Publisher: Marvel Comics

The planet 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 & THE INFINITY DIME, plus some other things) and an extravagance of all-star artists comes the most epic adventure in Duck history.
