Bringing Disney To Marvel
Ever since Disney’s acquisition of Marvel Comics in 2009, fans have waited 15 long years for a cross-over between the comic book giants and classic Disney cartoons. The wait is finally over! Coming next Wednesday, June 19th, Uncle Scrooge leads the pack as Marvel begins publishing comics that feature Disney’s classic characters.
The first to hit the shelves will be Uncle Scrooge and the Infinity Dime. In this riveting tale, Uncle Scrooge does battle against a multi-dimensional doppelganger of himself. Sounds exciting, right?
The Marvelous World of Donald Duck
But the Disney immersion into Marvel comics doesn’t stop with Uncle Scrooge. Later this year, the equally famous Donald Duck, along with other beloved Disney characters, will also gain the powers of Marvel’s superheroes. This will all be part of the What If…? comic book series.
The first to look out for is What If Donald Duck Became Wolverine?, scheduled for release on July 31st. Penned by Luca Barbieri and illustrated by Giada Perissinotto, this comic celebrates the 90th anniversary of Donald Duck.
