Let’s be honest, Zootopia 2’s release date is so far away (November 26, 2025), and luckily for us, Dynamite Entertainment has something to tie us over until the big day with the new ongoing Zootopia Comic Book Series.
First announced three months ago, this new comic book series is based on the first film and the Disney Plus series, featuring the creative team of writer Jeff Parker (Batman ’66, Aquaman, Future Quest), and artist Alessandro Ranaldi (Disney Villains: HADES, Beyond the Farthest Star, Zorro in the Land That Time Forgot) take us back into the wild world of Zootopia in a brand-new story that will feature characters from the film. Luckily for us, we’re getting a first look at the first issue, which goes on sale January 8.
The first Zootopia film opened to $75 million at the domestic box office in 2016, which at the time was the largest opening for any of Disney’s non-Pixar animated films (a record now held by “Frozen 2”). It would go on to earn $341 million at the domestic box office and almost double that from the international market. “Zootopia’s” worldwide gross sits at just over $1 billion, making it the third highest-grossing animated Disney film of all time, behind “Frozen” and “Frozen II.” In 2022, Disney+ released Zootopia+, an anthology miniseries of seven-minute shorts starring side characters from the “Zootopia” universe. Zootopia is available now on Blu-ray, DVD, Digital, and on Disney Plus. Also, Zootopia Issue No. One is available now at your local LCS, Digital, and e-retailer.
It’s another beautiful day in the bustling city of Zootopia, where every animal is free to strive to realize their full potential – and one of the most successful of those strivers is Tripp Zebrando, owner of the PB&J cell phone company.
PB&J’s high-tech devices are the must-have accessories for every species in town, and Tripp is about to launch their latest model with a huge publicity event timed for the arrival of the first shipment of phones at the airport.
Unfortunately, somebody has it in for PB&J, or Tripp (or both), and the resulting sabotage threatens to bring the house down – right on top of the unsuspecting crowd!
Luckily, ZPD’s finest – in the form of Officers Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde – are on the scene, ready to keep the peace (or at least contain the chaos). But what they’re about to discover in the aftermath of this seemingly isolated incident will lead them into a much larger and more complicated case!
