[squeakyboots]

DuckTales #2 (IDW)
AUG170385
(W) Joey Cavaleri (A) Antonello Dalena, Andrea Greppi, Roberta Zanotta, Gianfranco Florio (CA) Marco Ghiglione
Woo-oo! Two stories of adventure, involving chickens, sheep, and...Vikings?! Oh my! Donald, Scrooge, and the Nephews join SPOILER! as they quest for unimaginable riches and treasures untold.
Bullet Points:
* Features two stories: "A Viking at my Door" and "Old Monteplumage Had a Chicken!"
* The animated series has already been renewed for a second season!
* You'll quack-up as Donald, Scrooge, the Nephews and their friends solve mysteries, rewrite history, and more!
In Shops: Oct 11, 2017
SRP: $3.99

So IDW kind of goofed on this one. The character in silhouette on the cover is obviously meant to be a surprise. (It's a character that has never appeared in animated form before.) But then they ruin it by putting their name in the description anyway. For anyone who doesn't want the surprise ruined for them, I covered it up above.

"It's an alternate universe ... it's an alternate universe ... it's an alternate universe ..." (I tell myself).

Looks like they fixed the solicit text to remove the spoiler!

Anyway, I'm glad to find out that the DuckTales comic is going to be monthly, starting with #1 in September.

Did you get to see who the surprise character was?
We should probably open another thread to discuss this since we don't want to sully the experience for those who wish to remain spoiler-free, but it deserves to be discussed since it's huge.

Nope, I didn't. Yes, it's a good idea to open another thread to discuss it.

Following the movie adaptations from Joe Books is becoming more and more confusing.

Listed in the "At the Movies" series are Lilo & Stitch and Hercules, both anniversary edtitions. So I would expect the Snow White anniversary edition to be in this series too, but instead it's listed as a one-shot.

And speeking of the "At the Movies" series, here are the still not realeased ones with the originally planned date:

APR171810 AT THE MOVIES #2 LILO & STITCH 06/14/17 SRP: $4.99
APR171811 AT THE MOVIES #3 CARS 3 06/28/17 SRP: $4.99
MAY171656 AT THE MOVIES #4 HERCULES 07/26/17 SRP: $4.99
JUN171734 AT THE MOVIES DISNEY TANGLED 08/30/17 SRP: $4.99

The dates for Lilo & Stitch and Hercules are now listed as Dec 27, so I wouldn't be surprised if they are being canceled too.

All these movie adaptations really are is just something some division at the Disney Studio puts together around the time of that movie's release and most of them have been available on Comixology for years. (Cars 3 may be an exception since that movie just came out.) Joe Books must be going through something rough if they can't ever release a single issue of pre-existing material in time.

I want to know why they're still soliciting these when they have a big backlog of them that seem to be never coming out. I'd be shocked if the Tangled one came out since IDW  now has comics based on the TV series starting around the same time.

[squeakyboots]

So not really anything to do with the comics solicited this month but it's still a thought that may be worth discussing.

It was revealed a couple days ago at San Diego Comic Con that Darkwing Duck will make an appearance in the new DuckTales tv series.

There's also an image of his new design floating around out there but I couldn't find that at the moment.

I wonder if this is the reason why Joe Book's Darkwing comic got cancelled earlier this year. Because he's now part of the DuckTales cast which IDW has the license for. It could just as easily not be the case given the fate of Joe Books releases but it's still got my brain rattling. Maybe this opens the door for IDW to start releasing Darkwing comics?

[The KKM]

If so, I hope they're allowed to continue a Darkwing Duck legacy comic instead of being forced to change to the new continuity.

[squeakyboots]

At the Movies #3 comes out next week. At the Movies #2 is still MIA.

I just don't know anymore.

The spoiler hasn't been completely eradicated. I noticed it's still in the solicit text on the website of the online comic book store I ordered the issue from.

[squeakyboots]

It was up for more than five seconds. The damage has been done.

And they didn't even bother to have the retailers correct the solicit, it appears, or they were ignored.
At this point they may as well put the character on the covers, instead of that ugly black space with the question mark on it.
