If you were wondering if Negaduck would make an appearance in the Dynamite Entertainment/Disney publishing line-up, you only have to wait a little longer, as the publisher announced a new series will arrive in September 2023!
Darkwing Duck is the honorable protector of St. Canard, and a strong family man to his daughter Gosalyn. Over in his native Negaverse, Negaduck is the polar opposite of everything Drake Mallard stands for, his evil doppelganger in every way. Negaduck is nefarious and dedicated to stealing lollipops from children and not helping grandmothers cross the street! Now, in his brand-new title, he’s revving up a reign of crime and terror of record levels. There’s only one problem… all the other criminals are ripping off his ideas — so he’s taking his show on the road!
Jeff Parker will take on the writing duties for the series, while Ciro Cangialosi provides the art.
“When I’m doing stuff that’s very all ages, I still try to entertain myself first, and I assume the reader is pretty smart even when very young,” said writer Jeff Parker in a press release from Dynamite Entertainment. “I like how universal in appeal books like this can be, you ‘get it’ within a page and are along for the ride, you don’t have to read a wiki entry before beginning. I like to make stories for newer readers and get older readers to reconnect to the kind of work that pulled them into comics and animation. Also, I love that I can give these books out at Halloween with candy, that’s a big plus with all-ages stories.”
Negaduck #1 arrives in September 2023.
