I think Eega Beeva's speech was "simplified" for the sake of kids being able to follow his dialog much easier. That could also explain the straightforward translations. Just a theory...? :-/

Quote from user: Robb_KWell, I guess I will spend less money on comic books, but have even less chance of my stories, and those of some of my long-time friends and colleagues having our stories printed in English. Now will will have only Uncle Scrooge, and what little space in the big, special books, that will be devoted to new, European (non-Italian) stories.
Do we know for certain if Boom's Scrooge series will contain any 4-tier Egmont material, or will it also be 3-tier Italian stories?

According to Boom's preview, Uncle Scrooge will have "traditional" material: (Barks reprints, Rosa, Van Horn, Marco Rota and new European stories not yet printed in USA). I assume that this book will be reserved for those "categories", and not have any 3-tier stories, except for classic stories by Romano Scarpa.

Blake Petit reviewed this issue over on comiXtreme as part of this week's "Done in One" review. Here's what he had to say about WDC #699...
The return of the classic Disney characters continues, and as in last week's Mickey Mouse and Friends, we get a comic book that looks at the characters in a light American audiences aren't used to. When Scrooge McDuck's money bin is stolen -- with Scrooge in it -- the greatest heroes in the state of Calisota must come together to solve the crime. This is a "gathering of forces" issue, and it's actually kind of typical of superhero comics. Most of the Disney stalwarts have superhero aliases in assorted European serials (and even the odd American publication) so bringing together the likes of the Duck Avenger, Super Goof and the others is a fairly natural idea. The art style used here is a bit different from your traditional Disney comic as well, but I like it a lot. My only real concern -- as with the previous Mickey Mouse issue -- is that we're looking at a long-term serial here. I like this story. I want to read more of this story. But I don't know that I want it to be the only story told in this title for the better part of a year. There's definitely a place for this kind of comic. I just hope Boom! can find a place for more classic stuff too.
Rating: 4/5

Having skimmed all the threads on the new Boom comics Disney titles, I don't think I'll be spending my money on any of them. :( Here's hoping Boom (or Marvel?) puts out a series of affordable Barks trades though, and in short order so I don't have to wait most of the rest of my life to read all the ones I've never seen!

Ultraheroes stories also have irregular text balloons shape, which made them quite 'untradisional ' European Disney comics.
*SPOILER*
Not being a fan of Eega character, I'm kinda disappointed to know that he holds a prominent role in the plot twist at the end.

Oh, and last year Topolino published a second installment of Ultraheroes. They dedicate a whole book (#2755) for a new plot. I'm not sure if the stories in it are in continuation or not.

I don't think I've read any Eega Beeva stories outside of his introduction (at least none I can remember). Is he a major character in the Italian strips?

Forgot about The Blot's Double Mystery. That was a good one.

Yes it is. That story has a lot of signifigance to me. Not only is it the first story I read with The Phantom Blot in it but it's also the first story I read by Romano Scarpa.
