Comics Review: ‘Comic Zone: Third Quarter Edition’

Spoilers Below

Mickey Mouse

‘Croissant de Triomphe’

Minnie Mouse is all out of croissants whilst working at her cafe and customers are wanting them yesterday. Mickey decides to help out by getting on his scooter and racing to the top of a cathedral. Once there Mickey leaps off the roof and lands on a goat leaving his trusty scooter behind. He races back into the barn whence the goats came from and manages to find all of the croissants. Unfortunately, Mickey knocks them all over the area and has to scoop them up JUST when the customers are almost going to blow a casket.

‘No Service’

Mickey and Donald just strollin’ the boardwalk but weirdly enough when the guys try to grab some food, the manager declines citing that neither is following the rules in terms of proper attire. As a result, the guys decide to swap attire so that one can get food whilst one wait. Unfortunately, Mickey grabs the proverbial short straw and has to wait around but with the girls on the way he has to get dressed fast! Thankfully, Donald gets thrown out of the establishment while completing an order due to having a fake ID. Doing that gives Mickey back his clothes and a rather nice picnic for him and the girls!

‘Yodelburg’

Minnie is yodeling and Mickey, of course, wants to check it out and join in. Buuuuut then he gets word of a potential avalanche so the mice can’t yodel right this second. Also, the rest of this quaint town is beaming with various noises causing the snow on the mountains to become unstable. Eventually, he comes across a Yeti that chases poor Mickey up and down the snow slopes. Thankfully, Mickey gets away and the snow falls leaving Mickey and Minnie to stand atop the mountains singling like crazy!

Stayin Cool

It’s a really hot day, and Mickey, Donald, and Goofy run around town looking to stay cool. From freezers to pools to hydrants and ice cream trucks, these guys are lookin’. But, anyone who has seen The Dark Knight Rises knows that even if its Summer in August whilst filming in Pittsburgh, you can make it snow!

Phineas and Ferb

Watching the Future

The boys are watching a TV from the 1960s that only works with an antenna. So, they get smacked with a surprise when the TV goes out due to loss of signal. Phineas and Ferb jump in to fix the TV, and end up turning it into a TV that can predict the future…much to the chagrin of Buford.

Flat Ferb

The kids build a machine to turn everyone flat. Unfortunately for Buford, the effects are temporary.

Isabella’s Tree House

The guys build a treehouse for Isabella because she’s always wanted one. Just don’t have Bryan Singer direct THIS operation!

Multiple Choice

The guys make giant balloons.

Dawn of the Flying Car

The boys are out flying cars while Perry busts up Doof’s latest machine that turns everything into rubber even arming Doof with a rubber suit. Let’s put it this way, he’s no Rubber Man!

Fish Hooks

The Glowfish Tank

Oscar and Milo get new neighbors which at first is cool because they bring snacks, but glow fish glow ALL THE TIME! Even when OTHER fish are trying to go to sleep!

Our Take

TEN DOLLARS is a sizable price tag for a bunch of comics most of which includes printed editions of Mickey Mouse Shorts that you can watch in full motion over on Disney Channel’s web site for free. Then if you really wanted a bunch of Phineas and Ferb comics you can do so for $5 and just read the Fish Hooks comic whilst checking out the issue on the newsstand.
