I was surprised that no art for the new comics were posted yet, but here they come!

:shock: :shock: :shock:
This looks GEORGEOUS!!! I honestly didn't expect a result like that. (I still remember the old comics and they definitely were not on the same level) It looks even much better than Darkwing (which was already at a great quality level!)
I guess the cover art is representative of the book inside artworks, because the same artist is doing them.

I'll DEFINITELY be getting them, and I'm now looking for a Talespin comics like MAD!!! (as if I could await them even more :mrgreen: )

Also, from the interview with Ian Brill (writer of both comics) :

Quote:
Nrama: So we've got a Darkwing Duck ongoing, now a Rescue Rangers ongoing, and Duck Tales stories in the Uncle Scrooge book. Not to get too speculative about it, but what other Disney animated properties do you think could work as a comic in the current day? TaleSpin sure seems like a natural next step.

Brill: There are lots of great shows and stories from the Disney Afternoon, all the stuff I listed above in my first answer. BOOM! is certainly paying attention to how these books do and considering what options to take. Darkwing Duck did well and now we have Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers. If this book does well ... who knows!


EDIT : But I'm disappointed again... :|

http://www.comicsalliance.com/2010/09/0 ... from-boom/

Quote:
CA: Should we be expect any more comics based on the Disney Afternoon from you or Boom!? (Please say TaleSpin, please say TaleSpin...)

IB: It's rare that we hear "TaleSpin." Most of the feedback about wanting more Disney Afternoon shows ask us about "Gummi Bears." All I can is that since "Darkwing Duck" did well we got "Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers." If this book does well there are certainly many great options for Boom! to consider.


What? That's strange...I haven't seen anyone asking for a Gummi Bears at least on the web : not on Boom forums, not on Twitter, not on comic book articles, not on any forums...And clearly the opposite for Talespin! (including these two interviewers!!!)
I know it's very famous too, but I'm surprised by Ian Brill's reaction

So, Gummi Bears, then Gargoyles...then there will be no more room for another DA monthly comic book.

I think I have to make up my mind and admit that, yes, Talespin will never get any kind of revival, or not before years :? No matter how much I want something to happen, it just NEVER does. If only that was the first time...but it's every time. I think I'm the one being cursed.

EDIT 2 : Ok this time, they're DEFINITELY driving me crazy. I asked Ian Brill about that and he answered "I may have been having a little fun there ;)". AAARRRGHHHH!!!

What is he having fun with? Gummi Bears? I think there is like ONE semi-active web page! If there are more I haven't seen them.

I'm not sure how to understand this. I think he just wanted to make a joke to the interviewer asking "please say Talespin, please say Talespin" by saying exactly the opposite of what he expected. (but still saying the word) I think it would help if we could HEAR the interview because of the tone he may have said that.

Or maybe Ian Brill prefers Gummi Bears a lot over Talespin so he said that on purpose. ( but he stated TaleSpin among his favorites at the beginning of the interview...)

Or maybe Boom already has plans for Gummi Bears so he wanted to give a hint on what is coming. (me think there would be other ways to do that though than to say Talespin is not wanted...)

Or maybe the opposite, Boom has plans for TaleSpin and he wants this to be a surprise...(erm...just me imagining things there)

Still, at least that means this statement was untrue...

What do you think, how do you understand that statement?

I went back and read this without your comments. I say he is being sarcastic. The interviewer was BEGGING for TS! Boom is playing and wants it to be a surpise or Disney won't let them do one and he is trying to avoid saying that. I have been to the forums and have seen a few Goof Trop requests but no Gummi Bears. I have seen plenty of TS request.

That's how some other people understood it, too. (the fact he was joking)
And as you said, maybe Disney wouldn't let them do that, OR...I may have a more precise idea. I'm still unaware if Boom is actually buying each property licence from Disney, or if they already have access to all of them. If it's the first one, then he doesn't want Disney to know too many people are requesting it, otherwise they would increase the price for letting them do it.

Is that too far stretched? Maybe not...Remember what happened to Gargoyles, why they stopped doing them.

Just as I predicted...It looks like the Rescue Rangers comic is cancelled.

The only Kaboom! titles for June are these ones :

FI JUN11 0963 ROGER LANGRIDGE SNARKED #0 08/24/11 SRP: $1.00 = $
KIDS JUN11 0964 DARKWING DUCK #15 (C: 1-0-0) 08/24/11 SRP: $3.99 = $
JUN11 0965 DARKWING DUCK TP VOL 03 FOWL DISPOSITION (C: 1-0-0) 08/24/11 SRP: $14.99 = $
JUN11 0966 DARKWING DUCK TP VOL 01 DUCK KNIGHT RETURNS (C: 1-0-0) 07/20/11 SRP: $14.99 = $
OA JUN11 0967 DARKWING DUCK TP VOL 02 CRISIS ON INFINITE DARKWINGS (O/A) (C: 1-0-0) 07/27/11 SRP: $14.99 = $
KIDS JUN11 0968 DUCKTALES #4 (C: 1-0-0) 08/24/11 SRP: $3.99 = $

Now we know why the subscription was removed.

That doesn't necessarily mean it's because the sales weren't good enough (and I don't think so, because CDRR was still selling more than other ongoings they have)
I'm now thinking that maybe, Disney/Marvel is getting these properties back progressively, but prevented from ending abruptly the series on a cliffhanger. (like they did for the Pixar series) The last issue will be #8, which is the end of the second arc - most likely not a coincidence. (The "classics" Disney titles were easier to cancel, because they're individual stories.)
We'll see if Ducktales goes through issue #5 and Darkwing Duck issue #17...

OR, as already mentioned, Boom! may turn away from the Disney stuff because both companies don't seem to be in good relations anymore.

What does that mean for us, TaleSpin fans? MARVEL...

Especially when the blame is on DISNEY, not BOOM. If Disney hadn't screwed up the Pixar deal, there would probably have been Gargoyles and TaleSpin comics...But now, they seem to want to get rid of every Disney book they're releasing.

I had a feeling it would happen. Nowadays, Disney loves to destroy our hopes :x

You're right steet. All the blame's on Disney. I don't understand why they did this though. Chip_BOOM confirmed that Issue 8's gonna be the last RR issue for the time being. He also said that DT's gonna take RR's spot, but I don't believe this. I jsut don't trust Boom anymore, because they've been lying to us fans for quite some time. I expect the DT comic book series to be canceled once the first story arc's done.

Seems like Boom! isn't in a great shape either way...considering they're laying off :

Quote:
My best wishes to my former BOOMies laid off last week: Chris Meyer and Travis Beatty are awesome cats. Only met Brett once, but liked him.


(tweet from Aaron Sparrow, who left Boom! just after the first Darkwing Duck arc - he was the one who brought up the series in the first place)
BTW, Aaron Sparrow has never been really clear on why he left Boom! (or if he was laid off) A real shame because he HAD plans for TaleSpin comics. (but they didn't have the rights to it anyway)

Aww...Well I hope the success of Darkwing Duck (and possibly Ducktales) could still open the possibility of a TaleSpin comic one day. Let's keep hope...
