This story http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL++706-AP Is this get split into parts or are we getting a remounted version?

We're presently planning to publish "The Diabolical Duck Avenger" in its original two-part format.
(Sorry about the incorrect credits on a few of those covers??we'll fix 'em up in time for publication.)

Fantastic month!

... and I'm gonna count that variant cover of Scrooge playing banjo with the Country Bear Jamboree as an official lost chapter of Life and Times.
;)

All four September issues feature Italian stories. I have mentioned in the past that I prefer the more traditional Egmont type stories.
Could either David or Jonathon post if IDW is going to be heavily concentrating on Italian stories over the more traditional stories? It seems that is the case, but it would be nice to hear some more "official".
Regardless of what my preferences are, if Italian stories are what IDW thinks will sell the best and/or what the majority of readers would like see printed, then that is exactly what they should be publishing. I guess I will have to be an outlier... :)
No matter what IDW publishes, I will be enthusiastically buying each of the 4 titles each month! Heck I am even going to buy last month's Murry Mickey story and they are among my least favorite types of Disney stories of all! :)
P.S. I am *really* excited about the Donald Duck daily newspaper strip collection! I hope it sells great and that we see many more volumes of it.

I suspect that Donald Duck's Duck Avenger origin story will likely be a popular issue, and probably a better way to introduce Donald's super hero alter-ego to US readers than Ultra Heroes was. If Duck Avenger is popular, maybe a Super Goof story in Walt Disney's Comics and Stories might be possible?

I have to wonder... will Scrooge still think Donald is a good-for-nothing unable to steal from a blind-mute-deaf paraplegic?

The full-size free Halloween Scream comic will be great for introducing kids to the IDW Disney line. I think that "It's in the Bag!" by William Van Horn is a particularly good giveaway story, because it's completely accessible to newbies. Also, fine, funny art and dialogue ("my wife's excessively cultured pearls!").
I am slightly sad because I had hoped there would be a Disney mini-comic which I could buy in bulk and use as treats for the neighborhood goblins. If there's no way to get a whole bunch of the full-size Disney comics, I will have to resort to the BOOM mini-comics as treats (very short stories from Adventure Time, Steven Universe, and Lumberjanes). I'm always happy to promote Lumberjanes, but I'd really rather be giving out Disney comics!
