That's cool news to know that more comics will be coming out and I'll probably pick up the Omnibus even though I already have the comics to support them. I've had several exchanges with Aaron Sparrow and he was a really cool guy. I jokes with him about the ending of the FOWL arc I think it was about South Park beating them to the Cthulhu thing.

Aaron Sparrow was the guy I referred to as the member of the forum. He even showed us how he would have done the ending to the Ducktales crossover and must say his was a lot better.

I hung out on 'The Old Haunt' for a little while before I forgot my password. How did Aaron propose to end it if you don't mind sharing it?

I'm a member on oldHaunt so you might have seen my messages on there. He did write a long document telling us what would have happened I can't remember 100% of it but as soon as I find it again I'll put it on here
SpoilerAaron didn't like the idea of the Phantom Blot being manipulated by Magica. (You don't make Disney's Ultimate villain into a chum his words) In his version after we see where the slime comes from we still see Negaduck and Morgana. Magica tells Darkwing she can bring back Morgana but she needs one thing. Scrooge's number one dime. Scrooge refuses but then he understands what it's like not being with the woman you love (Goldie) give Magica the dime. Magica brings back Morgana but then Negaduck comes back.
The Fearsome four fight Negaduck but since they have slime powers and NegaDuck is the slime, he defeats them easily. The Phantom blot takes the dime of Magica and uses it for his invention to use for his plot. Merge the Negaverse into him. He had been using Magica the whole time. His plan begins which puts the world into danger. the remaining villans run away (only way Aaron could write them out) leaving the good guys. Scrooge rings up agent 44 who is still Donald (Aaron didn't like that twist as it made no sense. Had my way it would have been Femme Appeal) who leads an evacuation in a bumbling fashion.
The phantom Blot summons some foot solider type bad guys for Launchpad and the nephews to fight. LP fights a version of himself from the Ducktales episode Launchpad's first Crash) and the newphews fight their Quackpack version who they easily defeat (take that Quackpack) then they fight their comic versions.
Darkwing and Gizmoduck get to the top of Scrooge's money bin where the the Phantom Blot merge takes place. Gizmoduck is still affected by the slime so is defeated leaving just DW, the Blot and now Negaduck who take part in a three way battle. DW somehow stops the merge from happening which leads to an explosion. DW falls of the money bin unconscious. Gosalyn runs to his body and the next scene is mirroring Gosalyn's near death in the end of Duck Knight Returns. DW then gains consensus.
Negaduck is still alive and sees Magica and gets all friendlier with her. In the last scene we see Magica in her hideout saying she will never join forces with another villain again as it's too much trouble. We then see Negaduck is part of Magica's ornament.
Now that's how you write a DW/Darkwing crossover

That does sound much better and much more interesting than what actually happens. There are a fair lot of twists in that plot. Character development for Scrooge. The negaverse merging with Phantom Blot is kinda Sailor Moonsque which is funny consisting the DIC dub referred to the black kingdom as the Negaverse, The idea of the Nephew's fighting their Quackpack self is hilarious. (Femme Appeal was so disliked by the fanbase though IIRC).

{Spoiler}I liked Femme Appeal myself. An interesting addition.
Toy with me was a very interesting story. It was almost Darkwing's version of Killing Joke even includes a parody cover) Now Claire was disliked by the fan base for being bland but I reckon she could turn into a villain similar to Harley Quinn. I asked Arron myself about that and he said I'm both right and wrong at the same time.
Some other trivia from me
1) James Silvani the talented artist although didn't write the story did contribute here and there but sadly couldn't prevent the disaster of the Ducktales crossover. Crisis on infinite Darkwings originally was going to have the alternate Darkwings run away when Magica fled. Silvani was reasonable for the end results
2) Initially series creator Tad Stones wanted Quckerjack to be their version of Joker but ended up silly and eccentric. This is where the idea of his darker persona comes from.
3) Negaduck was considered to be revealed as the head of Quackworks but Aaron felt that wouldn't work as Negaduck would want to destroy the city rather than take it over
4) Toy With Me was written as a dig at Aaron. I'm referring to the Quackerjack part of how he was frustrated at his work at Quackworks.
5) Tad Stones objected to the campaign arc and didn't want Boom to use it as he felt a political storyline doesn't fit in a supherhero genre. Also there was a scene that featured DW fighting the civil servants of doom but was changed to the league of barely remembered Supervillans. An idea pitched by Silvani
6) In the Ducktales crossover Silvani did tell then editor Ian Brill that Mrs Crackshell knows Fenton is Gizmoduck but sadly it looked like he didn't listen.
Can't wait for the new comic series to begin. I think Morgana's disappearance is still going to happen, Toy with me is still canon and Negaduck's fate may be changed (I really don't know why he was ranting when DW defeated him in Crisis. What was it exactly that he lost. They never revealed it)

