Quote from user: VesuviusHey Roger,
I believe they did negotiate the licenses individually, but if those two are successful, I can't imaging they wouldn't want to cover Rosa, Scarpa, etc.
Anyway, I'm not sure how I got into arguing this point, as the main question is still what is happening with the classic characters ongoing titles. I can't imaging Boom losing the rights to those but still being able to put out collections.
I don't know either. Although I think a Don Rosa Collection would be cool and so would a Romano Scarpa Collection. I think they should make a William Van Horn Collection as well and a Marco Rota Collection and a Pat McGreal Collection.

Quote from user: CoolwaterThe Scarpa, Vicar, Van Horn Libraries are quite much pipe dreams in Europe, too. Actually I love wallowing in the idea of a "Cavazzano Library"--don't laugh, I know that such a project is a complete utopia, at least outside of Italy. In fact there are nothing but Barks and Rosa Libraries in our countries (okay, Gottfredson will also get his one sooner or later).
Well, maybe Ehapa will produce the "Volker Reiche Library" one day. But that idea is only realistic because the five or so short stories of this artist would fit well into one thin album which would be the whole "library" then ...
I wish that the Vicar Collection come to the States soon as well as other collections. (It may take awhile because the stories may be translated as we speak in English).

I would love a Vicar and Daniel Branca collection - even a best of collection would be great!

The May 2011 issue of Diamond's PREVIEWS catalog is now available; as reported in this thread, Uncle Scrooge and the other classic titles are absent. Fortunately, Disney Four Color Adventures Vol 1 and Walt Disney Treasury Donald Duck Vol 2 are listed, so hopefully Boom will continue to produce classic trade paperbacks.
Another welcome sight (on pages 256-258) is Bongo Comics' first issue of Sergio Aragones' Funnies, an all-new title from the creator of Groo the Wanderer.

I'd be very surprised if they continued doing classic TPBs past the ones that they've already announced.

I guess we just have to wait and see what next month's Previews solicitations are. But even then, just because something is solicited doesn't mean they have to produce it.

Recently I read Marvel is re-booting their Ultimate super-hero line. This got me wondering what Disney titles we might expect from the House of Ideas:
The All New, All Different Donald Duck #1
Ultimate Uncle Scrooge#1
The New Chippendales: What Happens in Vegas #1 of 4 (mini-series)
Gyro Gearloose 2.0 #0.1A
The Savage Sword of Mickey Mouse #236

"Ultimate Uncle Scrooge" actually has a nice sound to it. We could chase 1/200 sketch variants for each book and wait until the story arc of "The Death of Uncle Scrooge," when our beloved character is replaced by a clone created by Magica De Spell. It could happen, Boom has already set the precedence for the variants...
Seriously, I wish we knew more about whether or not the classic books are continuing...

All this speculation is funny and all, but you don't actually think that there's any chance Marvel would release "mature," violent stories or ridiculous superhero crossovers, do you? Because I will fearlessly predict that the percentage chance of something like that happening is a big, fat zero. That's just silly. The worst they might do would be to reset the line-numbers (or start all-new lines and abandon the old ones); that would suck on ice, no doubt, but it's a far cry from a Scrooge/Wolverine team-up.

Of course, I don't think such a change to "mature" comics would be possible. That is why I closed my comments with the sentence, "Seriously,..."It was just an observation on the current state of modern comics in the US. I wish that publishers would focus on just producing great stories with wonderful illustrations. Too many re-births, re-boots, etc. for my taste.
The great thing about the Disney books of the past is that we didn't have to worry about story lines going on and on forever. You could just pick up a book and read a great adventure, such as "The Mummy's Ring," "Lost in the Andes," or "Back to the Klondike." I am reading fewer and fewer new comics and actually going back and re-visiting some of the older stories. This is why I am so excited about the Fantagraphics books coming out soon.
I received my Uncle Scrooge #403 today and can't wait to read it! I hope that somehow Uncle Scrooge continues in some format...

No, not really -- although what they've done to their formerly "all ages" super-hero comics line essentially is the same thing.
The real effect I forsee is that the (presumed) move to Marvel will lead to more classic Disney collections (Marvel uses Hachette for their book distribution, which should help increase book sales).
