DuckTales (Boom! Studios)

The DuckTales comic book published by Boom! Studios was the third of three different comic books based on the animated series of the same name. Coming at the tail end of Boom!'s run with the Disney comic license, it only lasted for six issues, from May to November of 2011.

Like the previous DuckTales comic book published by Disney Comics, Boom!'s DuckTales comic was to feature multi-part stories. It was written by Epic Mickey creator Warren Spector and was intended to be set within the same universe as the Darkwing Duck comic that Boom! was running at the time. Miquel Pujol was also announced to be the illustrator for the comic. However, the comic ended up only running two arcs (the second of which would be a crossover with the Darkwing comic) before being cancelled, and despite the advertisements listing Pujol as the artist, he did not actually illustrate the comic; the art tasks for the comic were instead handled by Leonel Castellani, Jose Massaroli, and Magic Eye Studios.

The comic was criticized for its poor writing and pacing, continuity errors and mischaracterization in relation to the show, and sloppy artwork (with particular negativity being given to an unfinished-looking page in issue #3; said page was fixed in the trade paperback of the story arc), to the point that issue #4's release was delayed by a month. With Disney shifting the license to Marvel Comics (or so it seemed), the comic and its sister title were cancelled in November 2011.

Since the comic's crossover arc with Darkwing Duck is not being reprinted in Darkwing Duck: Definitively Dangerous Edition, it is possible that both of the story arcs featured in the comic are no longer considered canon.
