I'm not sure I understand your outrage.  I mean, Rosa & Barks 
stories are a guarentee, but I would be outraged if that was 
ALL that the titles offered.  I, for one, don't look forward to
more Barks reprints, though I am willing to live with "some"
reprints.  I mean, I'm pretty certain I have EVERY single Barks
story ever printed for Disney in one form or another (including
special editions, libraries and even foreign Disney comics).
I enjoy Barks' stories, but I'm not clamouring for more reprints,
though I do realize there is a market for them and as such they
should be a staple in one or more of the current titles offered
by Gemstone... most notably, UNCLE SCROOGE or DONALD DUCK. 

Rosa, on the other hand, has only had a few years of publication
in the USA and there are many of his stories that have never seen
print in the US so I look forward to those.  Still, those are
Duck stories, so they certainly fit in with UNCLE SCROOGE and
DONALD DUCK titles.

That leave three other titles: DONALD DUCK ADVENTURES (digest),
WALT DISNEY COMICS & STORIES and MICKEY MOUSE AND FRIENDS.  If
these three titles are completely full of only Barks & Rosa 
stories, then I think Gemstone is going to have some problems,
not just with me (who is more of a Mouse fan than Duck fan),
but with Disney, who is licensing their Mouse characters too.

WDC&S has a tradition of featuring not just Donald and Scrooge,
but Goofy, Mickey, Pluto, and yes, Li'l Wolf, too.  As well as
a plethora of other characters like Li'l Hiawatha, Silly Symphony
characters like Bucky Bug, Snow White, Gremlins and many, many
others.  

I think it is very unfair of you to insist that ALL FIVE titles
be filled with only Barks & Rosa stories, and I guarentee I would
be one of the first to write in and complain to Gemstone if that
were indeed all they published.

I hope to see many creators' works pass through the pages of
these titles, including Scarpa, Branca, Gerstein, Taliaferro,
Marin, Gottfredson, Murry, Stobl, Van Horn, Cavazzano, Di Vita,
Ferrari, Carpi, the Jaime Diaz Studio, Bottaro, Rota, Gilbert,
and so many others besides just Barks & Rosa....

For me, Disney comics are more than just Donald & Scrooge and
more than just Rosa and Barks. I want to experience as much
of Disney comics as publication can give me.

Just my humble opinions.
