It eventually became my favorite Disneyland attraction by far. C’mon, you can overcome your fears too! :-) When I was a child, I was deathly afraid of the Haunted Mansion ride (specifically those heads popping out from behind gravestones!).

My comment about the Eddie Murphy movie was just that the badness of that particular movie sort of colored my ability to look at the comic book without thinking of bits of the movie. The two have nothing to do with one another, other than sharing a name and both being based on the same attraction. I read the first issue of HAUNTED MANSION and enjoyed it immensely; I was downright shocked at how much it read like a typical SLG book rather than something that felt like it was guided by the heavy hand of the mouse. I was just voicing a personal aesthetic prejudice derived from a personal aesthetic response to a movie (Like, I don't know if I'd be able to read and enjoy OWLY if I was attacked by a flock of owls as a young child).

Jennifer de Guzman is quite correct in her assessment. The comic is (loosely) based on the ride, not the movie. She forgot to mention how good the comic is. (Professional humility, I guess.)

I agree with you, Johanna. An interview is not the place to let everyone know about your own opinions and interests. And lest there's some confusion in regards to caleb's comment: The SLG Haunted Mansion comic has NOTHING to do with the Eddie Murphy movie. I don't see how disliking the movie has anything to do with not supporting the comic. I can’t believe Benjamin Ong Pang Kean asked Jamie about stuff that happens in Civil War!

I've really been digging WONDERLAND, but haven't read any of the others (well, the first issue of HAUNTED MANSION...Eddie Murphy sorta ruined that franchise for me) So does that mean the SLG/Disney marriage is coming to an end?!

I love Gargoyles, I have been getting the comic even despite a tight budget. And having met Greg Weissman at a Kansas City con, it is only going to get better. There is going to be the wonderful Arthurian exploration (that got me truly loving the show) coming after issue 6. Maybe I should have supported the other SLG Disney attempts? Oh no!
