So has anyone picked up these comics yet? I just found out about it this morning, so I'm heading down to my LCS in a couple hours to purchase issues 1&2. I would've thought being that this board is centered around an entity that was also a popular early 90s cartoon, that there would be quite a few on the board who wouldn't be able to resist a new Darkwing Duck comic.

$3.99 is indeed a little steep, but to be honest, if the comic is really good then I'll pay it. DW was one of my absolute favorite cartoons growing up and unlike a few others, it is still just as good watching it today as an adult. I've always considered DW to have quite possibly the coolest cartoon villians. Something about them always popped for me.

I've read the first two issues (I'm pretty sure that's all that's out so far), and it's fantastic. It seriously feels like an honest continuation of the TV series; the art and writing are just spot-on.

At Comic-Con I got to meet both the artist and the writer and Darkwing Duck creator Tad Stones, which was just incredible since DW is probably my #2 cartoon of all-time behind TMNT.

These comics are selling very fast but I was lucky to order both issue 1 and 2 online (mycomicshop.com).

So I read the first two issues last night and so far this series is indeed looking to be rather good. I'm totally on board with it.

Indeed. Diamond reports having shipped out 6300 copies of issue one in June. I'm not a big follower of sales but that sounds like a decent number for the first month of a Disney comic.

Issue 1 is already going to a 2nd printing, and issue 2 is being planned to do the same.

This reminds me I need to get back to my Darkwing Duck marathon... after I finish my current marathon of TMNToons. Didn't I read somewhere that there would eventually be a TPB? I think I'd rather wait for that.

BTW... Due to the high sales of the book (and the fan reaction) they have decided to make the mini-series an ongoing!! WOOT!
