Gentlemen,

I love this Anonymous Disney Comic Addiction Support Group!

Could someone tell me who is writing/illustrating the latest Disney comics (Scrooge, Donald, etc...) or are what we see available now "reruns" of previously published comics?

Thank you,

L

They're getting EXTREMELY difficult to find here in Canada. People here
who've bought everything Disney for years have stopped buying the Boom!
issues because of the poor quality of the stories. Dealers here are hesitant
to special order them for customers, as they end up unsold after the
customers see how bad they are.

Someone on this list claimed that the current issues of WDCS are among the
best Disney comics ever produced. I picked up issue #711 this week to have
a look, and it was VERY poor. The same garbage that Boom! has been producing
since taking over the line. And it was all Mickey Mouse!! WDCS is an
anthology title, where are the Duck 10 pagers and other stories??

OK, that's some bad comic-book-store running going on there. If a
customer wants to special order something, the the comic book guy
should go ahead and do it. And if the customer is so churlish to say
"no" after it comes -- well, I find it hard to believe that is
happening en masse. Especially by now, anyone who special orders a
Boom! Studios Disney comic should know what to expect.

So, as some of you may know there was a comic convention in the New
York and Disney publishing was there to promote some of their own books
and comics. Boom! Studios was also there to promote their books as well
and I attended both panels. So here are some tidbits and information
that I gleaned from those.

First the Disney Comics panel:

The first talked about the various movie tie in comics that they were
doing. They mentioned the Tron Betrayal #1 that was just released last
Wednesday and that the Graphic Novel would be out on Nov. 16. Tron
Betrayal tells the story of what happened between the last movie and the
upcoming Tron Legacy movie.

The next subject was an upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean graphic novel
called Six Sea Shanties. Some of the stories will be prequels and
others will tell stories between At World's End and On Stranger Tides.
The artist for the cover will be Eric Powell who does the comic series
"The Goon". The stories are supposedly to be written by Rob Kidd, but I
just found out that is a pseudonym for a team of writers who do PotC
stories. At least one story will feature the Zombie Monkey.

They also talked about Disney Digicomics. One of the projects mentioned
was upcoming Muppet Motion Comics. They also mentioned an Epic Mickey
digital comic project and were very proud of the fact that this is the
first Disney comic project that was developed first as a digital comic.
The prequel comics to the Epic Mickey game will be available, at least
initially, through a free app on the iPad that will be released either
on the 19th or the 20th. They said "10 days", so I'm making a guess
based on the date the statement was said. The app will have the first
comic for free and additional content will be uploaded as the weeks
progress. The prequel comics will be written by Peter David and cover
the events in the Wasteland before Mickey messes everything up at the
beginning of the game and thus will primarily feature Oswald the Lucky
Rabbit. It is unknown if the prequel comics will see print, but they
would like that to happen. They're just not sure if it will be as stand
alone comics or be bundled with the Epic Mickey graphic novel. And
there will be an Epic Mickey graphic novel that "covers" the game, but
they stressed that the game would have a lot more content. They also
mentioned that I think in 2011 there will be a book called "The Art of
Epic Mickey" for those of you who would like that.

The Digicomics panelist also mentioned that they were trying to expand
the digicomics line so that it would be web based so that more people
could access, and obviously buy, Disney Digicomics beyond the PSP and
iPhone/iPad users.

Further comics information was given about Phineas and Ferb where they
had comic retellings of P&F episodes.

Of interest to mainly me was my question if Mickey Mouse Mystery
Magazine would be released in Digicomics format, and I was told that it
"was in the pipeline", but that could mean that it'll still never see a
release in the US. Still I remain hopeful as X-Mickey was released in
as Digicomics. Another question asked was about the Carl Barks and
Floyd Gottfredson collections that will be released in 2011 with
Fantagraphics and they said each volume should be under $100. Of
course, they didn't say how big the books would be so that may be an
easy promise to make.

I believe that covers the Disney panel so I will go onto the Boom Kids
panel and their Disney Comics offerings.

They are *very* happy with the sales of the Darkwing Duck comics and say
that each subsequent comic seems to surpass the previous issue in
sales. The next Darkwing story arc will be "Crisis of Infinite
Darkwings" and Negaduck will play an important role in the story. Also,
thanks to the success of Darkwing, in December they will be releasing a
Rescue Rangers ongoing title. Other series may be in the pipeline, but
they don't want to put out too many comic at once as that could cause
the whole line to suffer in terms of sales since people need to pick and
choose if a lot of titles are out.

Boom! also announced that next year will the Walt Disney Comics &
Stories 70th anniversary, so they're kicking it off with two special
issues. The January Issue of WDC&S will have 40 pages and contains a
Don Rosa story he drew but did not write called "Forget-Me-Not". The
regular cover will have art by William Van Horn and I think the Deluxe
cover will have art by Daan Jippes. The Mickey Mouse and Friends comic
will have a Floyd Gottfredson comic called "Pirates of Port Placid" (I
think) that hasn't been reprinted in 40 years in its entirety and the
Deluxe version of the cover will be a never before printed Floyd
Gottfredson cover. Don't remember who did the Regular cover. Sorry.

All of these annoucements were part of the Boom! Kids 2.0 campaign that
they were quite enthusiastic about and would answer questions about
their Disney comic line with referrals to the website and the Boom! Kids
2.0 campaign.

Finally, this is something I did not learn about in the panels, but it
may be of interest to people here. Apparently, they're collecting the
Darkwing Duck stories from Disney Adventures and printing them as a TPB.

If anyone has any questions or comments, please let me know and I'll try
to answer them to the best of my knowledge.
