Quote from user: kimba_1962Quote from user: VesuviusWasn't Ducktales #6 supposed to be out the week after Darkwing #17? According to James Silvani's blog, he turned in the artwork many weeks ago.
I'm getting a little nervous here. With all of the hiccups from Kaboom, I wouldn't be surprised if they missed their publishing window and didn't print the end of the story. Then again, I'm a little nervous that they WILL finish the story. :D
ComicList lists both DT #6 and DW #18 as release date "TBD." Make of that what you will.
This from the Boom newsletter: And don't miss our special issues coming out this week. We have both a new beginning and the ending of a series. OPERATION: BROKEN WINGS, 1936 premieres this week with its action-packed, Nazi-filled #1 issue while DARKWING DUCK # 18 brings the fan-favorite series to an exciting close -- with a special guest appearance! We also have CLIVE BARKER'S HELLRAISER MASTERPIECES #1, featuring some of the best classic stories from the Hellraiser universe. A little for everyone this week!
Odd and kinda sad that they didn't mention DuckTales #6 at all. Maybe they just canceled it prematurely in the middle of the crossover, while Darkwing was selling well enough to finish.

That would suck if they cancelled Duck Tales in the middle of the crossover. They should at least wait until after the crossover series is over.

That newsletter text reads kind of amateurish. Oh well.
Ducktales is supposed to be part 3 of the crossover...I know Mr. Brill's third issues are usually just filler anyway, but I doubt they'd just cut out the third chapter and finish it off with Darkwing #18. Maybe both issues come out next week and they just forgot to mention Ducktales #6?

Always a grain of salt because the release list won't be finalized until Monday, November 7, but that's what the November 9 release list is showing at Diamond's web site. Ducktales #6 and Darkwing Duck #18 should both be out next week.

The November 9 release of Darkwing Duck #18 and DuckTales #6 is finally confirmed on kaboom!'s
own pages.
Also, Daan Jippes is listed as the writer of the new Wordgirl comic. Is that correct?

That would be awesome, but it seems more likely they just copied a template from one of the Disney books and forgot to change the name of the writer.
At least it doesn't say Miguel Pujols. :D

So in the continuing mystery of what the hell is going on with the end of the crossover, Boom has released a preview for Darkwing Duck #18, part 4 of the crossover.
The problem is, part 3, Ducktales #6, isn't out yet and there is no online preview for that issue. And the preview for Darkwing #18 seems to ruin some critical reveals.
SPOILER WARNING:
http://buzzcomics.net/showpost.php?p=1216555&postcount=1
So is this just incompetence on Boom's part, or what? Who releases a preview of part 4 and ruins any surprises in part 3? Is Ducktales #6 even OUT this week?
In other news, do any of you follow Tad Stones' twitter feed? He posted a new Darkwing/Gosalyn drawing and had a somewhat cryptic message about Darkwing's "new run."

An hour before I'm posting this, Ian Brill Tweeted:
"Tomorrow both DUCKTALES #6 and DARKWING DUCK #18 arrive in stores. The last two-parts of the big x-over. Check them out, a duckstravaganza!"
That should settle it. Both are out tomorrow, 11/9.

If one were to pre-order the trade paperback at a website like tfaw.com, could one rest assured that they would get it? Or, given this "printed to order" business, is it better to order directly from Boom (although they don't have that option on their website yet) or buy the individual issues tomorrow, assuming they're all still available? I would prefer the TPB, but don't want to wait if there's a chance of not getting it.

Well I just picked up these issues today. I honestly don't have too much to say this time. As I sadly expected, neither issue was exceptional. Here's just a few (spoiler-filled notes.)
Darkwing: "No need to be afraid, Gosalyn! How we're going to explain this to Honker's parents? That I'm afraid of!" Uh, NOW he's worried about that? He's dragged the kid dozens of adventures decades ago.
After a horribly rushed fight with the Maleficent dragon, Monstro and Chernabog and the giant Honker monster (forgot if he's supposed to be based on some Disney movie villain), they cut immediately to the Money Bin - with not even a caption identifying it as such. If I didn't know better I'd say Kaboom just completely missed a page.
So Darkwing and Gizmoduck finally reunite and have absolutely zero of the chemistry they had in the original series. Disappointingly, they hardly had any interaction at all in this series. All Darkwing ever got to do in this series was admit some respect, which I honestly thought was kind of a nice out-of-character moment, but still I would've preferred it reverted once Gizmoduck was back to normal.
So Darkwing and Morgana finally reunite and Morgana's still just the damsel in the distress. Then again, I guess putting the spell on Negaduck was kind of significant.
Am I reading too much into this or "Too Bad we can't get in on the action. Or can we, Morgy-Baby?" sound just a little suggestive? I know the original series got some crap past the radar but...
Donald as Agent 44 was kind of nice twist. So I guess he's retired from the navy now, but his nephews are still are living with Scrooge - or are they? The new series never even got to show the Ducks at home? Given that the new series completely rewrite the original DuckTales continuity to incorporate Barks/Rosa continuity (as well as various other continuities) I honestly wouldn't be too surprised if the series continued that Scrooge (and maybe Huey, Dewey and Louie) would live in the Money Bin.
The cameo scene is kind of interesting. I think the only ones on the cover of DuckTales #5 who didn't appear in the actual issue (or either new comic series) are Grizlikoff, Sara Bellum, Stegmutt, Neptunia and Pete. But anyway I think they managed to get the entire DuckTales cast in the series. So Bubba - and the Genie Duck - are finally acknowledged. I honestly didn't care too much for either character, but I find it a little bothersome that Scrooge apparently abandoned two children he adopted. I'd prefer it if they just were left out of the story completely.
So Darkwing finally defeats Negaduck using Morgana's spell by telling him what a loner he is? (Groan) Awful cliche.
And the whole thing finally ends with Scrooge and Darkwing shaking hands. (Groan) Another awful cliche.

Quote from user: Lars JensenThe first four issues of DuckTales have now been compiled in a trade paperback. From what I hear, the problematic artwork from issue 3 has been redrawn for the trade.
True! I picked it up last week: the ENTIRE single page of Gladstone in the car covered by a dialogue balloon and the repeated Rockerduck panels has been re-drawn - it looks reasonably competent. I don't want to bend the spine on the TPB to scan it, but when I get a chance this week I will take a good, clear photo and post it here. There's a big difference. Many of the other poorly drawn panels and art conflicts still made it into the book, though.
Quote from user: Manduck[Referencing the final two issues of kaboom's DuckTales/Darkwing Duck cross-over: "Dangerous Currency"]
As I sadly expected, neither issue was exceptional.
I think this cross-over unfortunately got rushed and a lot of compromises had to be made. From all I've read, it appears to have been a victim of "too many cooks" as far as the writing goes. It's too bad, because there was such outstanding potential to finally officially bring these two properties together. Lotta credit should be given to James Silvani for the extra work he put into these four issues, without his efforts, we might have experienced a far lesser product.
