Unfortunately it doesn't seem like they will continue in the same style as Gemstone. It will only be 24 pages with superhero disney characters. Mostly targetet at kids I guess, so I'm not gonna buy it.

Tom:

I haven't seen any mention of the Disney duck books being picked up by Boom Studios anywhere on their site.  The only mention of anything Disney related is the Disney/Pixar Muppet comics deal from May which isn't duck related. I haven't seen any mention of this online...  Should I assume this is speculation - or did it actually happen?  If so, can anybody show me a reliable source?
My experiences with negotiating a license with Disney (it's a wringer every licensee has to go through, though the Boom folks obviously have experience of their own with that already) lead me to believe it will be some time before we know anything "yea!" or "nay!" on the matter. On the other hand, that means that for the time being no news can be considered, well, neutral news anyway.

Collectors won't be forgotten... they're just not the main target audience.

Not sure if I agree with them relying on pamphlet comics in the age of the graphic novel... but we'll see.
They're definitely not Gladstone/Gemstone. Seems a deliberate choice... for better or worse.

Or, y'know, they could have said as much on Saturday: <http://newsarama.com/comics/060921-Boom-Disney.html> ;-)

"We’re
going to start to approach the Mickey and Donald material from a
completely different direction, and we’re going to try to have
something that at the same time is less the ‘greatest hits’ reprints
and more dovetails into what the Boom Kids stuff is, which is sort of
an add to and extension of, modern presence creative take on these
classic characters that I think can connect with kids today." — Ross Richie (BOOM!
Studios’ co-founder and Publisher) 
Yes, it's disheartening and embarrassing to watch publisher after publisher approach these characters as if they're only interesting when they're superheroes (Gemstone had its share of those stories, especially in their first year with the license). On the other hand, I'm VERY happy that there's no Barks in these books!

<< everyone reaches for tar and feathers >>

Now, hang on: Barks' work is excellent! If you were to say that his are the best Duck stories ever told, I would have a difficult time arguing with you. However... that does not mean their place is in a monthly book (especially one that's under 48 pages). And so I'm very happy that the folks at BOOM! seem to agree.

Barks and the other "greats" all belong in long-format collections like the CBL. Classic such as those are cheapened when they're used as cheap filler for monthly books. The periodical pamphlet -- at least in the U.S.A. -- is expected to contain all-new, serialized works. Reprints in periodicals give readers the impression that the publisher is just trying to save a few bucks (and, to be honest, that *is* very often the case).

So while I don't agree that these particular stories are the best choices for BOOM!'s relaunch of the Disney comics, I do believe that they're a better fit for the existing U.S. market (that is, a better fit than issues full of Barks, Rosa, Van Horn, Scarpa, Gottfredson, etc.).

And now that I've stuck my neck out on their behalf, I look forward to BOOM! proving me right in saying all that. ;-)

The main problem with reprints of Barks stories is that I already have all of 
his stories, so I'm effectively paying several times for the same story. I find 
it good that Boom plan to publish other stories (although I've already got 
Wizards of Mickey in Swedish).

Subject: Help me place this duck story

A friend of mine form work remembers reading a duck story to her son
that went something like this: Uncle Scrooge is nervous that his money
is going to stolen out of the bin and decides to move it in to a
pyramid. The Beagle Boys catch wind of this and build a fake pyramid,
where Scrooge places his money.

Can anyone place this story? She is eager to reread it and I told her
I would help her place it.

Thanks!
