Darkwing Duck #2

/ / Comics

The second issue of the new Darkwing Duck series, set early-ish in the crime-fighter’s career, gives us Bushroot who takes the place of the substitute teacher at Gosalyn‘s school just as she tries out (and fails to land) the starring role in the school play. Promising to help her get a larger role if she helps him out in his garden, Gosalyn unwittingly helps the criminal create bushy henchmen in the look of her classmates and also St. Canard’s most famous hero.

Nights #14

/ / Comics

Continuing the focus on Gray‘s past, Nights #14 offers us a flashback to Gray meeting the lizard-swaying magic user Erik and the fallout of the pair stealing the Magic 8-Ball which leads Chimera to their door. Gray puts up a fight, but eventually surrenders to save Erik (leading to them being caged and targeted for death by Chimera). The classic toy, however, may have other ideas.

Uncanny X-Men #12

/ / Comics

While the first few pages do play into recent events including the training of the young Outliers and and Rogue‘s concern about maybe being too hard on Jitter, Uncanny X-Men #12 is really a standalone issue that takes advantage of this group of X-Men setting up shop in Cajun country to offer a one-off story with ties to Gambit‘s past when a note appears for the X-Man.
