Joe Books To Publish Adaptations Of Disney's Moana, In December 2016 Solicits

Joe Books have made a very nice cottage industry of adapting Disney movies as comics, in a variety of ways.

And for the new animated movie, Moana, they are doing both at once, as a "cinecomic" with screencaps of the movie turned into panels, and as a comic where the CGI scenes are repainted by artists to create a different vision, specific for the comic medium. Here are the solicits for December 2016 as well as the other titles, including Frozen, Darkwing Duck and a novel adaptation of the movie Weirdos
