It was the March 1992 issue with Candace Cameron-Bure on the cover. It was about lost civilizations with articles on lost civilizations and comics from Darkwing Duck and the epic beginning to the Gates of Shambhala miniseries.

Not only did they have Darkwing Duck with Launchpad, but the Ducktales comic I mentioned with that quote. The group went to the moon to find more "moon rocks" after Scrooge found one in Duckburg. So, thinking he'll strike it rich again, they go back up in a rocket sans extra parts Gyro told them to bring. Scrooge found his treasure and they attempt to go home. They run into trouble and it turns out those gems are worthless, and can be found for a nickel in St. Canard. Said gems end up saving their lives and Scrooge is out the money it cost to take ther trip. Oops!!

I just finished watching it. I liked it okay. I'll put my thoughts in a spoiler tag, though, but before I do so, I will say a couple of things...Friendship is magic with a little bit of Thanos tossed in to destroy that message. The other thing is that I like how Scrooge was being comforting towards Lena given her magic issue situation. Sometimes I try to picture 1987 Scrooge for some parts of this 2017 series. The scene mentioned, is one that has be wondering if 1987 Scrooge would've been as comforting.
Spoiler:
It was nice seeing Magica again. I can't help but wonder what they will do with her character from this point forward since she has her powers back. I wonder how this will affect Scrooge once he finds out that she has her powers back. Also, the Blot character or whatever...I wonder if he's going to return again and go after Magica and Lena again. It's not like he was destroyed...only his glove was.

I really enjoyed the Lena, Violet, and Webby moments. It was funny how Violet was suggesting that they don't have sleepovers anymore for Lena's sake, as she was having trouble with controlling her magic, and Webby gave her that threatening look, meaning, that just wasn't going to be an option. Webby is still getting used of having friends around.

Oh the music for Lena's training montage made me think of the Wuzzles for some reason. lol

Gladstone for this episode. I guess we now have an explanation for why he's so lucky. He has some form of magic through no fault of his own, I guess you could say. When he was zapped, though, and he started to have, not really bad luck, but was more of an ordinary, everyday guy, it just shows how pathetic a person he truly is. He has no skills what-so-ever and relies on luck to the point of its being a crutch. He definitely doesn't know the value of hard work and earning everything as he's always been handed everything. I will admit, though, when Gladstone was telling his story of how he went to a restaurant, expected a free meal, didn't get one, was given a price to pay, but his wallet was empty and a $20 bill didn't just fly in there, and then having to go to the bank, which was closed (a foreign concept for him), and had to resort to using the ATM, which he got $20 but was disappointed because he's so used of extra money luckily coming out...or rubies...was funny. Oh, his crying over having to actually open a door himself was funny too.

Gladstone losing his luck would've been better for me if Donald would've been around to witness this. lol Could you imagine his reaction to Gladstone finally having bad luck?

Lena's finally being able to harness magic on her own with out the need of Magica's amulet is a nice twist. Not big on Lena's new design, but it's something and nice that, as Webby put it, how Magica isn't the only Sorceress in town anymore.


You know, one thing I wondered about this episode was where Mrs. Beakley was. It was odd that she wasn't around for this episode. It's not like her to go on adventures with the others.

Saw the episode it was great.

Spoiler:
Loved the Bonkers cameo. McDuck family now know F.O.W.L are back


Here are the new episode descriptions.

Spoiler:


DuckTales “The Split Sword of Swanstantine!”

(7:00-7:30 P.M. EDT)

The kids pair off to find the missing pieces of a mystical sword hidden throughout a marketplace unless F.O.W.L. gets to them first.

*Flula Borg (“Pitch Perfect 2”) guest stars as Spice Baron. John Hodgman (“The Tick”) and Jason Mantzoukas (“The League”) return as John Rockerduck and Steelbeak, respectively.

DuckTales “New Gods on the Block!”

(7:00-7:30 P.M. EDT)

The kids try to prove themselves by auditioning to take Zeus’ place amongst the Greek gods, while Storkules interferes with Donald and Daisy’s date.

*Tress MacNeille (“The Simpsons”), Michael Chiklis (“The Shield”) and Chris Diamantopoulos (“Silicon Valley”) return as Daisy, Zeus and Storkules, respectively.

DuckTales “The First Adventure!”

(7:00-7:30 P.M. EDT)

Scrooge is forced to babysit young Donald and Della as they go on their first adventure to find a powerful artifact, unaware that Bradford is taking on this mission personally.

DuckTales “The Fight for Castle McDuck!”

(7:00-7:30 P.M. EDT)

A bitter feud between Scrooge and his sister, Matilda, spreads to the rest of the family as Phantom Blot attempts to steal a priceless artifact and destroy Castle McDuck once and for all.

*Michelle Gomez (“Doctor Who”) guest stars as Matilda McDuck and Giancarlo Esposito (“Breaking Bad”) returns as Phantom Blot.

DuckTales “How Santa Stole Christmas!”

(7:00-7:30 P.M. EDT)

Scrooge teams up with his archrival, Santa Claus, to save Christmas, while Webby discovers the true history behind their infamous feud.

*Hugh Bonneville (“Downton Abbey”) guest stars as Santa Claus.

I know the First Adventure is a flash back but is the Battle for Castle McDuck a flashback too and we finally get to see Matilda but does this mean we will see Hortense and Quackmore too.

I haven't watched the new ep yet. I forgot about it for this week. Liked the Halloween ep. I was never a big Darkwing Duck fan and rarely watched the show, so I'm not as excited for the special as others. I will probably watch it this weekend, though.

Another really good episode today.

Spoiler:

Had some really good twists, Webby's disguise as Dewey and F.O.W.L taking over Scrooge security system was a distraction so they could take the missing mysteries that were already found (The Harp, Fountain of Youth, Genie and Ram Rod thing)

Donald being one of the suspected traitors, was pretty funny.

I thought the Darkwing Duck episode was very entertaining. It was very action-packed and plenty of callbacks to the classic TV show. I thought it was also funny how Scrooge, Huey, Dewey, and Louie were sent to an alternate dimension where they were all dressed in their classic attire and were experiencing an episode similar to the original series. If we are in fact going to get a Darkwing Duck reboot series, it'll be very clever that Launchpad will spend his days in Duckberg and evenings with Darkwing Duck and Gosalyn. If Chris Diamantopoulos will be Darkwing Duck full-time though it will take some time for me to get adjusted too since I love Jim Cummings' portrayal. At least he will likely be Negaduck in that show.
