RUMOR: BOOM! losing classic Disney titles?

/It appears that BOOM! Studios has stopped soliciting for new issues of 
its Kaboom! titles based on Classic Disney properties such as /Donald 
Duck/, /Uncle Scrooge/, /Mickey Mouse/, and /Walt Disney's Comics and 
Stories/.  There are no listings for those titles in the Diamond 
/Previews/ for titles shipping in July, and there are no longer any 
links for subscriptions to those titles offered on the Boom Website. /
/BOOM! is continuing to solicit (at least for now) for its titles based 
on Disney Afternoon properties such as //Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers, 
Darkwing Duck, and //Ducktales./
/A BOOM! spokesperson declined to comment on any questions related to 
its Disney titles. /
/As we predicted when Disney acquired Marvel back in 2009 (see "Disney's 
Marvel Comics <http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/15746.html>"), Disney 
appears to be in the unannounced process of bringing its comic 
properties in-house for Marvel to publish.  The process began with Pixar 
titles, formerly licensed to BOOM! (see "Marvel Gets Pixar 
<http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/19420.html>"), continued with Muppets 
(see "Marvel to Publish Langridge's 'Muppets' 
<http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/19829.html>"), and now appears to be 
entering a new phase with the Classic Disney titles. /
/BOOM! has done a nice job with its Disney titles; will Marvel do as 
well?  So far the biggest change has been in format, where Marvel has 
announced magazine-sized titles for both its Muppets- and Pixar-based 
titles./

This is pretty disappointing as I also feel the BOOM! was doing well 
with the Disney titles and hoped they'd continue to do so.
