Pretty much a light month this time around, only the new youth orientated Marvel comics, Duck Tales, the conclusion of Uncle Scrooge's First Millions ( Uncle Scrooge will return in January) and Disney Afternoon Giant #2 which will contain Rescue Rangers #3-4 and Duck Tales #3-4 from Boom Studios. 

In terms of paperbacks and hardcovers, we have the Incredibles mini-series from Dark Horse and a new volume of the Spider-Man newspaper comics collection from the same publishers as the Disney newspaper collections.

The only Classic Disney comic announced this month is Uncle Scrooge: My First Millions #4.

I would say the most exciting thing here is the confirmation that the regular Uncle Scrooge series will return in January.

I’m sorry, but having read some of it when it was offered as a digital download, I can’t get too excited about “All of Uncle Scrooge’s Millions”. Maybe with the right type of scripting, it could be better...but we’ll see. At least it’s only four of them.

Sorry to veer off topic here, but I notice this mini-series is entitled "Disney Uncle Scrooge". What's the thinking between branding every new thing "Disney" instead of "Disney's" as has been the tradition? For example, DuckTales '87 is "Disney's DuckTales" but DuckTales '17 is "Disney DuckTales". WDC&S' new name is "Disney Comics and Stories". Then you have "Disney Mickey Mouse" for the new shorts, and "Disney Christopher Robin". Just curious as to what prompted this trend.

My knowledge of english is limited: is it common to use the Anglo-Saxon genitive 's when the possessor is an abstract or collective entity (like a company) rather than a person? If yes, then forget this post. If not, then maybe Disney is trying to be read more perceived as the Disney company. This would explain why its Disney Christopher Robin (as in: the movie on Christopher Robin produced by the Disney company) rather then Disney's Christopher Robin (as in: the movie on Christopher Robin whose cinematic rights were once bought by Walt Disney).

I believe apostrophe-s can be used after a company name to denote possession, although no examples immediately spring to mind.  When I read "Disney's" I think of the company, not the man, but perhaps you're right and they're trying to put the corporation front-and-center in the public mind over an individual.

It's a branding thing, Disney did it for French Canadian publications for years. But yeah I am honestly worried about some of their other titles like Big Hero 6 being delayed month after month. Issue 1 was supposed to be out back in June and still has not hit stores

I get that, but was curious about the logic/thought process behind this particular decision. I often wonder about behind-the-scenes changes like that; I feel the same way when a corporation decides to change a longstanding, well-known name or logo for no apparent reason, although in those cases, putting something back in the public eye and creating a buzz is usually the impetus (not the case with "Disney's" and "Disney", obviously).
