^ Need to see it, but the trailers seemed to show Strange as basically a mystical version of Tony Stark personality-wise and that kinda put me off.
Anyway, someone dropped their Disney comics collection at my local comics collection and they've all gone into the $1 comic boxes. All late '80s/early '90s stuff, I bought a bunch and now I'm looking over it and I realize I now have an almost complete collection of Uncle Scrooge and Uncle Scrooge Adventures issues from when they were published by the first incarnation of Gladstone Publishing. This is cool, because it is probably my favorite era of Scrooge comics, as it was when the hardcore fans took over the license years after all these comics vanishing from public consciousness. They reprinted tons of the original Carl Barks stories (often with commentary and supplemental info), starting bringing over the European stories for the first time (most Americans had no idea these comics were popular in foreign countries where new material was still being published), and published the very first duck comics from the new master: Don Rosa! The first Rosa issue ('The Son of the Sun', issue #219) is actually one of four issues I'm still missing, but funnily enough they even seemed to realize what a momentous occasion it was back then, as #218 ends promising something really special in the following issue.
Ever have that moment when you realize you almost have a complete set of something and you didn't even realize?
