Hopefully it will be as creative and daring as Dark Horse.
I'm really disappointed in the lack of an Uncle Scrooge title from Marvel. I was really getting into the title and then boom lost the license and it ended.

Which is exactly why I'm concerned about Marvel. I think Dark Horse had a LOT of leeway or license with that property and I doubt Marvel is going to handle it as well. They have a LOT of great talent at Marvel who could handle this property, but that "old west" mentality that has allowed Dark Horse to be REALLY creative sometimes is likely to be gone forever. Marvel won't be making anymore outlandish creative decisions like they did the first go around (i.e. "Jaxxon") - not that I want them too go that route either :shock:

I expect them to go quite the opposite route and be VERY tied to continuity and Disney's bureaucracy whenever they finally get around to publishing anything SW related. I expect it will all begin with some reprints and then the movie adaptation.
