Disney Publishing Unveils Disney Cursed Love, an All-New Romantasy Series, Debuting Exclusively on WEBTOON in 2027

Posted on by

At D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event 2026, Disney Publishing announced Disney Cursed Love, an all-new romantasy initiative inspired by some of Disney’s most iconic love stories. Disney Cursed Love will engage readers through seductive, action-packed romantasy adventure, entangled in dark magic, terrible curses, and epic romance.

The initiative will debut with ‘The Curse of a Forsaken Heart’ from #1 NYT Best-Selling author Emily McIntire and artist Samairu — available first on WEBTOON as a webcomic before expanding into print across multiple formats in 2027. 

In The Curse of a Forsaken Heart, Belle and the Beast (in its human form) get sucked into a magical world through an enchanted stained-glass window. Once trapped, they quickly realize the fate of the realm is tied to the kingdom’s princess, Emberlynne: a woman who didn’t yield to the marriage proposal of an evil sorcerer. As a result of her refusal, the entire kingdom is cursed to live without love and anyone who steps foot inside it is also cursed. Belle and the Beast will have to not only find their way back to their own love, but also help the princess find hers in order to lift the curse from the kingdom and return home.

SDCC 2026: Marvel and WEBTOON Unveil the First Wave of Marvel Originals

Posted on by

Marvel and WEBTOON have revealed the first wave of original Marvel series — all-new Marvel stories created exclusively for WEBTOON and designed specifically for the platform’s vertical-scroll format.

Announced during Marvel’s “Next Big Thing” panel at San Diego Comic-Con, the slate introduces three original series from an exciting lineup of comics and WEBTOON creators, bringing fans new stories and characters from across Marvel that can only be found on WEBTOON.

Marvel Originals Announced at SDCC:

Tony’s Girl

Creative Team: CRC Payne (Writer), StarBite (Artist)

For 17-year-old Tony Stark, life is effortless. It’s the kind of thing that tends to happen when you’re wealthy, popular, and a mile smarter than everyone else in the room. After graduating from MIT, Tony expects to spend the summer pushing the envelope of innovation at his Stark Industries internship. Howard Stark has other ideas. Frustrated by the bad press from Tony’s underage partying, Howard intends to show the world that the de facto heir to the Stark empire is worthy of the mantle — especially as Howard works on a deal to push rival Creighton McCall out of the electronics industry for good. That is how Tony finds himself in a stuffy etiquette class with Meredith McCall. Thrown together, Tony and Meredith are a recipe for disaster. To Meredith, Tony is smug, spoiled, and represents everything she hates about her father’s world. But the line between hate and love is a thin one, and neither Tony nor Meredith can deny the spark between them. As understanding and friendship blossom, so too do deeper feelings, leading to a first love neither one of them saw coming. Too bad their fathers will kill them for dating the enemy.

Tony’s Girl

Tony’s Girl

X-Men Korea

Yeong-seo Go, an ordinary Korean high school student, suddenly awakens as a mutant. After becoming a member of the Hoseok Academy for the Gifted, he must fight against the conspiracy of a megacorporation championing human evolution, confronting the secret of his hidden power and a plot that could shake the future of humanity.

Star Trek Expands with Original Stories on WEBTOON

Posted on by

WEBTOON Entertainment and Paramount Products & Experiences have announced two original webcomic series that will expand the world of Star Trek exclusively on WEBTOON’s English-language platform. Stargazers is available to read now, followed by Recollection later this year. 

Set within the legendary universe fans know and love, Stargazers and Recollection include all-new canon adventures that build on Star Trek series like Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager. Introducing new characters and locations, these standalone series invite a new generation of fans to explore the next frontier of the franchise’s 60-year legacy in WEBTOON’s vertical-scroll webcomic format. 

Stargazers is a young-adult romance set in the vibrant, ever-evolving world of Deep Space 9, where friendship, identity, and first love unfold against the backdrop of a Galaxy recovering after war. Set in a later timeline inspired by Star Trek: The Next Generation and Voyager, Recollection is a gripping mystery that follows a crew who awaken on a Federation starship without any of their memories.

