Aladdin #3 Preview: Abu Runs Wild Through Agrabah in Dynamite’s Disney Fantasy Series
Abu takes the spotlight in Aladdin #3, the next magical chapter in Dynamite Entertainment’s Disney comic series.
Written by James III with art by Agnese Eterno, this issue sends Abu into the streets of Agrabah for a story built around temptation, identity, and one very mischievous monkey trying to figure out where he belongs.
For readers following Dynamite’s growing Disney line, Aladdin #3 continues the fantasy adventure with a fun character-focused hook: Abu runs away.
Abu’s Crisis of Conscience
The official setup for Aladdin #3 puts Abu at the center of the action.
After becoming part of palace life, Abu finds himself torn between two worlds. On one side, he has a new identity as a palace primate. On the other, he still feels the pull of his old life as a shoplifting simian.
That inner conflict sends him weaving through Agrabah, where every street corner offers another temptation. Pick pockets. Clean clothes lines. Jack jewelry. Abu’s old instincts keep calling, and the issue turns that struggle into a fast-moving fantasy adventure.
A Smaller Story With Big Personality
What makes this issue stand out is its focus.
Instead of building the story around a massive magical battle, Aladdin #3 appears to zoom in on Abu’s personal dilemma. That gives the comic a lighter, character-driven energy while still keeping the stakes clear. Abu is not just causing trouble for the sake of trouble. He is trying to understand whether he belongs in his new life or if he is still defined by the habits that helped him survive before.
That makes the issue especially appealing for Disney fans who enjoy the heart and humor of Agrabah’s supporting cast.
James III and Agnese Eterno Continue the Magic
Writer James III brings the issue’s central conflict into focus by giving Abu a simple but effective emotional hook. He wants freedom, but he also wants belonging. He wants adventure, but he keeps bumping into consequences.
Artist Agnese Eterno gives the story the right visual style for a fantasy comic built around motion, expression, and comedy. The preview pages lean into exaggerated reactions, magical chaos, and the colorful personality of Agrabah, making this a strong-looking issue for readers who want a Disney adventure that feels energetic on the page.
Collectors can also track the issue through Key Collector Comics as Dynamite’s Disney releases continue to build attention with new readers and longtime fans.
