Boom! Studios brings Darkwing Duck back!

News flash from the Emerald City Comic Con: Whack, Smack! “Darkwing Duck” is Back!I already love BOOM! Studios for their Muppet comics. As of now I lust after them. The cover art pleases me no end. The story beginning listed might give me pause in other circumstances, but I've learned that BOOM deserves my trust. This may ever wash the foul ( Read more... )

Oh yeah, I kinda forget that there's been other DW comics. All I have is Darkwing Duck #3 from Disney Comics (adapting "Darkly Dawns the Duck") and The Disney Afternoon #1, about which I don't remember anything, and a tpb (if you can call it that) called "Capes and Capers," collecting some Disney Adventures comics, which were good enough. Actually, they could probably stand to reprint more of those (I had little to do with Disney Adventures).

Let's put it this way: Marvel's priority was not Disney comics, it was Spider-Man. The editor didn't know jack about the property and didn't care; she just pushed through stuff that looked like it'd amuse the kiddies. Characterization was iffy at best, stories were often generic, and the artwork was execrable at times. I remember one DW story in which most images were obviously photocopied from the press package, and those that weren't were terribly drawn and faces covered up.

I actually called the editor and spoke with her about possibly submitting stories. She encouraged me to and told ne about their format and requirements. I sent in two. However, she told me she never got the time to evaluate them because of the Spider-Man thing; it was easier to just take scripts from writers they knew. *sigh* I tried!

Oh man, that's a shame. I would've been happy to see what you could've done! Well, I guess it really took 19 years before we could really get an approach that shows some actual integrity and respects the fans (did you notice that it's not even marketed as Boom! Kids?). I actually asked the guy if Boom! or Disney initiated the product (http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?t=312842) and he made it clear that they pitched it themselves, because they were fans. Pretty awesome.

I will tell my comic shop guys to order it for me. I hated the crap they published in the Disney Digest books...it was so lightweight that it did not even count, in my mind. We'll see if this is a little closer to the show.
