Don't see the point of giving Donald an heroic alter ego except as a one shot a la Masked Mallard. Just having Donald interact with Fenton as is would be good enough for me.<br /><br />ChrisChris Barathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845538037091279990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357793224370188597.post-74280288448004500922014-09-06T21:31:37.465-04:002014-09-06T21:31:37.465-04:00Jason,

Is the title of that "Post-Ducktales duck tale"..I remember imagining that Donald's return might include the introduction of the Paperinik/Duck Avenger guise, perhaps in a parallel universe, where Ducktales would continue production and he would replace Launchpad, who was now featured in Darkwing Duck. Gizmoduck/Fenton would still be around - I could imagine him and Donald getting along in the same way Donald gets along with his cousin Fethry, so it would be more of a Dynamic Duck Duo than a "Tiff of The Titans"-esque rivalry.Comicbookrehabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09363501054869978524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357793224370188597.post-1690238005935041382014-09-05T13:54:06.732-04:002014-09-05T13:54:06.732-04:00Anon,

Kind of fitting for a finale, actually.<br /><br />"If you're going to be reviewing DuckTales fan fiction, I can't wait to hear your thoughts on Sharon McQuack."<br /><br />All I know about her is that she apparently describes herself as Launchpad's "wife," writes a lot of self-insertion fiction, and threatened to vicariously throttle some other fanfic writer who didn't treat LP with sufficient dignity. Do I NEED to hear any more than this???<br /><br />ChrisChris Barathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845538037091279990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357793224370188597.post-47018250281610039492014-09-05T13:51:33.065-04:002014-09-05T13:51:33.065-04:00Pan,

There was one story that appeared in Disney Comics in which Donald clearly indicated that he had just RETURNED from the Navy, so Joe Torcivia and I called it "the first post-DUCKTALES duck tale."<br /><br />ChrisChris Barathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845538037091279990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357793224370188597.post-24849818002554828362014-09-05T13:49:53.837-04:002014-09-05T13:49:53.837-04:00Deb,

Scrooge's Quest wasn't all bad for Disney's first attempt at a serialized DuckTales comic, and the DuckTales movie adaption is a fun book as well, livened up by John Lustig's scripting.Debhttp://www.fluffyandmervin.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357793224370188597.post-78823046398091358752014-09-04T23:07:28.270-04:002014-09-04T23:07:28.270-04:00I recommend Kim McFarland's "Darkwing Duc...I recommend Kim McFarland's "Darkwing Ducktales" fanfic tale on her "The Negapage" fan site the url is awfully long, but it shows up easy searching on Google.
