Back when Disney acquired Marvel in 2010, people wondered how long it would be before the publisher became Mickey Mouse Comics.That quite clearly hasn't happened --the publisher putting out most of the Mickey Mouse comics coming out right now is Fantagraphics -- but that doesn't mean that Disney isn't ripe for some sharp satire in the pages of some independent comics.

Enter Rickey Rouse Has a Gun, the new graphic novel by writer/director Jörg Tittel and artist John Aggs. In it, the title character (who is definitely a Rouse, not a mouse; the guy inside the costume is named Rick Rouse) deserts the U.S. Army and goes to work at a Fengxian Amusement Park, a Chinese theme park populated by such classic characters as "Ratman" and "Bumbo." But then terrorists attack and Ricky has to take charge.

And here are a handful of preview pages:
