Disney Comics Solicitations November 2017
Hello Mouseketeers
Starting this month, I will be combining both Joe Books and IDW listings under one article to make it easier for Disney fans to see all comic book content in one convenient link. This month from Joe Books, we have a special issue of Disney Princess honouring the 80th anniversary of the first princess, Snow White. Featuring both reprints from earlier issues and new content, this is one issue for everyone. In other news, we have a 48 page adaptation of Disney Pixar’s upcoming film Coco as well.
In terms of IDW offerings, we have the second one-shot of Donald and Mickey featuring a new tale by Marco Rota and William Van Horn. In Uncle Scrooge #32, the wicked Magica DeSpell uses her wicked magic to invoke some super powered Beagles to break into Scrooge’s money bin and cause mayhem. In Duck Tales #3, spooky haunts are sure to delight Scrooge, Della and Donald in their continuing adventures and finally in Star Wars Adventures #4, a young boy learns of an untold adventure of his favourite heroes Luke and Leia Skywalker.
In other offerings from IDW, we have both the next volumes of Mickey Mouse and Mickey Mouse Timeless Tales for sale at later points in 2017 and 2018. Lots for everyone this month, hopefully a certain blonde haired princess might pop up in IDW’s pages in the near future.
