Mickey Mouse #286

From Scoop:

Mickey Mouse #286 starts the party with “Coming Up Short,” a feature-length epic by Stefan Petrucha (The X-Files) and Paco Rodriguez. Mickey and Eega Beeva time travel to the island of Torgania in the year 2225, where they’ve heard that futuristic jousters participate in a thrilling tournament, riding atop giant dogs and cats. But wouldn’t you know it? Torgania in 2225 is ruled by despotic king Torga, whose animals are really normal size. The jousters have been shrunken to rat-size with a ray… and Mickey soon meets the same fate! To win back his size and freedom and return to 2006, our highly embarrassed Mouse must become a master jouster, a position he’s in no way physically suited for. Uh-oh!

You know how they say, “don’t judge a book by it’s cover”? Well, that’s doubly-true for Mickey Mouse & Friends. I’ll bet few could have guessed that lurking behind an innocent-looking “Mickey trips while cat chases Pluto” cover lies a thrilling, edge-of-your-seat adventure featuring both time traveling and gladiatorial battles!
