As 2016 ends to make way for 2017, we are fastly approaching the DuckTales reboot.

Now the last time a network tried to reboot some of its older properties, it didn’t turn out so well *cough* PPG *cough*, but Disney is taking steps to make sure this reboot caters to both old fans of the series, but also new fans and even fans of the original comic. Earlier this year they revealed an image of the reboot featuring Donald and the original shows cast in a more stylized comic like animation (being used for the header above). Disney has now released another teaser in the same style showing off the same characters, but with one new addition. That’s right! Everyone’s favorite bumbling aviator Launchpad McQuack.ducktales-2017-launchpad

Not only that, but other returning characters include Gyro Gearloose, Duckworth, and Magica De Spell (hopefully still being voiced by the amazing June Foray). Since summer 2017 is still a ways away, Disney is still slowly rolling out info on the series, but they did leave us with a catchy little teaser. Check it out below! Are you excited about this reboot? Which characters are you hoping come back? Tell us in the comments below!

The four premiere issues will have 48 pages at a price point of $3.99, with each subsequent issue having 40 pages. Each issue will feature two regular covers and one unique cover that will have the characters in different environments featuring theme park attractions.

I’ve never read any classic Disney comics myself but if they are anything like the cartoons I watched over lunch as a kid I’m sure I’ll love them! I’ll be sure to check these out this spring.

Are you a long time fan of Disney comics? Does this news have you excited? Let us know in the comments below.

In the weeks leading to the September 23rd release date of Disney Infinity 2.0, the steady stream of trailers have been debuting a growing roster of characters that fall outside of the Marvel umbrella. Now, one of the classic Disney staples is finally on his way, with Donald Duck’s inclusing into the Infinity family.

Complete with a bag of random items to throw at enemies, Donald joins Mickey Mouse as one of two characters that belong to the core group from the house of mouse. In addition, a variety of vehicles, enemies and costumes could be spotted throughout the trailer, including Donald’s Three Musketeers costume, Aladdin’s Prince Ali garb, and a float from Disneyland’s famous Main Street Electrical Parade. Vehicles like this and the Darkwing Duck car are just some of the fan service included for Disney fans both new and old, which seems to be on its way to pleasing both the Marvel and Disney fan in all of us.

Yet, with each trailer, it’s becoming obvious that we won’t likely get a new non-Marvel themed Play Set, the campaign modes that are seperate from the create your own levels of the Toy Box. While it’s expected, it’s disappointing nonetheless. Still, it’s about time that Donald joins the cast, especially because it’s only a matter of time before Goofy follows suit.

Will you swing by your favorite toy store to pick up your very own pantsless, cursing, sailor duck?
