First, in September, GITCorp is releasing Star Trek: The Complete Comic Book Collection, a DVD containing PDF files of every single comic book in the Star Trek franchise released by Gold Key, Marvel, DC, Malibu, Wildstorm and others between 1967 and 2002. I plan to hold on to a few of my Star Trek comics — such as the beautiful hardcover edition of Debt of Honor — for as long as I can, but the thought of replacing the rest of ’em with this space-saving DVD is certainly tempting.

Second, in October, Warner is releasing Looney Tunes: Golden Collection Volume Six — which, sadly, will be the last of the “Golden Collection” DVD sets, according to Jerry Beck, who has posted a complete list of the new set’s bonus materials at Cartoon Brew. However, he promises that Warner will continue to release new editions of restored Looney Tunes cartoons on an “annual basis”, though apparently under some other name.
Finally, in November, Disney is releasing The Chronological Donald Volume Four: 1951 – 1961, which will virtually complete my collection of the cartoons, both long and short, that were produced by the Walt Disney studio during Uncle Walt’s lifetime. This set is part of the ‘Walt Disney Treasures‘ collection, which has been coming out on a basically annual basis since 2001 — and contrary to earlier reports, it does not seem that this year’s series will include a set devoted to Salvador Dali’s Destino (2003). Oh well, maybe next year. Hat tip to UltimateDisney.com.
