It's not just us. Over on the Bleeding Cool forums, someone posted:
I'd be interested to hear Boom's response to this.

To which another poster replied:
LOL! You really should write comedy. Boom! doesn't answer anything. The only thing they post are "We have exciting news for you. Please wait!". They didn't even have the courage to tell their readers that yes, all their Disney stuff was going away and just ignored readers asking why. Their dealing with fans make Marvel's fratboy party look like people for are always telling the truth and are straight and upfront with their readers.

Someone should really set the Bleeding Cool readership straight on "Brill's" Darkwing Duck. According to the threads over at Negaverse, it seems he's heavily rewritten first by Aaron Sparrow and now by James Silvani. I'm not sure how much rewriting Brill gets on Darkwing, but I believe it after reading his lackluster Rescue Rangers.
Kneon- So everytime you posted something, Chip Mosher would scold you? Why? You weren't employed by Boom in any capacity, were you? In any case, I'll bet he's blowing you up now! :o
So the question that must be asked...is this just Boom incompetence, apathy, or a deliberate, malicious act on their part toward Disney Comics?

Ian Brill (@ibrill) tweeted this last night:
Of course, we're still making the last issues! Believe me we are going out with style (and building on what we've been doing from the start)
In response to all of the brouhaha over DT #3? Dunno. But it sounds as if they intend to finish off both series.

Looking at the rate the quality declines, here's my guess what the cross-over in DuckFail #6 will look like.

Hi guys,

Well, you've been blowing up my twitter account and facebook page, so I thought I'd drop in.

I'm glad that unlike a lot of forums, you guys here at DCF seem to understand that Disney is not at fault here. I've said it elsewhere, but I want to reiterate that the people I was fortunate to work with at Disney Publishing cared immensely about all of the product and the characters, and were not only helpful but very enthusiastic and encouraging about the idea of relaunching the Disney Afternoon properties. The proper presentation of the characters, both in terms of writing and art, was of paramount importance to them. I wouldn't presume to speak for them, but I imagine they are as appalled at this as you are. IMHO, I doubt their approval people saw the art in question before it went to print. Often, things were sent to print without Disney's final approval, and the attitude was "Just say the printer uploaded the wrong file, and we'll fix it for the trade."

Incidentally, I'd like to point out that editor Christopher Burns really wanted to make this title every bit as spectacular as the characters, and you, the fans, deserved. Unfortunately, his hands were tied at every level, and he has since left the company.

Thanks DuckburgUSA! I think it's important that the truth be told, especially when the tendency is to go "Oh, Disney does it to us again!" I wanted to make sure you guys know that Publishing wants amazing Disney Comics on the stands as much as the fans do, and that there's a lot that hapened behind the scenes that was very different than you might imagine.
Obviously the rank and file that worked on the books have great love for the properties, and would welcome the opportunity to work on them again. Christopher and I have a Scrooge story we are dying to tell...if David Gerstein gives us a "well, you guys didn't screw this up TOO badly" seal of approval) and I think I've told everyone who'll listen that I believe Darkwing and I have unfinished business. :D

Out of curiosity: would it be set in the DuckTales universe? Regular universe?
