Classic Disney comics return in October!

Boom! Studios is bringing Disney's classic comic book characters back to the stands in a big way this fall. Gemstone's license to publish comics featuring Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse and the like ran out a while back, and Boom! is picking up where they left off.

Check out these solicitations for October. I don't know how much I'll enjoy the sci-fi/fantasy-themed Donald and Mickey comics. I'm more of a Carl Barks guy, myself. But it looks like there's plenty here for everyone to enjoy. I know my kids will enjoy seeing some of this stuff.
