What's that "TPB"? :|

Sorry I'm so noob...

I would agree on the TPB theory.
Either way, I'm happy. A total of $16 per month is very reasonable and IDW has done a great job with everything I've purchased from them.

Quote from user: Dutch Duckfan Down UnderIt feels a little bit weird that we're starting all the way back at #1, since it looks a bit like a generic Disney publication without the huge number behind it. Ah, maybe they'll revert back to the old numbering at some point.
I really would have preferred that they just stick to the clean, traditional numbering, but I guess they're trying to keep everyone happy with this dual numbering system. If that's the compromise we have to make, so be it. But to me the next issue of Uncle Scrooge will always be #405, not #1, although it looks like they'll always market their issues with the new numbering to attract collectors, and keep the traditional numbering on the cover as an allowance to long-time fans . Maybe they could have used the new numbering for variant covers, and the traditional numbering with their regular covers to serve the same purpose (variant covers is another thing I'm not crazy about, but again, looks like they're the rule these days among all comic book companies)? I assume (and hope) the Mickey and Donald books will follow the same dual numbering format, but can anyone confirm that? I wonder why WDC&S is being marketed with just the traditional issue numbering.

Quote from user: Dutch Duckfan Down UnderBy the way, now that WDC&S is back and running again with no. 723, whereas DC started renumbering all their old comics a few years back, that should make WDC&S something like the longest-running continuously-numbered monthly American comic book ever... or something?
Probably the longest-running continuously-numbered comic book still in publication, though? On a related note, Archie recently announced that they would be resetting their flagship title (with an issue number currently somewhere in the high 600s) to #1 in 2015. Of course, that comes with a completely new look. But I still think it's kind of betrayal of their long-time fans. Maybe they should follow the dual numbering system pioneered by IDW, it's not too late!

Quote from user: frikSo, if I understand this correctly, the TPBs will not reprint the contents of the individual issues that came before? For instance, the first Uncle Scrooge TPB will be released in August. Will this be a collection of the contents of the first four individual issues? You're saying......reprints of the material from the main books......At first I wasn't sure what you meant, but now I assume you mean the comics?
So my question would be answered with a yes?!

I would love to see the comics reprinted as HC editions. Isn't this common practice?

sk
We don't know for sure yet. But yeah, reprinting the contents of the individual comics is the common practice nowadays.

Quote from user: Baar Baar JinxDoes anyone have any idea why the Disney comics license is split between Joe books and IDW? I understand that Disney Princesses and Disney-Pixar are very different from the Duck and Mouse universes, but surely IDW could have easily handled Darkwing Duck and DuckTales? I would have thought they'd all come under one license. Just curious about how these things work.
IDW can print classic Disney Comics, while Joe Books can print Disney comics adapted from cartoons.
So, DuckTales and Darkwing are cartoons before comics, isn't it?

Archie has probably long-since brushed off most of their long-time fans with gimmick after gimmick, chasing a larger audience that seems to get bored quickly. By the very nature of their (older) books, Archie is the sort of comic that gets kids hooked on comics, but then they grow out of them. A few readers either stick with them or come back later in life out of nostalgia, but the material doesn't seem to inspire the same loyalty that Marvel/DC/and Carl Barks/Don Rosa do. Look at the comments on any news story about Archie Comics, and you'll find people saying things like, "Do they still print those?" or "Who reads those?" or "I haven't read an Archie Comic in years".
