There might be some titles I didn't include but I will add them later if you think of them.
Lars Jensen
Moby Duck, Chip 'n' Dale, Gargoyles and Dinosaurs.
And, even though you didn't include them, Super Goof and Scamp.
GeoX
All the "classic" titles, obviously. Also, Ludwig Von Drake! Why not?
Roger North
Thanks Lars and Geox. I'd like to see the classics restored too and most of The Disney Afternoon titles myself.
Matilda
I'd vote for Uncle Scrooge, Donald Duck, WDCS; I'll buy anything that's at least half classic ducks. I'd even vote for DuckTales, if Webbigail got to have a Chickadee guidebook, as she does in the English-language version of "The Arcadian Urn"! Personally, I'm pretty exclusively a duckfan; I think I have saved only three or four Mickey stories (Bungaloos, Pineapple Poachers...). I'm too old for the Disney Afternoon, and I'm not very attached to the comics based on the animated feature films, aside from The Little Mermaid (Trina Robbins' and Peter David's stories). I would like to see feminist-friendly comics based on Tangled, and probably also on the forthcoming Disney/Pixar feature Brave. At the very least, a comic-book adaptation of those two movies!
Debbie
I'd vote for Mickey Mouse. While we wouldn't need to use the Gottfredson stories, thanks to Fantagraphics, I'd like to revive Mickey's comic with stuff by Romano Scarpa, Casty, Paul Murry, Bill Wright, and Jack Bradbury, and maybe even see if we could find some new Mickey Mouse artists and writers who could craft something close to the spirit of Gottfredson's work (sort of a Don Rosa of the Mickeyverse).

A few you missed:
Daisy Duck's Diary
Donald and Daisy
Gyro Gearloose
Grandma Duck's Farm Friends
The Beagle Boys
Winnie The Pooh
Walt Disney's Christmas Parade
Donald Duck Beach Party
Donald Duck Family Album
Mickey Mouse Magazine
Wizards of Mickey
Disney's Ultra Heroes
Mickey Mouse: Super Secret Agent
Roger North
Those are all good choices Matilda, and Debbie. I hope the next company will be able to restore them all if it's possible to do so. Matilda if you think you're too old for The Disney Afternoon you don't know what you're missing. I'm guessing you were born before the seventies.
Thogru
A must have are all the classic titles.
And i always loved the season specials:
Walt Disney's Autumn Adventures
Walt Disney's Christmas Parade
Walt Disney's Holiday Parade
Walt Disney's Spring Fever
Walt Disney's Summer Fun
Walt Disney's Vacation Parade.
And of course i would like to have Tale Spin, Darkwing Duck, Duck Tales and Chip 'n' Dale.
Steet
The TaleSpin comics released by Disney in the 90's were pretty impressive (the Marvel ones, much less)
I don't live in the USA so I can't say much about the others.
Charlie Brown
I would like to see the classic titles Walt Disney's Comics and Stories and Uncle Scrooge back. WDC should include Mickey Mouse stories drawn by Romano Scarpa, Casty, Paul Murry, Bill Wright, and Jack Bradbury (like Debbie mentioned) and a mix of stories with the Beagle Boys, Grandma Duck, Super Goof, Li'l Bad Wolf and others. UC could be more focused on Scrooge (of cause) and the other ducks.
Each issue should have at least one story never published in the US (there are so many good unpublished stories from Europe).
After these two titles I would like to see some specials for the Christmas holidays and vacation times (spring, summer, fall). That's my opinion for the start.
Matilda
Yes, steet, and in my opinion Marvel actually did a better job on The Little Mermaid than the Disney Co. did, too (Marvel TLM's are the ones with Trina Robbins' stories).
Thogru and Charlie Brown, I also like the seasonal specials (the Disney Co. did a good job on those). And I want Madam Mim in WDCS! If Disney takes on the comics itself in this country, presumably they could use any of the characters they want to--Gemstone didn't have the license for the characters derived from feature films.
Debbie, I thought of Daisy Duck's Diary, but didn't mention it because those stories were almost all so obnoxiously sexist in my childhood. But the narrative style, which allows for more narration than usual and for a particular character-driven POV, has potential if they could shake off the sexism. The Daan Jippes/Freddy Milton "Coat of Harms" story is passable. It would be interesting to see whether a Daisy title (or other female-character-based title) could make a go of it in the USA. I know a bunch of girls who read Shojo and other manga, as well as graphic novels such as Zita the Spacegirl or Rapunzel's Revenge. The French Minnie Mag, aimed at girls, had stories (of various national origins) starring Minnie, Daisy, Magica, etc., and some of them are worth reprinting.
Roger North
You have all made good choices. Thankfully I have added a lot more titles up there.
Charlie Brown
Quote from user: MatildaAnd I want Madam Mim in WDCS!
I agree, Matilda! That would be great.

I never liked Daisy's Diary stories very much. I think the reason was (and is) this kind of narrative style.
Debbie
I agree, the Daisy Duck's Diary stories were sexist, but honestly, so were most portrayals of Daisy herself. She was mostly a worst-case-example of the bad girlfriend who is mostly there to set Donald's temper off in older comics and cartoons.
Mickey Mouse Annual is another I forgot, although that is not a series from the US. Archival reprints of "Mickey Mouse Magazine" or the British "Mickey Mouse Annual" would be fun collector-oriented series ideas.
Roger North
Bob Howdy you people have a lot of requests. It seems like a lot of you people are into the mainstream Disney Comics universes.