Stargazers

Written by: Jarrett Melendez (Chef’s Kiss, Young Men in Love)
Art by: Kisai Entertainment
Episode Count: 40 episodes (Series launching with 3 free episodes and 5 Fast Pass episodes)
Launch Date: May 17, 2026

A new series set aboard Deep Space 9, Stargazer introduces an entirely new cast navigating early adulthood in a vibrant corner of the Galaxy. 

Leon is an optimistic young man fresh out of school, spending his days with his close-knit group of friends, including Churi, a brilliant Bajoran inventor, and his loyal dog Alfie. While Leon embraces the unknown and resists choosing a defined path, his childhood friend Syrrik is determined to follow a strict trajectory into Starfleet Academy, driven by the expectations of his formidable father.

After a falling out pushes them apart, Leon and Syrrik find themselves drawn back together in unexpected ways, navigating a complicated and evolving romance. Alongside their friends, they become entangled in a station-wide animal smuggling conspiracy, all while preparing for a community talent show that brings their worlds together. As outside pressures mount, including interference from Syrrik’s father, they must decide what kind of future they want.

Recollection

Written by: Sam Maggs (New York Times bestselling author; Critical Role, Star Wars, Marvel, Star Trek)
Art by: Kisai Entertainment
Episode Count: 40 episodes
Launch Date: Summer 2026

A young woman awakens with no memory of who she is or how she got there, only to discover six other passengers share the same fate. With no clear answers and little trust between them, the group turns to the ship’s enigmatic holopilot, JAID, who appears to be withholding critical information.

Their search for the truth leads them to a remote space outpost, where the protagonist encounters a Vulcan who seems to recognize her—and provides a device that unlocks fragments of her memories, but only in fleeting moments. As tensions rise and alliances form under pressure, the group uncovers a shocking reality: most of them are among the Federation’s most wanted, bound for a reeducation facility. Hidden among them are a bounty hunter and a covert Federation operative, complicating trust even further.

As identities are revealed and loyalties tested, the crew must decide who they are—and who they’re willing to become.

Rocketship will Publish Deluxe Editions of Legendary’s WEBTOON Series Firebrand and ROB

Posted on by

Rocketship Entertainment will add two Legendary Comics titles to its lineup. The hit series Firebrand and ROB are both set for release in 2026 with Kickstarter campaigns planned for later this year.

Writers Jessica Chobot and Erika Lewis along with illustrator Claudia Aguirre launched Firebrand: The Initiation of Natali Presano in 2016, a mystical series about a rebellious young witch, returning to Seattle to ward off an ancient evil threatening our modern world.  Since its debut, the series had become a massive hit, wrapping up its epic run at the end of 2019. The Firebrand Omnibus will collect the entire run of the series, featuring behind the scenes content and interviews with the creative team in a massive 350-page deluxe hardcover omnibus.

Natali Presano never fit into her father’s perfectly human world: politically ambitious, he turned his back on her just when she needed him most. Losing her mother to tragedy as a young child, Natali fled the safety of home into the arms of her aunt Selena, the mysterious guardian of a magical order waging a centuries-old war for survival in the mountains of Spain.

Natali, now in her 20s, has followed in her aunt’s footsteps, becoming a powerful but rebellious witch in her own right. Returning to Seattle, she finds herself caught between a cruel modern world and the ancient evil threatening to destroy it.

Writer Richard Dinnick and artists Magda Price and Miguel Sepulveda modernized the mythos of Robin Hood with their thrilling webcomic ROB. The series launched on WEBTOON in 2021, and Rocketship will be publishing the entire twenty-six episode run in a deluxe hardcover edition, as well as a premium trade paperback. 

When war threatens to destroy his nation’s entire way of life, a young squire named Rob knows just the thing to do: steal a weapon from the Timeless Armory. The only thing standing between him and victory is thousands of miles, sinister knights, crooked elites and enemy assassins. Will he make it back in time to stop the invaders, or will he be vanquished along the way?

Both series will have pre-order campaigns on Kickstarter later this year, which will include exclusive prints, collectible pin sets, and autographed bookplates from the creative teams of each book, and fans can already access Firebrand’s pre-launch page.
