Not much exciting news in the catalog listing this month, we already knew most comics were going to have the next part of a story.

But it seems the format of WDC&S has changed a little. While most Disney comics from IDW have had one longer story and some shorter backup stories, WDC&C #735 had a collection of "10-pagers" instead (+/- 10 pages). And it looks like #736 and #737 are following this trend. I usually prefer the longer stories, but I don’t mind having one title dedicated to shorter stories. And with a new story with Garvey Gull and a Van Horn story that for some reason was not published in Norway – I’m looking forward to #737.

True, hex, we knew what three out of the four titles would bring in March. But I'm excited about the WDCS covers--both of them! I'll have to buy both for myself. I really like the cover A with Garvey Gull--nice dramatic angle, and I like it when secondary characters featured in a story make it onto the cover. And cover B is one of my all-time favorites. I put it on my list of "top five covers I'd like to see printed in the USA," so I'm pleased as punch about that one.

So regular Donald issues are put on hiatus because of avenger and quest comics? Does anyone know how long this will last?
Also I was surprised that wdcs isnt continuing with episodic serials, its what they always did, couple of 10 pagers just doesnt cut it anymore, at least not for me. It would be great to have some more long stories in there.

Donald is on hold only for 5 issues because of Donald Quest.

It's on heatus just because of the Donald Quest 5 part mini-series. Deadline for ordering from the January catalog is tomorrow, so we'll probably see the Previews February catalog with listing for April comics this weekend - and if we don't get any suprises we'll probably see Donald Duck #19 listed there.

Duck Avenger is alternating with Walt Disney's Comics and stories every second month.

This is not so bad for me as it will give me a chance to catch up, I just started collecting these...and is Duck Avenger a mini series or something that could go on indefinitely? I couldnt find the answer anywhere

We haven't seen any official information about the long term plans for the series. But so far the Duck Avenger series has followed the Italian Paperinik New Adventures (usually called PKNA) series in the same chronological order. When the various villains are introduced and readers are familiar with the universe I guess it's possible to skip some of the original issues and just publish the best ones and the ones with important continuity information. But I hope IDW doesn't do that, but aim to publish all stories in the original chronology. If they do, and sales are good we'll get at least 52 issues. But there's another 18 issue Italian series called PK2 that is a continuation of PKNA, and some other standalone stories that could be included in the American Duck Avenger series as well. So the series has the potential to go on for quite a while.

April solicitations are pushed one week for all companies.
So in 1 week we will have the April ones

edit : the DUCK AVENGER title is a new title. It didn't put anything else on hold like "Donald Quest" or "Mickey Mouse Shorts" did. I am looking forward to their next title though. Putting the normal series on hiatus was a brilliant idea
