Disney Villains: Ursula #5 Review: Dynamite’s Sea Witch Finale Makes One Last Power Grab
Disney Villains: Ursula #5 brings Dynamite’s undersea villain series to its final issue with a magical showdown, a dangerous weapon, and one very important question: who truly deserves to command the seas?
The finale arrives in comic shops on July 15, 2026, from writer Mirka Andolfo and artist Gabriele Bagnoli. This last chapter closes out Ursula’s solo spotlight with the kind of scheming, betrayal, and theatrical villain energy fans expect from one of Disney’s most iconic antagonists.
This issue is all about power. Triton’s trident commands the oceans, and whoever holds it becomes almost impossible to stop. Ursula has always wanted more than survival. She wants control, recognition, revenge, and the throne she believes should have been hers. But the finale adds another wrinkle: if Ursula does not claim that power, one of her evil sisters might.
That gives Disney Villains: Ursula #5 a sharp final hook. This is not just Ursula versus the sea. It is Ursula versus her enemies, her past, her ambition, and the possibility that someone just as ruthless could beat her to the prize.
Disney Villains: Ursula #5 Review
The best thing about Disney Villains: Ursula #5 is that it understands Ursula as more than a familiar movie villain.
She is funny, arrogant, dramatic, wounded, and dangerous. This issue leans into all of that. The story gives her room to sneer, scheme, and dominate the page, but it also keeps her vulnerable enough to make the finale feel tense. Ursula may be powerful, but the issue makes it clear that power alone does not guarantee victory.
The preview pages show Ursula facing a massive sea creature and pushing through a chaotic underwater battle. Her confidence is part of the fun. Even when the odds are ridiculous, she carries herself like the ocean already belongs to her. That is exactly the energy this series needed for a finale.
This chapter also keeps the action easy to follow. The trident is the central object of desire, and the question is simple: will Ursula seize it, or will someone worse get there first? That kind of clear dramatic engine helps the issue move fast while still giving the villain spotlight room to breathe.
Readers who have followed the previous chapters will see how this finale builds from the earlier power plays. Comic Book Addicts previously covered the sea witch’s rise in Ursula #1, followed the escalating danger in Ursula #2, and tracked the trident-focused conflict in Ursula #3. This fifth issue feels like the natural boiling point.
A Finale Built Around the Trident
Triton’s trident is one of the most important pieces of power in Ursula’s world, and this finale treats it like a weapon that can change everything.
The trident is not just a magical object. It represents status. It represents control over the sea. It represents the kind of authority Ursula has always craved. That makes the final issue more interesting than a simple action climax. Ursula is not chasing power just because villains chase power. She wants the trident because it proves something.
The issue also raises the stakes by making it clear that Ursula may not be the only dangerous player left in the water. The mention of her evil sisters gives the finale a nasty family-drama edge. Villain stories work best when the threat is not only external, and this issue uses that idea well.
Ursula is used to manipulating others. She is used to making deals. She is used to believing she is the smartest creature in the room. But what happens when the game includes someone who knows her weaknesses?
That question gives the finale some extra bite.
Gabriele Bagnoli Brings Big Undersea Chaos
Gabriele Bagnoli’s art gives Disney Villains: Ursula #5 a colorful, energetic finish.
The underwater setting is packed with motion. Tentacles curve across panels, sea creatures crash through the action, and the magic effects give the pages a bright, chaotic rhythm. Ursula herself is expressive throughout. Her smirks, anger, and theatrical confidence sell the tone of the issue.
The art also does a strong job showing scale. Ursula is already a commanding presence, but the final battle puts her against creatures and forces that make the ocean feel huge. That matters because the story is about control of the seas. The visuals make the reader feel how much is actually at stake.
The preview pages are especially strong when Ursula shifts from mockery to calculation. She can laugh in the face of danger, but the art shows that she is always watching for an opening. That is a key part of what makes her such a fun villain to follow.
Mirka Andolfo Keeps Ursula Sharp and Theatrical
Mirka Andolfo’s take on Ursula works because the character never feels flattened into one-note evil.
She is cruel, but she is also clever. She is dramatic, but she is not foolish. She talks big because she believes she has earned the right to do so. The finale gives her the kind of dialogue that fits a villain who sees every battle as a performance.
This is important for a Disney Villains comic. These stories cannot simply repeat what fans already know from the movies. They need to expand the character while preserving the voice that made the villain memorable in the first place. Disney Villains: Ursula #5 does that by putting Ursula in a conflict that feels personal, magical, and theatrical.
The issue works best when Ursula’s ambition becomes both her weapon and her flaw. She wants everything, and that desire makes her dangerous. It also makes her vulnerable to being outplayed.

Should You Pick It Up?
Yes, especially if you have been following this mini-series from the beginning.
Disney Villains: Ursula #5 is a satisfying final issue because it understands the appeal of the character. Ursula is not meant to be quiet. She is not meant to be subtle. She is a full-force villain with style, ego, and a bottomless hunger for control. The finale gives her a stage big enough to match that personality.
The issue should also appeal to Disney collectors, Dynamite readers, and fans who enjoy villain-led fantasy adventure comics. It has action, underwater spectacle, family tension, and enough dark humor to keep Ursula’s voice intact.
