Disney Weirdness Review: Darkwing Duck #1

SPOILERS BELOW:

It was pretty freakin good.

I was a little too old to be a hardcore Darkwing Duck fan back when the show was new, but I enjoyed it whenever I caught an episode. This comic gets the tone of the cartoon just right, but with a slightly more "grownup" feel. When the story opens, Drake Mallard is working for a soulless megacorporation in a St. Canard that no longer has a need for superheroes (or supervillains). I am always a sucker for a "getting the band back together" story, and that's exactly what we've got here. Highlights of the issue include the daydream sequences, as Drake sits in his cubicle and fantasizes increasingly more outlandish superheroics, and Drake's interactions with his cubicle-mate, a former supervillain who used to tangle with Darkwing back in the day.

Generally speaking I like what Boom! has been doing with the Disney license. Wizards of Mickey, Ultraheroes, and Double Duck are all fine examples of quality kids' comics. As a thirty-something comic book fan I can appreciate the effort even as I recognize that the books aren't really geared towards readers like me. Darkwing Duck #1, on the other hand, is a truly All-Ages comic (like Boom's The Muppet Show, or the classic Barks Duck stories), a kid-friendly book that more mature (ha!) fans can appreciate on its own merits. Good stuff, well worth a look.

Two nights ago, Craig Ferguson put on a big white Mickey Mouse hand and started musing about how “if everyone wore a Mickey Mouse hand for one night” maybe it could “end the late night war madness.”

Art Appreciation

Sometimes with greats like Charles Schulz, Jack Kirby, or Carl Barks, you start to take them for granted and forget just how good they really were. Recently I reread the 1950 story "Big Top Bedlam" and was reminded just how awesome the Good Duck Artist really was.


These panels look like they could be stills from an animated cartoon. This segment would look just as fresh in any modern comic book, and that's just one of many awesome bits to this story. Check this out:

NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL COMICS!

If you've never read this story then quit reading this blog and click the link. Its weirdness quotient is through the roof, but more importantly it's a great piece of work from a master cartoonist at the top of his game.
