Boom not Soliciting Classic Disney Titles

For librarians ordering classic Disney comics from Boom Studios they will need to look elsewhere now.  ICv2’s site is reporting that Boom has no solicitations for July for any of the classic Disney characters.  However, librarians don’t groan to much.  I believe that Marvel will be picking these titles up, since Disney owns Marvel to keep the publishing in-house.  Boom still has the Rescue Rangers, Ducktales and Darkwing Duck titles, but I wouldn’t be surprised that when the license agreements are up Disney will move them over to their Marvel publishing branch.

Tron Uprising

ICv2 is reporting that Disney’s XD channel will be airing Tron: Uprising in 2012.  This is an animated series that takes place between the the live action Tron and Tron: Legacy.  Librarians will want to let their animation fans know about this one.  Just by looking at the credits at the end of the trailer it has some big names voicing the characters and probably the most exciting one is at the very end of the trailer it says Bruce Boxleitner will be voicing Tron.

DVD Release of Interest

Here are two DVD’s that will be of interest to libraries this week that are comic/animation related.  The first is AMC’s Walking Dead Season 1, the adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s Image series Walking Dead.  This will definitely appeal to your zombie fans.  If your library happens to have the collected editions of the comic book series it would be a great tie-in promotional.  The other DVD is a little bit more kid friendly.  Disney is bring over Studio Ghibli’s adaptation of Ursula K. LeGuin’s Tales from Earthsea. Again this DVD can provide a tie-in promotional to LeGuin’s novels.
