I read another comic published this decade!
It was....okay.
I was not familiar with any of the creative team prior to buying this comic. The writer, Brandon Montclare, has some Marvel credits under his belt, while the artist has worked on the Geronimo Stilton comics.
The art is appealing and easy to look at. The character designs kind of split the difference between Duck Tales 1987 and 2017 (for instance the nephews have big heads and giant eyes), but the setting is definitely Duckburg Classic.
The story is just meh, I assume it is intended to serve as an introduction to the concept for little kids. The best thing about it is that Scrooge tells the kids stories of past adventures, in the form of two-page gag strips.
It's a cute gimmick, like the fake movie trailers in Grindhouse.
If you have little kids at home who are interested in comics, or if you are looking for something nostalgic that you don't need to think about, this is a perfectly acceptable comic book. It's not the worst Duck Tales comic, that's for sure.
