Awesome! The current, infamous Ducktales storyline enshrined in trade paperback form for all time! You certainly can't accuse Boom of experiencing an excess of shame!

They're even tradepaperbacking (new verb) the infamous DuckTales 3? Is there something they haven't tradepaperbacked?

I don't think they tradepaperbacked the Mickey Mouse story Treasure of Marco Topo. Maybe they'll tradepaperback the Duck Tales and Darkwing Duck Crossover Story Dangerous Deposits after they release it in the comic books.

Yup, I wonder if they'll correct the "infamous" pages or if they'll leave them untouched. Probably the latter, considering ... ^^'
It's still a real shame to see one company progressively going from one side ("best quality comics ever!") to the other ("worst Disney comic ever!"), at least for the Disney Afternoon stuff...

Both of these are from Boom!'s upcoming releases emails. The first one is from Aug. 9, the second one from today. As you can tell from the second one a few titles are missing from the end. Even with a couple of months left it appears they are already cutting their ties with the Disney line.

Yep, no more Disney titles and no more Stan Lee either.
I have some doubts over the capacity of that company to stay in business, especially considering the current state of comics in USA.
Besides, the way they've treated us Disney fans over the last months have made them lose clients that bought their other titles too.

28 Days Later and Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? are done too...it seems that Boom doesn't have much gas left in the tank. Although if the rumors of their contempt for us is true, I can't say I'd be too sorry to see them go.

Without Disney and Stan Lee, they're coasting on fumes. They still have Waid's books, but without him on staff how long will that last? Unless there's an upcoming announcement of Boom! acquiring some mega big licensed property, I don't see BoomkaBoom lasting past 2012.

Late note on Boom!Comics: I've also purchased Disney's Four Color Adventures now. That only leaves Walt Disney Treasury Vol. 2 as the last book of the "Boom!'s four last big books" I still don't have. Perhaps something for Christmas, but right now I'm waiting for the release of Mickey Mouse - Trapped on Treasure Island.

I'm only waiting for the Darkwing Duck TPB #3 and #4.
Then Fantagraphics will get the rest of my comic budget for 2011.

With all of the layoffs, resignations and firings, I'd say the writing is on the wall and the ship is circling the drain.
