Alright, if slightly forgettable, concept about space travel and a Disneyland ride. I went into this with expectations of another "Pirates Of The Caribbean" style ride-to-entertainment type thing, it wasn't bad by any means, just not great. Art wasn't the best if a bit questionable at times, same with the plot and the choices of the characters. But I can't be too harsh, this is a graphic novel for kids and it's alright for what it is.

I liked the art, I liked the very subtle Disney references but I wished it had more to it. The fact that it's a standalone is a shame, it had potential.

I’m always interested in reading the comics Disney puts out about their attractions, and Space Mountain does not disappoint.
Taking place in the future (in a city not unlike the one of the future from the people mover/space mountain end queue (in Florida), two unlikely students are sent on a field trip in the spaceliner (homage to an old ride) to go into the future, but when traveling their, they get arrested. They need to get to space mountain in order to find the people that cane save
them in the past. Will they survive thousands of years traveling, or will they just be another forgotten hero?

A comic about time travel—it was okay overall, but the tie-in to Space Mountain (the Disney ride) was pretty weak. In the book, Space Mountain is some sort of holo-museum that's just floating around in space near the colony for some reason. Why does it need to be free-floating? Why is it shaped like a mountain? These things are never really explained, and it actually plays a very small role in the book. The story itself is okay, but the book just seems like an odd marketing tie-in.

So there was supposed to be a sequel and now it’s been five years, so if that tells you how well-liked this book is.

It was just kind of boring? Average maybe?

The art is just okay. Nothing special or original. The storyline is a mix of kind of confusing, overly simplified, and not very exciting. But what made this a truly not so great book was THE DIALOGUE. Awful. It was just so simple. And every thing that happened had to be explained by one of the characters.

Overall, it just wasn’t my favorite.
