Darkwing Duck

Darkwing Duck #1

With a new creative team, Darkwing Duck gets a new start at Dynamite Entertainment. Darkwing Duck #1 puts Gosalyn a little more front-and-center than some of the DW comics, with some good-intentioned help that doesn’t go exactly as planned, and returns one of the show’s classic villains when Megavolt takes control of St. Canard through through people’s cellphones (because… electricity?). Okay, so his plan doesn’t quite make sense, but there’s still plenty of fun to be had.

Darkwing Duck - Dirty Money

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to crime-ridden streets of St. Canard and a hero who flaps in the night. After a robbery at a bank leaving all the cash without ink and the kidnapping of SHUSH Director J. Gander Hooter (Danny Mann) by Ammonia Pine (Mitzi McCall), Darkwing Duck (Jim Cummings) is forced to work under Vladimir Gryzlikoff (Ron Feinberg). In an episode notable for a giant vacuum cleaner and mop-wringing death trap, much of the story centers on Darkwing attempting to prove himself worthy to Gryzlikoff who puts our hero through a series of tests. Despite never earning Gryzlikoff’s respect, Darkwing and Launchpad (Terence McGovern) manage to save the SMUSH executives before they are, er, smushed, and save the day once more.

DuckTales - Let's Get Dangerous! television review

With more than a few nods and winks to the original Darkwing Duck cartoon, the rebooted DuckTales brings back Drake Mallard (Chris Diamantopoulos) as Scrooge (David Tennant) and his nephews travel to St. Canard to check out the invention of Taurus Bulba (James Monroe Iglehart). As in “Darkly Dawns the Duck,” Bulba wants to use the invention (this version pulls in matter from alternate dimensions) for his own fiendish plans. Standing in his way is the granddauther of Bulba’s missing partner, Gosalyn Waddlemeyer (Stephanie Beatriz).
