I remember liking Darkwing Duck and its theme song, but not much else about it. I've played the 8-bit Mega Man-style game and it was impressive for an NES title. I think it came out late in the system's life.

Anybody who grew up in the early '90s surely remembers Darkwing Duck, one of the great Disney Afternoon shows. Last year I found out there had been a Darkwing Duck revival in 2010 as a comic book and it was apparently very good, though it ran only about two years before its publisher lost the Disney license. A different publisher, Joe Books, finally picked up the license for Darkwing and the first thing they did was put out a giant, 400-page collection of the previous comic series. I finally picked it up after Christmas and have really been enjoying it. I'm in the second story arc at the moment. The art is great—looks like a very detailed version of the show—and the writing is spot on. I really love Darkwing's penchant for alliteration lol. If you have fond memories of DW or love colorful, cartoony comics, Darkwing Duck is a good one to check out. Joe Books has been making new Darkwing comics since getting the license, of course, and with the same creative team as before. The first volume of that just came out last month, which I'll probably grab that at some point as well.
This is the full wrap-around image that covers the big collection. Good stuff!
