Donald Duck’s Halloween Scream! 2017

25-pack for Donald Duck’s Halloween Scream!

I know I’m a bit late with this post, but we got a new issue of Donald Duck’s Halloween Scream! for Halloween this year. This is the second issue, and it actually says so on the inside too.
 

The 2017 issue is numered #2 on the inside

We didn’t get any last year, but we got one for Halloween ComicFest in 2015. This year’s issue got a Halloween ComicFest logo too, but it’s not intended for free giveaway in comic shops like the last one (although some shops might do it anyways). Instead this year’s issue is sold in packs of 25 comics for $4.99 and intended for people to buy and give out for free themselves. So instead of giving away candy when someone is trick-or-treating at your door, you could get one of these packs and give away a comic book instead. Just like last year’s preview comic for Mickey’s Inferno that was sold in a similar pack (check my blogpost last year about this one)

As this year’s Donald Duck’s Halloween Scream! is sold in packs of mini-comics, the format is a lot smaller than the first issue.
 

Donald Duck’s Halloween Scream! 2015 (#1) and 2017 (#2)

But like the 2015 comic the new one also have a reprint (i.e. not new to the USA) story by William Van Horn.
 

"Kid Stuff" by William Van Horn

Kid Stuff is not really about Halloween, it’s just about Donald painting a house that might be haunted – so I guess it kind of fits the Halloween theme.

We didn’t get any Giant Halloween Hex from IDW this year, so I’m glad Donald Duck’s Halloween Scream! is back instead. But I hope we’ll get a new issue of Giant Halloween Hex next year!
