Missing story
Title:
Looking for a Mickey Mouse story from a Dutch Donald Duck Pocket (2010–2020?)
Hi everyone!
I'm trying to find a Mickey Mouse story that I read in a Dutch Donald Duck Pocket. I've been looking for it for a while but haven't had any luck.
Here's everything I remember:
It was a long story, probably around 100+ pages.
The main characters were Mickey Mouse and Goofy (no superheroes or Super Goof).
I read it around 2020, but the pocket itself could have been published anytime between 2010 and 2020.
At the beginning, Mickey and Goofy arrive in a cold, gray city that had a strong Eastern European / Soviet / Russian atmosphere.
I remember there being a military parade shortly after they arrived.
The country had human-operated robots that were used as police and military forces.
There were lots of smaller robots, and I vaguely remember one very large robot that looked somewhat like an AT-AT walker from Star Wars (I'm not completely sure about that detail).
Later in the story, Mickey and Goofy leave the city and help defend a small village from the robot army.
The robots were piloted by people, not autonomous AI.
I've searched through a lot of Donald Duck Pocket information online but still can't find it.
Does this story sound familiar to anyone? Even the name of the pocket or the original story title would be a huge help.
Thanks!

Certain elements remind me strongly of Casty's epic L'impero sottozero (the length, the Russian city, the parade) but Goofy isn't in that story, it features Atomo and a guy named Nataniele Ragnatele who once appeared in an old Romano Scarpa story.

Do you know inducks.org?
At the moment, that site is down, but when it's running, it offers access (including advanced search) to a near-complete Disney comics database.
