Fun fact: Darkwing's " I am the ..." speeches weren't written in the script for the show. Instead there was a small note saying: "It doesn't matter what I write here, Jim's going to make something funnier up."

The comic from 2010 is The Duck Knight Returns. The in the second season of the the 2017 Ducktales series there’s an episode called the Duck Knight Returns. In it Jim Cummings plays a parody character of himself obsessed with his role as Darkwing Duck as it got passed to a new Drake Mallard

[@srstriker6420]

This is an underrated show.

[@brendaneichler5244]

Fun fact: Donald Duck *also* has a superhero career in comics as Paperinik/The Duck Avenger. In fact, there's conjecture that the reason that Darkwing was created was that Tony Anselmo was just starting his run as Donald they were trying to ease him into the role (which is why Donald was rarely on in the 87 Ducktales)

[@clarktooncrossing3975]

[@kirara2516]

As a fan who grew up with this series and as someone who followed closely to the new comic series when it came out along with being part of a forum who actually got a few clarifications by someone who worked hard to revive this series in comic form, Aaron Sparrow (to be precise) He was removed from the credits of the opening 4 part story arc. Ian Brill cannot write for Darkwing Duck and misses the point of what made the show great. While he wanted to send epic mega adventure one after the other, he ignored one of the biggest things that made Darkwing Unique: _"Super powers do not a hero make" - Darkwing Duck._ He threw Darkwing up against things like Cthulhu, multiple dimensions where several different Darkwings wreaked havoc, (actually that would have been good, but then on part 4 they went too damn far by throwing in Paddy Whack and had him say to Negaduck "There is much fear in you." - which is bull, because Negaduck doesn't fear that clown, nor anything Darkwing has thrown at him. We NEVER see Negaduck grovel. If someone says, "Look! it's a Fuzzy Wuzzy bunny!" He would pull out a shotgun and start firing blindly to kill it. (That is NOT an exaggeration see episode "Just Us Justice Ducks" part 1) Brill would try to cram so much into something that should be fun and simple. Bulba coming back was awesome, but that's about it. The Ducktales cross over was a mess too. Even at the end. Negaduck merges with EVERY VILLAIN! and then what does defeat him? Not an epic battle. Darkwing just tells him. "You don't let yourself have any friends!" WTF was that?! Negaduck doesn't care about that. He doesn't need it. He rules with brute force, cunning schemes and fear. Also the comic relied too much on magic. Having Morgana in it was great, but it was always magic that would solve the problems, not Darkwing's insane dumb luck or clever wit. It was a mess. The only thing good about it aside from the first arc was seeing the brief return of Darkwarrior Duck, (which was awesome and needed to be longer imo) and the introduction of Quiverwing Duck, who was like Darkwarrior, but went down a more sane, reasonable route, and he reminded me of Hawkeye a bit. The other thing that was great about the comic was the art. James Silvani is an amazing artist and captures them all perfectly. Sabrine also did great work in the special edition which featured Quackerjack and a Time traveling turtle. James' easter eggs were always fun to point out, and it made up for some of the crappy writing. BOOM! Studios could not handle the Darkwing Duck comic properly. And the episode "Comic Book Capers" is a great comparison to what happened with this comic series as a whole. Long comment, I know, but It gives a decent insight into what happened, where it missed, where is worked and that we deserved better, which a reboot series did happen, and it was a lot better. Aaron Sparrow and James Silvani work together brilliantly. THEY can handle a proper DWD reboot.

Disney was a big part of MY childhood. The original Cinderella was the very first Disney movie I remember watching, The Little Mermaid was the first movie I remember seeing in theaters at the time, The original Lion King was the first movie I've seen more than once in theaters, and I had the chance to go to Disney World with the rest of the high school marching band during my freshman year (it is a 4 year tradition). *Tobe Fair* , I didn't really stick that well with the Disney Afternoon, except for DuckTales, Goof Troop, Gargoyles, Timon & Pumbaa, and of course Darkwing Duck; and that's mostly because Fox Kids and Kids WB had shows that appealed more to me. 6:57- And somewhere in the city, Chandler Quack is trapped in an ATM vestibule with Jill Goodacre. 10:19- In other words, Quackwerks is like Trump's vision of the Trump Organization of the future. ...We are so screwed. 14:16- Or, speaking of Star Trek, since Darkwing Duck is looking for "The Founder," the creator could also be the Dominion. The scene in the robot factory reminds me of a certain similar scene in Attack of the Clones. 24:54- YOU MONSTER! 27:46- Or the elevator got broke thanks to Sheldon and Leonard from The Big Bang Theory.

Darkwing Duck and the whole Disney Afternoon were way before my time. I was born in ‘97, so I grew up in the 2000s. I caught reruns of some shows on Jetix (before it was rebranded Disney XD), but Darkwing Duck just wasn’t one of them. Even so, this storyline was incredibly enjoyable to learn about through your review, Lewis, and while I can’t say I’ll go out looking for these issues or start watching the original cartoon anytime soon, my interest is definitely peaked and I’m sure I’ll be looking more into this franchise on my own in the future.

[@chromebison5900]

*Kid's WB*: Mostly watched their DCAU stuff (Batman TAS season 4, Superman TAS, Batman Beyond and a little bit of Static Shock), MIB the series, Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! (and Whatever toonami drippings aired). *Fox Kids*: mostly watched Early Batman TAS, Digimon, X-MEN TAS, a little bit of Spiderman TAS a little bit of Power Rangers (Mostly Time Force), Big Guy and Rusty. (I'm surprised Escaflowne was on FOX kids, never caught it there though.) *Disney Afternoon/One Saturday Morning*: mostly watched Rescue Rangers (Surprised they never did a crossover with the Rescuers), Tale Spin, Ducktales, Darkwing Duck, Goof Troop, Gargoyles, Recess, Pepper Ann.

My childhood was kind of half-Disney, half WB -- I loved a bunch of the classic Disney Renaissance movies, but the cartoon I most remember watching was Animaniacs. I was also a fan of Darkwing, though! I remember Liquidator's intro episode the best. And this was a good little adventure -- very much in keeping with the spirit of the show, and with an interesting storyline that actually gives the characters some depth and shows WHY Darkwing might actually hang up the suit. And Gosalyn getting to kick butt in the Gizmoduck gear is pretty awesome. :) Hooray for good comics!

28:07 It's my headcanon that those subways are defended by the PR equivalent of ToQGer... if it ever comes to fruition, of course.

Adding to the question of who was asking for a Darkwing Duck comic in 2010. Bear in mind. This was YEARS before the Ducktales reboot.

[@Shades14]

Eat it BoJack! Darkwing Duck beat you to the punch with the evil monopoly corporation talk!

[@HypeVoiceActing]

Nice to see you tackle this book, Lewis. I think its be cool if you looked at more Disney stuff, like the Don Rosa Scrooge comics

[@dennisbirtcher4522]

I find myself in a similar boat. While the Fox Kids lineup was amazing, I had no problem with the Disney shows either. What I did miss out on as a child is the vast majority of the Disney movies, and many remain unseen by me. As a fan of the shows, this comic triggered every nostalgic neuron in my brain, and I absolutely plan on looking up the series. Well chosen, mystery patron!

Don rosa mentioned on this show, finally! Now I really want Linkara to review life and times of scrooge mcduck.. :D

[@furioussherman7265]

This was epic. Now I actually want to see you do a review of the issues where Nega Duck and Magica DeSpell team up.

Am I the only one who remembers the Flamingos from "Fantasia 2000?"

[@Nytemare2all]

Nope. Who could forget a flamingo with a yo-yo set to Carnival of the Animals?
