Another month without any news about the "Walt Disney Showcase" series mentioned in the June Crosstalk page. It's starting to look like we won't get that series after all.

But speaking of the Crosstalk page in the IDW comics, the August one have the text "And now Donald and Mickey is back for another go-round, while the characters' solo titles go on hiatus." So it sounds like the door isn't completely closed for the return of the regular titles at some point.

[Matilda]

Yay, a new Rota story! Even when his stories don't move me, I always love his art. And I do like pirate treasure! Also looking forward to the Erickson Magica story. (Clever promo line, by the way, with the "Achilles heel"!) I may go for the B cover on that one.

I won't give up on Walt Disney Showcase until and unless Ramapith tells us to. I'm still assuming it was just put off for a while. That kind of thing happens all the time in comics publishing.

FINALLY a new Van Horn comic! But why the "(retro DuckTales)"? That's not really what Van Horn is known for...

Yes, but it's the only specific series he's known for having done. It's like Rota, whose brackets mention "Andold Wild Duck", which is far from the only kind of stories he did, but is his most memorable "special" thing.

[Ramapith]

That's right. And since IDW is also producing a tie-in comic for the new DuckTales, it makes sense to mention Van Horn's connection to the original—so fans of the new might be more likely to discover our whole range of Duck-universe comics.

Walt Disney Showcase, by the way, got postponed, but is now planned to launch in January.

Hoorah! Thanks for updating us with the good news.

[squeakyboots]

Updated the first post with properly embeded cover art images as well as the solicits for Mickey Mouse Timeless Tales Vol. 3 and another Mickey trade.

And allow me to say that I really dig William Van Horn's stuff. Bring on whatever you got of him.

I'm looking forward to not just the new stuff, but also the hardcover collecting the rest of the IDW Mickey Mouse issues. I've said this before, but it bears repeating: IDW's Mickey Mouse series has been one of the best runs of Mickey Mouse since the Gladstone issues. I'm glad we're still seeing more Mickey stories in Donald and Mickey, even when it would be tempting to go "All ducks, all the time" to try to catch the DuckTales crowd.

[number1dime]

I see these Donald and Mickey's but yesterdays issue said 1 shot.

IDW has been late on a lot of stuff recently and canceling quite a few titles.

[number1dime]

Oh just saw next subject on that. I havent been on here in almost 2 months.
