Here’s an excerpt from the Valiant Entertainment solicitation announcement:

Over the last 3 years or so, I’ve become painfully aware of the fact that there just isn’t a lot of discussion about Disney comics here in the U.S. and while I have no illusions that a blog devoted to doing just that is going to change things all that much, I did want to [...]
