With this 12 part story taking up a chunk of WDCS for the first year, will we be seeing a Jippes or Van Horn 10 pager each month too or will it just be a short duck story?

We've got a Jippes 10-pager planned for the first issue, and some shorter Duck stories (and other stories) planned for later issues.

But we've got plenty of ten-page backups in Donald Duck??by a wide variety of talent.

Will we see the unprinted-in-the-US Van Horn shorts and The Duck Who Came to Dinner?

Hi I'm new here. I found this forum when I heard about the IDW revival. Just got Uncle Scrooge #405. It's great. Kudos to ramapith and his team at IDW. It's great to see these European stories finally printed in The USA. When you do get around to printing obscure USA material I really want to see more Bill Wright, Mark Evanier and Bob Gregory (from when he was just a writer, not an artist.) Along with Harry Gladstone's Birthday Bugaboo and the obscure Don Christen Story "Having a Panic"

Did we ever figure out exactly what the contents of the trade paperbacks are?

No, we don't, but there's the Amazon link to the next TPB:

The trade paperbacks for each of the four Disney titles are being released on the same day that the fifth issue of each title comes out. Each TPB will likely be reprints of the first four issues. There is a thread on the IDW forum devoted to the TPBs. Check it out!

Just read US#1! A lot of fun. I really liked, in an age of getting the barest fraction of a complete story in a single issue, getting two complete stories (and a one pager) in a comic. Despite both being drawn by Scarpa; different writers, different inkers, and the time difference made for stories so different I would never of guessed they had the same penciler. I'm really looking forward to the variety offered by the anthology aspect of these books. Don't like one story? Well, here comes a completely different kind of story!
... and I just loved the presentation! It's obviously a book put together with a lot of love. Can't wait to have four of these every month!

I'm the first to admit that Scarpa's style isn't my favorite, but I found Gigabeagle to be a pretty funny story, especially once it got going and found its stride.
The expression on Donald's face on the last panel was particularly memorable.
On a side note, did anyone notice the coloring error on the next to last page? I'm assuming those were supposed to be the police and not the Beagle Boys.

Picked up US 1 and the print quality and lack of ads are excellent, haven't read it yet. I'll definitely be getting the first issue of each series and hopefully figuring out an economical way to subscribe, since IDW doesn't seem to offer direct.

I live pretty rural but arranged for the comic shop in the nearest "city" (about a 30 minutes away) to pull the Disney titles for me.
I also noticed that Midtown Comics will pull comics and mail them, with a minimum of 10 titles. That doesn't help much now, but when all four title are running, and Darkwing Duck is back, that could get you to 10 if you collect the different covers.

Since IDW's first Uncle Scrooge comic is identified on the cover as "#1 (405)" and the advertisement on the inside back cover announces the upcoming issues as #2, #3 and so on, does that mean that future Uncle Scrooge comics will no longer use the original numbering? Or will the next issue say "#2 (406)"? To avoid confusion, IDW should pick one number or the other and not use both. Hey, maybe publisher Ted Adams could let us vote! I cast my vote for keeping the original numbering from now on.

I think the combo numbering works nicely, but if I had to choose just one numbering system to keep, it would be the new numbering, only because it is more new reader friendly, Maybe I'd put the "legacy" number on the inside of the book somewhere.

I do not know why you get nervous, but on the covers of three next issues "Uncle Scrooge" is double numbering, and I think double numbering will be in each following issue.
And the fact that in the advertising is only a new numbering? For example the first issue of "Uncle Scrooge" was also advertised everywhere as "Uncle Scrooge #1", despite having double numbering on the cover.

As I said, there have been many comic-book titles which have had two or three #1 issues, Superman and Fantastic Four among them. Far too many publishers have no sense of history or heritage. Origins are rewritten, continuities are changed, dead characters are brought back to life, living characters are killed ...and the numbering is started over with a new #1. A youngster who sees an Uncle Scrooge comic numbered #1 will think it's a brand-new title, but a youngster who sees Uncle Scrooge #405 might think, "Wow, this title has been around for decades! It must be good. I'm going to start buying it every month."
Well.....that could happen.
Do I dare bring up the "fact" that Scrooge was born in 1880? How do we explain the existence of a duck who is 125 years old? Wak!
