Throwback Thursday takes us to the most expensive comedy ever made at the time it was released and featured what has come to be known as the greatest pie fight ever captured on-screen. With 1965’s The Great Race director Blake Edwards (known for his over-the-top comedies) delivers his love letter to silent films in a battle of good and evil across the globe.

Darkwing Duck #1

/ / Comics

A new Darkwing Duck comic kicks off here with part one of a twelve-part storyline involving Darkwing Duck, shortly after his adoption of Gosalyn, searching for an arch-nemesis… and also fighting crime. In Darkwing Duck #1 we get Darkwing taking on Megavolt who has stolen a super-battery and heads to the carnival to charge it leading to a run-in with Launchpad and Gosalyn (who should be in bed). Despite the “Year One” moniker, the comic is taking place after Darkwing, Launchpad, and Gosalyn are brought together and after he’s had multiple run-ins with super-villains (even if he still has to remind them of his name). Still, it’s a fun early adventure for the character.

While playing on recent events, the majority of “Dominique” focuses on an extended flashback which introduces the impressive Sergeant First Class Dominique Kohl (Mariah Robinson) who worked under Reacher before his Special Investigators phase. The pair’s first case involved a soldier (Johnathan Sousa) leaking military secrets under threat from a military intelligence officer targeting his family. That officer’s name was Xavier Quinn (Brian Tee).
