From today's Lying in the Gutters (green light):
I understand that Boom Studios has won the comic book license for "Walt Disney Comics And Stories," "Mickey Mouse And Friends," "Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck," "Donald Duck" and more.
Boom has recently shown much promise with its well received Disney Pixar and "Muppet Show" comic books, and this seems reward for its efforts,
Both titles were previously published by Steve Geppi's Gemstone, a publisher that has been seen to be suffering of late.
Expect to see this reflected in solicitations shortly.
This is exciting news. I haven't looked at BOOM's Pixar or Muppet books, but I'm happy someone else is interested in acquiring the license. Because despite Gemstone's statements to the contrary, I think it was pretty obvious they were done with the thing. So I'm crossing my fingers and hoping they don't make these $7.99 titles.
