Oh boy.

To be honest, while I love talking about the Mickey comics I feel like I have a hard time sharing recommendations about them. But I'll do my best.

I think the most important thing to know when getting Mickey Mouse comics is that while there isn't really a set canon to them, most of them branch off of the stories made by Floyd Gottfredson. He's sort of the Carl Barks of the Mickey comics. So if you wanna get a good understanding of the core of comics Mickey Mouse and read some pretty solid adventure comics, I would check out his stuff. Though keep in mind that some of these comics haven't aged well. Another good person to check out is Romano Scarpa as I also feel like he does a good job following up with what Gottfredson lays down.

However, beyond that there are just so many stories all with different tones, lore, humor, and characters that it can be hard to know what to recommend. There are the X-Mickey comics that have a bit of an edge to them, but also Topolino has been releasing a lot of great comics recently (in Italian) that can range from gag comics to multipart epics. I think the best way to learn more is to just take a plunge and try out a comic if it seems interesting or ask around and see what other people are recommending or talking about. For example here's a thread from @cosmosrebellion who asked a similar question:

And if you want a catalogue of all the comics documented along with ratings and information on each one check out inducks:

As for my current favorites, I am so far a big fan of Marco Nucci and Casty's comics. I really like their Phantom Blot Trilogy and I think both of them do a good job adding a bit of depth and seriousness without removing the fun. @applestabs has fantastic scanlations of the Phantom Blot Trilogy which I definitely recommend for anyone getting into the comics who likes seeing Mickey put in more difficult situations than usual. I am also starting to become a fan of Stefano Turconi's work.

I also would check out the original "Mickey Mouse Outwits the Phantom Blot" story as it holds up extremely well and is a good introduction to the Phantom Blot who becomes very pivotal to many Mickey comics and is a fan favorite. Also check out other stories from Nucci and Casty.

If you want to know how to read the comics, I use a mix of Amazon (though you can also find them in other stores online), scanlations here on Tumblr (or similar sites), or even people will just share comics with me. There's also other read comics free online sites you can use.

One thing I would personally love though is a Detective Mickey show. I've been reading through the comics and I think making Mickey a detective is one of the best utilization of his character since it uses a lot of traits he has such as being smart, problem solving, willingness to help others, and a strong sense of justice and they can easily add on other traits such as his keen sense for detail and observation that he has more in the comics. It is a great way to make him more interesting and expand on his character.

I can even see Mickey going through challenges such as feeling like he has to solve every crime and has such high expectations of himself. The series would be him learning the value of taking care of himself and be aware that he won't be able to fix everything.

Though tbh a big thing I would want is for the Phantom Blot to be a main villain of the series. He gets so underutilized especially in any of the animated media and I would love for him to have a bigger role and for more people to know about him. Heck he could also be kind of a second protagonist and get his own arc about what is he willing to sacrifice to continue his life of crime. They could also introduce other comic only villains too, giving them more attention like how Ducktales did for the Carl Barks/Don Rosa characters.

I actually already have an idea for a pilot that is based off of the first comic with Phantom Blot and maybe I'll share it, if enough people are interested.

Edit: I actually started to work on the idea. Check it out here
