"DuckTales." Who doesn't love that series? It stars Donald Duck's irascible, penny-pinching Uncle Scrooge McDuck, who swims around in his towering vault filled with money. It was also the subject of a '90s TV cartoon series and a pair of excellent Nes games. And now it's going to be featured in a new comic book series from Boom! Studios penned by "Epic Mickey" and "Deus Ex" designer, Warren Spector.
Spector's run of "DuckTales" comics kicks off in May with art from Miquel Pujol. The first issue will be released with two covers, featuring art from Leonel Castellani and James Silvani. Boom! also recently launched a line of "Darkwing Duck" comics (basically a duck-billed Batman) as part of its Disney Afternoon Revolution. "DuckTales" is similarly part of the Revolution, and it will be set in the same universe as "Darkwing."
The big news here for we gamers is Spector's involvement.
