Roger Langridge will chronicle the rise of the Justice Ducks in December’s Darkwing Duck: Justice Ducks from Dynamite Entertainment.
“I’m a lifelong fan of the Disney Ducks as written and drawn by Carl Barks, so that style of storytelling is very much in my veins,” said series writer/artist Langridge in a press release. “I also have enormous fondness for the goofier end of superhero comics — 1960s Jimmy Olsen, Plastic Man, Metamorpho, Metal Men, and so on. Tonally, these are the sort of notes I’d like to hit.”
They are foes of evil. They are enemies of injustice. They are the Justice Ducks! When St. Canard faces mysterious flying saucers descending from the skies and (possibly) threatening the way of life of innocent civilians, Darkwing Duck cannot handle this threat all by himself. Drake Mallard will assemble the greatest team of adventurers and crime-stoppers ever seen, as he allies with Stegmutt, Gizmoduck, Neptunia, Morgana, and maybe some special assistance from his daughter Gosalyn, too!
Together this team of duck defenders and friends can take on the aggressive alien agitators and bummer bad guys and instill a new era of peace and prosperity for St. Canard. That is, if they manage not to get in each other’s way while at it!
Darkwing Duck: Justice Ducks #1 arrives in December 2023.
