app and API and details on preserving your work. – The Sora Team
With the shutdown, goes the investment Disney promised just three months ago. The two companies announced a three-year licensing agreement that allowed Sora to use some Disney intellectual property from Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars, for the creation of videos. Those videos were going to be added to Disney+ in a new curated section. That deal included a $1 billion stake in OpenAI.
As the nascent AI field advances rapidly, we respect OpenAI’s decision to exit the video generation business and to shift its priorities elsewhere. We appreciate the constructive collaboration between our teams and what we learned from it, and we will continue to engage with AI platforms to find new ways to meet fans where they are while responsibly embracing new technologies that respect IP and the rights of creators.
