I randomly discovered this masterful story in a recycling bin! Its title in my mother tongue was
''Hurricane of the ages'' or something along these lines. I didn't manage to find its original title
on google. Oh, well, let's move on to the review.
This Mickey Mouse story is written and designed by Casty. Even though Don Rosa is my favourite
Disney creator as a career total, my favourite single story is this one. It has the atmosphere of
a Hollywood hit movie, a plot that handles the time travel concept in an ingenious way and a
bunch of twists towards the end.
The story starts with a page before the title panel. There, we can see Mickey Mouse desperately
warning a group of unknown people (judging from their uniforms, they must work in a scientific
base) about a destruction that is about to come in less than 24 hours and will change human
history forever.
After the title panel, the scenery cuts to 1492 and Columbuses ships travelling to America. Then,
as opposed to how the initial history went, a group of futuristic ships, much larger than medieval
ones, crushes Columbuses fleet, while heading towards Europe.
The story moves forward to the present, to what seems a normal day for Mickey. Suddenly, people
and objects around him start disappearing. A tidal wave coming out of nowhere is slowly swallowing
the reality our mouse faced hero knows. Mickey is saved by a mysterious voice and a portal that
sucks him inside.
When he wakes up, he finds himself in a surrealistic world, incredibly advanced in technological
fields, with buildings in Aztec style and with people that are happy at an extent that make you
wonder whether they're brainwashed.
Mickey soon discovers the versions of many of his old acquaintances, as they are in that surrealistic
dimension. For instance, Goofy is a rebel, Minnie is a pirate and Black Pete is a not so honest
trader. Also, Mickey's version in this dimension is the president of the whole planet!
As it turns out, the voice that saved Mickey belongs to Uma, a blonde, mouse faced girl that
Mickey seemingly met in an older story which i haven't read. Uma and Mickey work together
to find out that the person responsible for that weird alteration of human history is nicknamed
Phoenix and shows up once per 100 years.
At first, i suspected that Phoenix guy was Phantom Blot, but i was miserably wrong. I won't
tell anything else, because i hate spoiling the plot of what i think is the most legendary Disney
story ever created.
If there is one story in the world its worth doing anything in your power to read, it's this one.
Rating: 10/10
