When Earth needs saving, who better to save it than Uncle Scrooge! Coming off Marvel Comics one-shot, Uncle $crooge and the Infinity Dime #1, prolific writer Jason Aaron is back with an all-new adventure for Marvel and Disney fans this August. With art by Giuseppe Camuncoli, Mahmud Asrar, Ciro Cangialosi & more, the story finds us in a planet that:
“...has been conquered by alien invaders, the Connoisseurs, nefarious hoarders of the rarest antiquities from throughout the cosmos. As they tear the Earth apart, pillaging its fabled treasures, only the world’s greatest adventurer can possibly stop them. But Scrooge McDuck is facing a battle unlike any he’s ever fought, trapped inside his own mind, fighting to preserve his most precious memories. From writer Jason Aaron (Uncle Scrooge and the Infinity Dime, plus some other things) and an extravagance of all-star artists comes the most epic adventure in Duck history.”
Jason Aaron on Uncle Scrooge: Earth’s Mightiest Duck #1 (of 4):
“Scrooge McDuck is one of the greatest heroes in the history of comics, bar none. It was a thrill to get to write him in the pages of Uncle Scrooge and the Infinity Dime, as we took him on a journey across the multiverse. With this new series, I knew we'd have to go bigger, not just by incorporating more Marvel artists into the mix, but by sending Scrooge on the most epic story of his career, as he fights to save the one thing more precious to him than gold or any exotic treasure: his own memories of a life of adventure.”
Be sure to stop by your local comic book shop this August!
