Hey, where is the guy who complains at every IDW or fantagraphics solicitations about the absence of Van Horn?!? I wanna see him jubilee here and now!  

Concerning the cover posted here above, as you may know I do not like the 'puppetness' of too many Italian artists, and in particular I dislike the art of Freccero, especially when he works on stories rather than covers...but I must admit, the expression of Donald looking at Fethry's joypad in this one cover is just perfect!

Edit: Side note here. Why is IDW listing every Donald and Mickey issue as being a one shot? These clearly aren't one shots so that doesn't make sense to me. Especially when one of the stories in this issue is part 2 of a story from the last issue.

I loved Freccero's art in "Helmet of the Gods," and it was precisely because of the facial expressions, especially the range of expressions given to the professor in the last half of the story.

They probably think they will sell better as one-shots than as part of a series. They are numbered with small text at the bottom of the inside cover however, so they do have a number even if they are marketed as one-shots. But yeah, it seems a bit silly calling it a one-shot when they have a serialized story inside... And with cover variants it can be confusing when they are not numbered. People might end up buying both cover variants unintentionally thinking they are different issues. The first issue had a cover title making it more clear that the two variants was the same issue, but the second one did not.

Hopefully we'll soon have a full listing of all the stories that will be reprinted in the 90th Anniversary Mickey book. Will there be any new-to-the-USA stories?

The Amazon page has Floyd Gottfredson, Al Taliaferro, Carl Falberg, Paul Murry and Romano Scarpa listed as the book's authors. My guess is that it's going to be a best of collection featuring stories from multiple artists. This is the first time IDW is releasing this kind of book so it will be interesting to see.

[Spectrus]

The slated PKNA (Duck Avenger) adventures are among the best ever produced. Worth looking forward to, and it will mark the US debut of Francesco Guerrini's art - and what a debut that is! Guys 'n gals, you are in for a treat.

[sirtao]

quite late to the party but... I guess the third book of Duck Avenger will collect PKNA #4(Earthquake), #5(A Portrait of the Hero as a Young Duck) and #6(Spores)?

That said, revealing the plot-twist of Earthquake in the preview doesn't seems very smart.

Duck Avenger Vol. 3 will collect only issues #4 and #5. Subsequent volumes will likewise have two issues apiece.

Makes sense. Also since Spores is part I of the "Spores tetralogy" (the weakest part IMO).

That's disappointing considering it's still the same price as the first two volumes but I'll take what I can get.

[snowpeck]

Does this Duck Avenger book collect issues previously published by IDW, or am I reading right that this is the first to have new-to-North America stories?
