Sorry for the bad quality, I just used my mobile phone to take the pictures. Maybe DuckburgUSA will post some better ones later.
It's the same dialog, but you can see the entire page is redrawn (or should we say actually drawn) in the TPB:



I didn't find any more redrawn art in the TPB, but one page had some major color corrections:

What's with the strange-looking eyes sported by Gladstone, Webby, and Cinnamon in the redrawn page?

FAa, do you have any information on who did this redrawing?

The trade looks much better than the clip-art of the actual issue, but still isn't very good.
After reading the DuckTales/Darkwing Duck crossover, with it's rampant continuity errors, terrible dialogue, clumsily forced sentiment, and plot that made no sense whatsoever... I'm glad to see the BOOM/Kaboom era end. I only hope the complete lack of care they put into this license doesn't sink the chances of GOOD Disney comics being produced somewhere else.
I thought of writing a complete review of the crossover, but the more I look at it, the more I realize it's not even worth the effort. For 20 years fans have wanted to see these characters team-up, and this is what we got? For shame, BOOM. It's clear the writer, and the company at large, just didn't care. They just squeezed the last few dollars thay could out of a license they were losing. For shame, BOOM. For shame.

I hope that the next company to publish Disney Comics will a better job than Boom Studios. I guess you can say that Boom Studios is the Whitman Publishing of the 21st Century.

Dear Roger, I think your verdict is not fair. Boom published - besides the innovative Darkwink stories - new (at least in the US) Disney material (always Barks and Rosa is boaring, you get everything of it for little money on Ebay!) like the Mouse stories of Casty and Doubleduck, furthermore they gave to us some of the new Van Horn stories, but also classic material and all of that in good quality regarding paper and color. It´s right that some of their projects failed but the same happened to Gladstone, to Gemstone and to every Disney publisher. The difference between Whitman and Boom is that Whitman published solely weak or rehashed material which is not true for Boom.

Maybe so but a lot of people have been saying more negative things than positive things. I don't agree with what they say but the fact is that a lot of people have been complaining about the material that Boom Studios publishes. I don't mind new material being published but at least with Gladstone and Gemstone a majority of the staff members are people who grew up on Disney Comics. They actually cared about their readers unlike Boom Studios who were only in on it for the money. I heard that Whitman published some lousy stories but ever since they obtained the Disney Comics License a lot of people have saying how bad the material is. I mean yeah they brought back comic books based on some of the former Disney Afternoon shows but they could have done a better job with the classic characters. My verdict may not be fair but the facts are that a lot more people hated the Disney Comics that Boom Studios published than those that liked them. I think the same was true for Whitman. That's why I said Boom Studios is the Whitman of the 21st Century.

I bought the trade paperback last week and finished reading it today. This is one of the worst "drawn" Disney comics I ever read. A lot of panels have characters that look like copied and upscaled on a cheap graphic program. I get the impression that Boom wanted to make some money with less effort before the end of it's Disney time.
I thought about throwing the book away, but perhaps I keep it as a historic item for this bad time.

Quote from user: ManduckThe 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.
Scrooge never (officially) adopted Genie-turned-boy. I know that it SEEMED like it at the end of DT:TM, but I don't think adoption was ever explicitly referenced.

Well more-or-less. The Genie was living with them, they never explain what happend to him so we can asume he was living with Scrooge and Scrooge tell him he can call him "uncle"...

If you're right, then can we assume that Genie's room is in the attic or the garage, as the Nephews' was at the start of "Treasure of the Golden Suns"? That seems to be Step 1 on the trip up the ladder...

I have never seen the Genie anywhere outside the movie except for his cameo appearance in Dangerous Currency.

I asume living in the cave in Scrooge's garden is step "zero". It woudn't supprise me if Bubba is the lowest in Scrooge nephew hierarchy.

Wow, this technicaly make Scrooge living with SIX kids who refrence him as "uncle". I wonder did neighbors did ever found the whole thing suspicious and Scrooge got visit from the police or something...

ACTUALLY if there's one Issue of "Duck Tales" I would like to see would be a story betwen "DuckTales" and "QuackPack" (I always asume they are ment to be the same univers) where Donald finally gets back from navy and have to take boys back home... I just find something bizzarle sad about this idea . Boys would be happy to be back with Donald but at the same time they worry Scrooge will get lonely without them, they start to reminisce all the adventures they had together. This could make a very emotional and melancholic story...

They're not. IIRC, they were originally intended to... but they're not.

Fair enough.
I DO remember an episode of "Quack Pack" when Donald did had to go back to the navy whcih appears to be a DuckTales refrence but I guess that's as far they went

That particular episode ("All Hands on Duck") is an anomaly in that it featured anthropomorphic characters (including Admiral Grimitz) rather than humans. With its reference to Donald's navy career, it's clearly a direct sequel to DuckTales, unlike the series as a whole. Did they have a leftover DuckTales script or something? I'm curious to learn the background of this unique episode.
