This publisher looks like it's going under something. Half the stuff they solicited months ago just isn't coming out, Darkwing Duck seems to be dead at this point, Frozen is the only thing that ever shows up on a semi-consistent basis. What happened to the Cars and Toy Story comics?

I have heard that Darkwing Duck: The Definitively Dangerous edition recently went out of print. If you don't already own one, I would make sure to snag a copy soon.

Yeah, Joe Books release dates are really unpredictable.

Darkwing Duck #8 is now scheduled for March 8, and from twitter comments that seems to be the last issue. Aaron said that sales on the trades will show if the series is going to continue, but it doesn't sound promising.

Also, Joe Books has planned a series of movie adaptations (real comics not "cinestories") that seems to be delayed indefinitely. I made a list of all just to keep track:

ISBN-13: 978-1772752892 Disney The Lion King Movie Comic
ISBN-13: 978-1772752908 Disney•Pixar Finding Nemo: Movie Graphic Novel
ISBN-13: 978-1772752915 Disney•Pixar Finding Dory: Movie Graphic Novel
ISBN-13: 978-1772752922 Disney Tangled: The Story of the Movie in Comics
ISBN-13: 978-1772752939 Disney Zootopia Movie Comic
ISBN-13: 978-1772752946 Disney Beauty and the Beast: Movie Graphic Novel
ISBN-13: 978-1772752953 Disney Moana: Movie Graphic Novel
ISBN-13: 978-1772755244 Disney•Pixar Cars: Movie Graphic Novel
ISBN-13: 978-1772755039 Disney•Pixar Cars 3: Movie Graphic Novel

To my knowledge the Moana one is the only one that actaully is in sale. I'm not going to get most of these, but I pre-ordered the Zootopia one in May last year I think (and now I don't need it anymore as I've read the story)

They may be reprints of these Italian comic series:

Disney has been producing comic adaptations of almost all of their major animated films as far as Snow White. Beauty and the Beast and Lion King have already been released in the US back when those films were first released and most of the others should be available on Comixology. Joe Books actually did get Frozen out a couple years ago as well as some others that are included in their Disney Princess Treasury and Pixar Treasury.

I suspect this new At the Movies series is how Joe Books plans to release all these previously announced adaptations.

According to the writer of Frozen, the series is supposed to finish after Issue 6 since she is doing something else with the same artist for Joe Books.So I do not know why these solicits are showing more issues. Cars #1 has come out yesterday and consists of Italian stories from European Cars magazines.

[squeakyboots]

Maybe they're getting a new writer and artist for issues 7 onward and hadn't updated the solicit descriptions. They need to at least reach issue eight if they want to have a second trade release for it.

LOL at Cars #1 being delayed several months when it's just pre-existing material. Now to wait and see what Toy Story's fate is.

There's a Star VS the Forces of Evil trade coming out next week. I don't remember seeing this solicited earlier.

I saw the Star vs. trade on the January order forms, originally listed for a Feb 22 release (but the dates are always changed)

But after issue #4, I haven't seen any listing including more comics. But the last panel in #4 looks like this:



This suggest that a #5 is (or was) planned too. Anyone seen any info about this anywhere?
