New stories of Disney's MINNIE AND DAISY coming from Papercutz

By pghhead -


EDITOR’S NOTE:  One of the things I appreciate about the Disney Company is that when it

comes to their comics properties, they spread the love around.  It would be very easy for

Disney to give Marvel exclusive rights since they own that publisher - - but they allow

other companies like Papercutz and IDW to work and create within the Disney universe of

characters. Here’s news of an upcoming title, courtesy of Michelle Hart at Papercutz . . . .

For many bookish types, the characters that appear within the pages of their favorite stories can often feel like close friends. I know I’m not alone in imagining myself casting spells with Harry and Hermione, galavanting through Longbourne with Elizabeth Bennet, or discovering the secrets of the world with Geronimo and Thea Stilton. 

The desire to be friends with fictional characters is especially strong in stories aboutfriendship, which is certainly the case with our MINNIE AND DAISY series, which features the first ladies of Disney, Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck, palling around in contemporary settings. On July 11, we’ll be releasing “Fashion Passion,” the second volume of MINNIE AND DAISY, featuring six all-new stories of friendship and loyalty!

The stories in this volume demonstrate the usual challenges friends face—not only from outside influences but from within their own relationship! In one story, Minnie and Daisy face obstacles created by their classroom rivals—Abigail and her sidekick twin sisters, Millie and Molly. In another, Minnie and Daisy play “the fashion game,” which reveals the difference between the way the two friends dress; Minnie creates her own clothes while Daisy prefers to buy new clothes from the mall. Finally, Daisy scores two tickets to see their favorite band perform, but Daisy planned to go with someone other than Minnie. Will their friendship survive in tact?

Minnie and Daisy’s motto is to “be friends and be yourself.” Through thick and thin, their friendship guides them. Together, learn not only to accept each other’s differences, but to embrace them! MINNIE AND DAISY: “Fashion Passion” is a great book for young girls wanting to see an enduring female friendship!

Robert Kirkman: Invincible, Walking Dead, Wolf-Man

I wasn't actually a huge fan of Robert Kirkman when I first started reading his books.  He was competent, sure, but I didn't see the appeal-- The Irredeemable Ant-Man was a boring side story in the middle of  Civil War and  The Initiative (although I've since changed my mind about this), and his  Ultimate X-Men run was, in many places, a mixed bag (although I did very much enjoy his "Phoenix?" storyline).  And  Marvel Zombies  just seemed like a ridiculous idea--not that I bothered to try it at the time. Now, though?  I've completely reevaluated my opinion on his work, and when his name is attached to a project, I'm far more likely to give it a look.  I don't know if I'd classify him as a master storyteller or a comics icon--but he's very skilled, he has an incredible knack for dialog, and he writes stories that, no matter how ridiculous, seem real .  In a medium where characters frequently violate the rules of physics, that's not alway...

INDIE COMICS: Huffin’ & puffin’ B.B. Wolf’s got the blues

BB WOLF AND THE THREE LPs  (Top Shelf, May 2010 hardcover, black & white, 86 pages,   $12.95)  As told by JD Arnold with illustrations by Richard Koslowski What got my attention immediately was the pairing up of a classic fairy tale with musical motifs.  That’s a combination that pushes two of my “hot buttons” - -  so I made it a must-read.  I was not disappointed.  This is a very entertaining and cleverly designed work that rivals Bill Willingham’s  creativity on the long-running FABLES series from Vertigo. As if taking the classic tale of the Big Bad Wolf and the Three Little Pigs and turning it upside down wasn’t enough to interest, BB WOLF AND THE THREE LPS  serves as an allegory for the oppression of  the black population in the deep South (Mississippi) in the 1920’s.  While they may be free (wolves),  the governing bodies (pigs) have the power to deny them their land, homes and possessions and even own the...

What else did I finish reading last month?  Here’s a cross-section of various titles . . . . . . . . . WITCHBLADE #126 “War Of The Witchblade Part 2” by Ron Marz and Stejepan Sejic  (Top Cow/Image) Preface:  Now here’s an interesting concept! = In order to attract new readers to its’ titles Top Cow is giving out free books each month as part of it’s Let Us Win You Over project.  ( www.topcow.com/freecomics )  Every month it’s a different title. And they work through different comics shops each month as well.  In April the title was Witchblade #126 and one of the participating dealers was Captain Blue Hen Comics in Newark, DE (my preferred supplier) so voila! - - - I find a copy in my hands. Since the last time I explored the Witchblade series the mythology has expanded to a battle between the forces of light and dark with each side choosing its agents on Earth, hence the Darkness vs. the Witchblade.  I’m still not overly interested in this typ...
