''The Sceptre and The Kingdom'' is a short 12-page comicbook based on the ''[[Franchise/KingdomHearts Kingdom Hearts]]'' franchise, drawn by famous Disney comicbook artist Fabio Celoni and written by Alessandro Sisti of ComicBook/PaperinikNewAdventures fame.

Despite the series’ popularity, this comic is ''incredibly'' obscure even amongst fans of the series as it was never reprinted. To date, there have been no more attempts to make more official Kingdom Hearts comicbooks.
Surprisingly, despite the series’ infamous habit of making everything related to it canon, this comic is very much non-canon as it features a completely new story that doesn’t fit anywhere in the events of the first game.

!!''The Sceptre and the Kingdom'' contains examples of:
* AdaptationalHeroism: Riku is decidedly a more heroic figure here, whereas in the first game he was more of an antagonist due to being seduced by the darkness and manipulated by Maleficent.
* AdaptedOut:
** Despite being a central figure in the game and Sora’s LoveInterest, Kairi doesn’t appear ''at all''.
** None of the game’s Disney Villains make an appearance, not even Maleficent.
** While it’s probably because the creators didn’t know about him as it was meant to be a twist in the game, Ansem is also absent despite being the game’s actual BigBad.
* CanonForeigner:
** The Mysterious Creature who steals the titular Sceptre was created specifically for this comic.
** While Merlin is a supporting character in the games, both Arquimides and Wart have yet to make any appearances in the games.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Due to being a completely new story made during the development of the first game, there are some odd details for anyone even remotely familiar with the first game:
