    Lustiges Taschenbuch Halloween 04: Sonderband

    Lustiges Taschenbuch Halloween 04: Sonderband by Walt Disney My rating: 5 of 5 stars I love Halloween and I couldn’t wait to read the newest collection of Halloween stories from Duckburg.They were spooky and cozy and funny and over way too quickly. I wish there had been more, but I’m looking forward to the next collection.

    Lustiges Taschenbuch Spezial Band 61: Eisiges Entenhausen

    Lustiges Taschenbuch Spezial Band 61: Eisiges Entenhausen by Walt Disney Company My rating: 5 of 5 stars A great collection of stories centred around cold temperatures. It was the perfect escape read during an unusually hot start of the fall season.I remember reading “Die fliegenden Eisberge” countless times when I was younger, which brought back all kinds of childhood memories.

    Ultimate Phantomias 08

    Lustiges Taschenbuch Ultimate Phantomias 08: Die Chronik eines Superhelden by Walt Disney Company My rating: 4 of 5 stars Better than Ultimate Phantomias #7, but I’m still waiting for those adventurous and daring stories that I have read before in the later collections of this series.

    Ultimate Phantomias 07

    Lustiges Taschenbuch Ultimate Phantomias 07: Die Chronik eines Superhelden by Walt Disney Company My rating: 3 of 5 stars I finally found a way to purchase and read the digital editions of this comic series. After months of waiting and hoping I could get my hands on this installment, I felt a little disappointed by it. It was still good, but it didn’t contain many Phantomias stories that were either fun or adventurous, they all seemed to fall slightly flat.

    Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck: The Richest Duck in the World

    Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck: The Richest Duck in the World by Don Rosa My rating: 5 of 5 stars A great conclusion to the narration of Uncle Scrooge’s life story. It was funny. It was sad. It contained adventure and intrigue. I appreciated and marvelled over the art work especially in this volume, which focused even more in the fine details in the background that gave a little extra dose of humour.

    Ultimate Phantomias 22

    Lustiges Taschenbuch Ultimate Phantomias 22: Die Chronik eines Superhelden by Walt Disney My rating: 5 of 5 stars I have probably already mentioned this before, but growing up reading Donald Duck comics I wasn’t a fan of the Phantomias stories. Now I almost prefer them to regular Donald Duck stories. I was lucky enough for my grandmother, who still lives in Germany, to offer me to send the newest edition of the Ultimate Phantomias and I read it in one sitting, enjoying every story. One story, Zwist im Urlaubsparadies, I remember reading in a different comic book, I think the theme was summer vacation, but other than that they were…

    Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck: Return to Plain Awful

    Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck: Return to Plain Awful by Don Rosa My rating: 4 of 5 stars A hilarious collection of Uncle Scrooge comics, featuring Donald Duck and the gang. I really enjoyed all of them except for one: “His Majesty, McDuck”. I have no idea why, but this one left a bitter taste in my mouth and I wasn’t really too invested while reading the rest of it.Other than that, it was great entertainment.

    Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck: The Last of the Clan McDuck

    Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck: The Last of the Clan McDuck by Don Rosa My rating: 5 of 5 stars A rather long story and uncomfortable experience is connected with this collection of Uncle Scrooge comics that spans a total of 25 years and comes to an end at a comic bookstore with a side of sexism.I first read this story as a child in German and I was so impressed by the story that I wanted to keep the weekly editions of my comic books that contained this part of Uncle Scrooges story. Unfortunately, over-enthusiastic grand/parents that like to clean up their grand/child’s room (to be fair, I used…

    Donald Duck Vol. 7: Kingdom Under The Sea

    Donald Duck Vol. 7: Kingdom Under The Sea by Rodolfo Cimino My rating: 5 of 5 stars Since Amazon.de took my money, deleted half my order and won’t send me the other half, I decided to take a look to see if Amazon.ca offered Donald Duck comics. I was extremely excited when I happened upon this volume, bought it immediately for my Kindle and read it on the spot. It worked well on my Kindle, but it only supported artwork in black and white. On my Kindle app for my Android it worked perfectly in colour. I enjoyed the stories and appreciated reading stories I haven’t read before in English.…
