Mickey Mouse has taken a trip in a time machine built by
Doc Static. Upon returning, he discovers that the timeline has changed and
Christmas is no longer celebrated. With the assistance of Donald Duck, his
nephews, Scrooge McDuck, and Gyro Gearloose, Mickey must go back to 1956 and
discover what happened and fix the timeline. Will our heroes be successful? Who
is responsible for this nightmare and for what reason? The issue also includes
backup tales starring The Big Bad Wolf, Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck.
This was a great little adventure to read and can be
enjoyed by kids of all ages. These stories are appearing in the U.S. for the
first time (originally published in Holland, Sweden, and Italy). The
translations were well done; everything was understandable (not an easy thing
to do sometimes). Very colorful art and fun stories that helps one get into the
spirit of the season. Check it out.
MICKEY AND DONALD CHRISTMAS PARADE #2 is in stores now or
available at www.idwpublishing.com.
