As Many of you know the New story arc for Uncle Scrooge is out with The Ducktales Arc.
I now officially have the comic and I'd like to do a short review.
Starting first with the cover yes this was the final art for one of two covers.
The art is top notch even adding a bit to the original look of the Characters form the 90's. I give the Cover art a big triple A plus.
Really excellent.
The inside cover with credits is just as cool then we get to the real meat and Back bone of the comic the story itself.
In Titled Like a Hurricane Part one. We find Scrooge Donald and the nephews in the McDuck Library all reading Scrooge reading a book on a famous explorer that was said to have found a lasting energy source called ever lasting Coal.
Scrooges Butler Duck worth Brings in a bill for Scrooge and its a whooping total for all his fuel coast for the month.
Scrooge freaks as normal at the total which was funny. Just like old Times.
He starts wishing there was some of that everlasting coal around to power his business and such. Enter LP (Launch Pad for newer fans) who says he has a piece of this stuff but never tried to burn it. he goes to get it and they test it. Turns out its the right stuff.
They set out to go and get more But Flintheart Gloomgolds lackey over hears and calls him about it.
as Scrooge and the gang pack to leave Gloomgold places water in the planes fuel tank.
that later causes trouble and a famous LP Crash landing into quick sand none the less.
same Ol LP.
later they meet with local villagers were the coal is said to be found and are warned of a tribe that would attack them if irritated enough. Does that stop Scrooge Nah!
They head off the next morning and then set up camp and are attacked and when all hope looks lost LP (Launchpad) saved the day.
Later after the attack Cold and Hungry they find a raided Village and take refuge and find a whole bunch of Coal.
Later still they see Gloomgolds plane and he's been taken prisoner buy the other local tribe. and is to be executed.
Well they decide to save him and lol Scrooge couldn't reset rubbing it in. along the way Launchpad gave a Darkwing Reference seeing Dw is his other boss.
"I always carry a flash light In case Dw loses the keys to the ratcatcher.." hahahaha lol
Any who, They save Gloomgold and have a narrow escape with the Villager calling them capitalist Pigs yes this is a little more modern day Dt Fans but it didn't change at all.
they get back to Duckburg and Gloomgold thinks they're all empty handed. Bzzzzzt wrong-o Scrooge and Gang saved the coal they found in the village and had Gyro build energy saving lamps with the stuff. End of first part.
Over all a perfect story full of action and adventure that retains the original Ducktails and adding a modern Flare.
Defiantly a big A triple plus.
The second part was a short story with the Nephews and Webby making a Gizmoduck suit copy and having a Little qural over who would wear it for a school crime fair.
Eventually at The Mcduck art Museum the Beagle boys are stealing Scrooges Money art and changing them with fakes .
Typical Beagles.
Webby takes the chance to put on the Gizmoduck suit thee one she and the Boys built, and they try to stop the Beagles and there was even another Dw (Darkwing) reference to Gosalyn as Quiver wing quack and Webby wanting to be like a female Crime fighter.
They the nephews and her are kidnapped by the beagles and the Boy's are put in a tense situation the old Pit and the pendulum gag. well eventually Scrooge has Gizmo duck save em and have a happy ending. as Webby even helped capture the Beagles,
With a funny end picture.
again another A triple plus story and a great way to close out Like a hurricane Part 1.
So a final Review.
Cover and Art. 10/10.
Story's 10/10.
all around a perfect score.
If you all can like with Darkwing pick this up you will not be disappointed. Disney and Boom together a match made in heaven.
And with that I'm Out.Till next Time Spinners and Loyal Disney fans.
