Writer Jim Zub (Pathfinder) returns with artist Ramon Bachs for the new series, which continues the saga of the enigmatic inventor Dreamfinder and the legendary Figment.  Zub wrote the first Figment series (see “Disney’s Figment By Jim Zub”), which was just released in hardcover in May (see “Review: Figment HC”).

The Figment 2 miniseries brings Figment and Dreamfinder from the steampunk setting of the first series to the present day, and the mainstays of Disney’s Epcot Theme Park face new challenges as a new mystery unfolds.  The first issue of Figment 2 will be released in September with a cover by John Tyler Christopher, who also provides a clever “action figure” variant cover.
