I saw this and I can't wait to get my hands on an issue. ^_~

Part of the Gargoyles comic's problems was inconsistent publishing and (at least where I was) it was not an easy comic to find when publish. Volume 2 of the graphic novels is just about impossible to find. I heard it was only released at some conventions. @_@ I don't think Disney was giving it that much support (it felt like Fox and Firefly all over again). It's sad though because the comic was good and we were finally getting to see the stories Greg had planned for years but never got to be animated.

I think Darkwing Duck will do better since it's being published by Boom comic and they're other Disney comics have been doing well. (Example: Toy Story, The Incredible, The Muppet Show, etc) If it does do well, it would be awesome to see more of the Disney afternoon shows to be published.

For me, I would love to see Tale Spin and Gummi Bears get published as comics (although, I can see why they wouldn't do Gummi Bears since it did get somewhat a proper ending.)

I attended the 2009 Gathering of the Gargoyles and bought volume two there. I didn't realize how lucky I was until I showed the comic to a friend and she was like "Whoa! That book isn't supposed to be released for months!". SLG and/or Disney really screwed that one up. And the god-awful art in the early issues didn't help either.

I'm relieved to hear that Boom is a better company than SLG. Hopefully they'll be smart about marketing Darkwing to the right people and getting the word out.

For me, I would love to see Tale Spin and Gummi Bears get published as comics (although, I can see why they wouldn't do Gummi Bears since it did get somewhat a proper ending.)

Yeah. If I could only pick one Disney Afternoon show to get a new comic series, it would be Talespin. Mainly because it still bugs me that Talespin never got a proper finale or a movie despite having a SPECTACULAR setting, an epic scope, and complex characters.

.....and my inner child still wishes she could see Baloo and Becky get together in canon. ^_^;

The Gargoyles series really got screwed. Thankfully, Boom Comics is more reliable. It wouldn't surprise me if Darkwing Duck was the test run or beginning of printing more Disney Afternoon comics. There's a lot of potential there.

The cool think about Talespin is that it was the ultimate AU. The series would be perfect for a comic series.

HOLY. SHIT. I cannot wait for that! I'm waiting for a live-action movie! I've been saying it for years now.
