As Jeff Parker explained :
“ Disney has a squad that review everything , but they ’ve been astonishingly hands - off . They feed me notes here and there , but nothing that made me throw a hissy fit . At one item , I made up a new area , and they were like , ‘ We never said that exists . I had to adjust . I wish I could shift my own idea for the mathematical function , but it all has to amount from the top . I started to publish a dog character before realizing , ‘ Wait , dogs do n’t exist here because wolves were never domesticize . It ’s a world where every choice pass water sense , even if those rules are never explicitly explain . You just pick them up as you watch or , in my case , write . ”
Nobody has ever debate that Disney does n’t preserve its content to the highest standards . When nearly everything about a franchise make by the company is believe canon , writer and creative person have to work around a very delicate preexisting line . While Parker admit that it was originally a creative battle to have many of his ideas shot down , he ultimatelyenjoyed the challenge of working within the statute title . He credits much of the serial ’ pre - launch success to artist Alessandro Ranaldi .

Parker further elaborated :
“ Alessandro is doing what it took 100 of animator to do in the movie — by himself . He charm the case ’ expressions and body language perfectly . It ’s like watch the movie open again . You ’ll see scenes like Chief Bogo handing out assignments , with Judy at once arguing hers , of grade . You ’ll also get to see more undercover work , chase episode , and low - level turn — classic adjective storytelling . ”
From the serial ' first effect , it is clear that the creative squad succeeded in what they were hope to fulfil ; this comic already feels like a genuine sequel to the movie . The character ’ body language and facial expressions are as spot - on as they can be , enamour their animated vis-a-vis ’ unequaled appealingness . Likewise , the metropolis of Zootopia itself has also been allowed to grow . Part ofwhy Zootopia thrivedis because everything in it feel like a fantastical reflection of actual - world society . This is something that Parker explicitly want to capture .
Expect An Adventure As Dynamic As The Movie
tot up his commitment to the franchise , Jeff Parker stated :
“ What I loved aboutZootopiawas its power to suggest deeper , clayey estimation beneath the sense of humour . We ’re carrying that onwards . It ’s character - driven , showcasing how Judy and Nick ’s personalities mesh in their study . ”
As Judy and Nick take on their first grant , they are caught run aroundthe sprawl cityscape of Zootopia . Through legion establishing shots and expressive setting , reviewer can see glimpses of the familiar yet grotesque society . However , it ’s the nonsensical nature of the plot that really sells the first outcome . Just like in the first film , Judy , now partnered with Nick , is given a straight - and - dim-witted duty assignment from Chief Bogo that immediately goes awry , when the duo is stuff into a nefarious crime of exaggerated dimension .
The issue is a delightful introduction to the bustling world of Dynamite Comics’Zootopia , aseriesthat successfully recreates the charm and mystery of the original film .
