Disney Villains: Ursula #5 Review: The Sea Witch Brings the Drama Back to the Deep
Disney Villains: Ursula #5 arrives on July 15, 2026, and the Sea Witch is back where she belongs: at the center of a magical mess filled with attitude, ambition, and underwater trouble.
Published by Dynamite Entertainment, this issue continues Ursula’s villain-focused spotlight with the kind of theatrical energy that makes her one of Disney’s most memorable antagonists. Ursula has never been just another dark sorceress. She is dramatic, calculating, funny, cruel, and completely convinced that every room — or reef — belongs to her.
That is what makes Disney Villains: Ursula #5 so much fun. It gives longtime fans another dose of classic Sea Witch confidence while offering newer readers an easy way into a fantasy comic built around power, deception, and big villain energy.
For readers catching up, Comic Book Addicts has followed this series from the start. Our Ursula #1 review explored how the series gave the Sea Witch her own stage, while the Disney Villains: Ursula #2 preview showed how quickly the danger around Atlantica began to rise. By the time we reached the Ursula #3 Triton trap review, the series had already proven it was willing to lean into magic, manipulation, and royal chaos.
Ursula Is Still the Main Attraction
The strongest part of Disney Villains: Ursula #5 is how clearly it understands the character. Ursula works best when she is not softened too much. She should be charming, dangerous, petty, clever, and just theatrical enough to make every scene feel like a performance.
This issue keeps that energy intact.
Ursula does not simply react to danger. She commands attention. Every scheme feels personal. Every magical move feels like part of a larger plan. Even when things go wrong, she carries herself like someone who believes the ocean will eventually correct itself in her favor.
That confidence gives the issue its personality. Ursula is not the type of villain who fades into the background. She is the storm, the spotlight, and the punchline all at once.
A Fun Chapter for Disney Villains Fans
Disney Villains: Ursula #5 should appeal to fans who enjoy villain-led stories that do more than repeat familiar movie beats. The issue continues to build out Ursula’s comic book presence by giving her a wider fantasy playground.
The story has underwater danger, magical tension, and enough character-driven conflict to keep the issue moving. It also keeps the tone accessible, which is important for a Disney-based comic. This still feels like a fun adventure, but with enough edge to remind readers that Ursula is not here to play fair.
That balance is what makes the book work. It can be enjoyed by readers who grew up with The Little Mermaid, collectors following the Disney Villains line, or newer comic fans looking for a colorful fantasy issue with a recognizable lead.
The Art Gives Ursula Room to Perform
A good Ursula comic needs expressive art. Her power is not just in the magic. It is in the smirks, gestures, posture, and dramatic timing.
Disney Villains: Ursula #5 captures that larger-than-life quality well. The visual style gives her movement and presence, especially when the story leans into magic and underwater spectacle. Ursula’s design naturally fills the page, and this issue uses that to its advantage.
The best moments are the ones where the art lets her personality do the talking. A glare, a grin, or a confident pose can say as much as a full speech. That matters because Ursula is a character built on performance.
Why New Readers Should Care
New readers do not need to know every detail of the series to understand the appeal here. The hook is simple: Ursula wants power, the ocean is full of secrets, and nobody should trust the Sea Witch for even a second.
That is enough to make Disney Villains: Ursula #5 easy to pick up.
However, the series becomes stronger if you read the earlier chapters first. The previous issues help build the larger conflict and make Ursula’s current position feel more earned. This is especially true for readers who want the full arc of how Dynamite is expanding Ursula beyond her animated-film roots.
For Disney fans who do not usually visit comic shops every week, this issue is also a good reminder that licensed comics can do something fresh with familiar characters. They can add texture, build new conflicts, and give villains more room to breathe.
Final Verdict
Disney Villains: Ursula #5 is a fun, stylish, and villain-forward issue that gives the Sea Witch another strong comic book spotlight. It has magic, attitude, underwater drama, and just enough chaos to make Ursula feel dangerous without losing the playful theatricality that makes her so iconic.
This is a strong pickup for Disney Villains readers, Ursula fans, and anyone who likes fantasy comics with a wicked sense of personality.
