    50 Jahre Onkel Dagobert

    50 Jahre Onkel Dagobert by Walt Disney Company My rating: 2 of 5 stars This is another volume I found among my mother’s old collection and decided to take home with me. Considering its shiny gold cover and the title stating a celebration of 50 years of Uncle Scrooge comics, I should have remember reading this one a lot when I was younger, but I didn’t. There weren’t many stories in this one, only 7 all together. Two of those were Mickey Mouse stories, but luckily, one of them was only a few pages long. For volume #233 of this series, I said that most of the comics lacked depth.…

    Zeit ist Geld (Lustiges Taschenbuch, #233)

    Zeit ist Geld by Walt Disney Company My rating: 3 of 5 stars I went through my mom’s old comics during my latest visit to her and decided to take some of the volumes back home with me. Among them was this one, which I had overlooked during previous perusals through her comic collection. I remember reading it on many occasions when I was little. It is a fast read and I noticed something peculiar about the way these stories were constructed. The individual stories seemed short. They were of regular page length, but the amount of plot detail and world building were kept to a minimum. There wasn’t much…

    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.

    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.…
