In my opinion, one of the most overrated stories of Casty. And I was hoping for his undisputed masterpiece Topolino e l'impero sottozero. But I don't think they'll bring two Atomo stories in the same volume (and there won't be room for more stories).
I am beyond thrilled for the Casty volume but I was hoping for the volume to contain the Darkenblot sequels. The original story is in my top 5 MM tales.
I really like to see new volumes for artists: - Tony Strobl (e.g. Safari From Komba Tomba) - I know the art is not as good as by other artists but I like the stories (I'm a nostalgic reader). They release many Paul Murry stories - why not Tony Strobl? - Marco Rota - Giorgio Cavazzano (the Marbella stories please!) - Pier Lorenzo De Vita (he has a very different style, stories like "Der Ring des Nibelungen") - Casty (already requested a lot) - and as many Romano Scarpa as possible!
I know there's already a Capri volume, but it's mostly his early work and I don't think that's fully representative. I'm not sure how keen Americans are on literary parodies, but he did a few pretty great ones in the 1980s. And unlike the previous volume, these he wrote these stories as well.
Mystery of the Candelabra (108 p.) is a retelling of Les Miserables, and the 40th highest-rated Disney comic on INDUCKS (4th non-American, 1st not printed in the US).
Tony Strobl is someone who has done many, many stories...and that also works against him, with so many to choose from that are all fairly similar...how do you pick the best of them? Vicar has this problem too, although I think that Vicar was a better artist than Strobl.

Oh, I'm sure David Gerstein would be up to the task.

Here in Norway we got one Strobl volume and two Vicar volumes in our Hall of Fame series, so there's already a couple curated "best of" lists of their stories they could use as a starting point:
