Looks like Dark Horse have stopped publishing Disney comics too.
One I've been expecting but haven't seen announced by any publisher is a Soul graphic novel. The new Pixar movie has a digtal release on Disney+ today. And the upcoming Raya and the Last Dragon: The Graphic Novel is not going to be published by Dark Horse.
Also, Disney Villains: Ursula and the Seven Seas seems to have been cancelled. It's deleted from Previewsworld and Amazon say release January 2, 2079
OT about searching: Over at support.proboards.com tons of people have the same problem and are requesting a reindex of their forum. I'm not sure if this can be requested in any admin options (doesn't sound that way) or if you need to do a public forum post over there to get it fixed..
A little workaround is to ex. use the following search on google: "site:featherysociety.proboards.com casty"
Image #7, #8 and left part of #9 are from a magazine called "G.I.Comics" that was not in regular sale but distributed within the US army. But I'm not sure what issue these are from.
There seem to have been endless attempts to reprint these Woodchuck stories in complete collections over the last fifteen years that have failed.
Could you elaborate on this? I know a second volume of Gemstone's "Donald Duck Family: The Daan Jippes Collection" was planned but never published. But I think the second volume was supposed to focus on the Milton stories (that ended up in Disney Masters #4) rather than more Barks stories like volume 1. And Gemstone stopped publishing all comics at that point. I haven't heard of any other failed attempts. I have a couple of European books collecting Jippes+Barks stories, and they seemed successful enough.
Doesn't look that way. For the first four volumes we got both Mickey Mouse/Donald Duck "gift sets" and collector's box sets with the books cronologically. But last year we only got collector's boxes for volume 5-8, and it looks like that is the case this year too for volume 9-12. Even the two Ice Sword Saga books are in two different box sets (not that I'm complaining - I actually prefer it this way)
Fantagraphics have created a new and fancy website, but for the Disney Masters series it's kind of annoying trying to check for news...
You can sort the series by "Featured", "Best selling", "Alphabetically, A-Z","Alphabetically, Z-A, "Price, low to high" and "Price, high to low". But by volume number/publication date that is the most logical way to sort the books, nope. So you need to scroll up and down make a list in your head if you want to find out what new books are planned.
The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck Artist's Edition Vol. 2 HC JAN180569 (W) Don Rosa (A/CA) Don Rosa The second volume in Don Rosa's opus is presented in the award-winning Artist's edition format! Critically acclaimed and internationally renowned storyteller Don Rosa continues his historic overview of the life of Scrooge McDuck. Taking Carl Barks' iconic character and presenting his entire life from humble beginnings to unimaginable riches was a herculean task, but one Don Rosa met head on. These stories are justifiably viewed as classics and earned Rosa the prestigious Eisner Award. Now, with the full cooperation and assistance of Rosa, IDW Publishing is proud to present the second volume of The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck. Included in this edition will be a cover gallery and a selection of Rosa's layouts done for these stories.
While appearing to be in black and white, each page has been scanned in color to mimic as closely as possible the experience of viewing the actual original art-for example, you are able to clearly see paste-overs, blue pencils in the art, editorial notes, and art corrections. Each page is printed the same size as drawn, and the paper selected is as close as possible to the original art board. In Shops: May 23, 2018 SRP: $150.00
The date for this book is now changed to Jan 27, 2021:
(Do you want more? I can see there's more than one broken link under that series.)
Looks like an error that needs to be fixed, yes. But the reason isn't becasue of the domain, but becase the image name is changed and a cleanup job is not done. Here's a quick fix if you need the HR images:
On broken links, add "_001" right before ".jpg" and the link will probably work. Ex.:
From what I can see, the OUTDUCKS domain has been taken over by a casino which means that the majority of the high res scans on INDUCKS (which used to be hosted on that site) gives you an "access denied" message. Any solution planned?
The inducks team decided to not use the outducks domain any more, and when they didn't renew it for another year someone else registered it instead.
The gallery pages that used to be on outduck.org wasn't updated in more than a decade and didn't show all user uploaded scans that was uploaded from the inducks.org page and such. And as you can view a gallery of covers on inudcks.org too it was decided it wasn't necessary to keep both domains. I think the reason they originally decided on two was to keep the scans separated from the database for legal reasons.
No data is lost by not using the outducks domain anymore, but some links might be broken.
I just tested now and everything seems to work for me. Could you give an example of a link with "access denied"?
It looks like that file is on the outducks domain, but it really is not. Everything behind "image=" is just input data for the webpage to read and doesn't have to be a link. It probably made sense programming it this way back in the days having it look like the file was from somewhere else, and I can see it is a bit confusing now.
Maybe we'll get a Midthun volume in Disney Masters one day (*hoping*), with some of these stories. Some of them have a bit of a local theme, but last year's A Christmas Crossing (Egmont's internal English title) should get an English print at least. The entire story fits right into The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck taking place between a couple of time skipping panels in The Billionaire of Dismal Downs.

In other news, the October Previews catalog was a disappointment with no "classic" Disney comics scheduled for December. I was wondering about the release schedule for the new Wizards of Mickey series, but according to Amazon volume 2 won't be out until February.
But checking the Indiegogo page, I see that one of the perks was the Don Rosa House Tour DVD. I have that DVD, but my question is: did they send out this DVD as a perk for backing this project (without the book being finished), or was it possible to buy the DVD from somewere else? All this was so long ago I don't even remember.
The original French book is called Mickey All Stars too. According to inducks it looks like the book is a compilation of one-pages from various creators. There are other books in the series, like Café "Zombo", Mickey et l'océan perdu and Horrifikland that looks more interesting (to me at least) than this one, and I hope we get those in English someday too.
The Wizards of Mickey book is the most interesting news this month. The stories in the first volume have previously been published in English digitally and (as a huge mess) by Boom! But it sounds like more volumes are planned, and I've been wanting to check out some of the more recent Wizards stories.
Also, Yen Press haven't been publishing these kinds of Disney comics before. They are mostly focusing on manga style comics, but maybe that is changing now (?)