I can't really choose which one I like better, but they were both pretty good. Scrooge was quite an odd character and so was Darkwing Duck. Actually, a lot of characters played by Jim Cummings turn out to be like that.

Seen this Metamorphical
Some one has seen the new Darkwing comic series and the new ending had left them "both excited and annoyed"
Spoiler Is that an Hobbit Desolation of Smorg ending kind of annoyed? Guess we'll have to wait and see. it's out on the 24th of this month and hopefully I'll get my copy around then
Did anyone play Ducktales remastered? That was an excellent game. The voice work was the best thing about it. Alan Young really stole the show here. 95 years old and he can still do Scrooge. The new voice actors did a good job. Glumgold and Gyro's new voice actors did a good job. Fenton took a while to get used to but I felt he was a better Gizmoduck than Fenton. I hope they do Ducktales 2 remastered due to the excellence of the first one.

To an extent I idolize the Ducktales version of Scrooge and I know that's strange. "Work smarter not harder" is I quote I heard the first time from him and is words to live by.
Jim Cumming has quite a few unusual characters. Hondo Ohnaka was voice by him in The Clone Wars and may have been one of my favorite characters it introduced just because of how awesome his voice was.

Jim Cummings has played some rather odd characters, like the mother gorilla in Timon and Pumbaa and Dr. Robotnik from Sonic SATAM. Also, I'd say that the Ducktales version of Scrooge McDuck is far more likable than the Mickey Mouse one.

Got my Definitely Dangerous edition. Fantastic read and it's improved a lot. SO I recommend all you Darkwing fans to get it. Still the same story but the dialogue has changed
{Spoiler}Negaduck has been improved. I really didn't know what he was ranting about when he lost his hold over the alternate Darkwings so that part has gone. Ian Brill really did ruin him. The Darkwing/Stealbeak team up is a lot more fun under Aaron Sparrow. I feel Suff-Rage is someone else who benefits from being under him as well. Morgana now seems more experienced in strange magic which makes her similar to Marvel character DR Strange Some good dialogue to watch out for. Loved the Toy Story reference, shame the obscure Tiny Toon reference didn't make it but we did get an obscure reference to Goofy Movie (I only know it as I've seen the movie so many times) so that's one to look out for. I also loved the reference to Ducktales the movie. Darkwing's future does indeed look bright and there's lots of loose ends to play with already. The same ones Ian Brill crammed in the Ducktales crossover. SO I'll be interested to see whichever ones Aaron chooses to do first. He did tell me a few once. Here's to a good dangerous future for DW

First look at the new DuckTales reboot planned for next year: tvline.com/2016/03/07/ducktales-revival-first-photo-disney-xd-scrooge-mcduck/Thought I'd read somewhere it was going to be CGI (or perhaps just assumed, given how so much is these days), so I'm relieved to see that is not the case. A few minor tweaks to the character designs, but it appears to be reasonably faithful to the look of the original. Here's hoping the audio matches the visuals and the new cast sounds good!

Great find Chris and thanks for sharing.
When you say original do you mean the Carl Barks comic books series that it was based on because that's what it reminds me of. It could be an interesting move to focus more on that series and distance itself away from the Ducktales 80's cartoon. Could it be safe to assume Donald will be a regular? The funny thing was he was made into a reoccurring character because they wanted Scrooge to be the main star and Donald being one of the most famous cartoon characters ever would overshadow Scrooge. When they adapted Car Barks stories into episodes Launchpad had his role. Which brings me to my next point, What will Launchpad's role be? Is he in this? Is he not? I'm fine with whatever the outcome is. Terry McGovern (the voice) was heartbroken when he heard about the new voice cast and if Launchpad was never even part of the cast in the first place then that news should please him a little. Or maybe Launchpad is in St Canard.
As a Ducktales fan since a child I'm interested so far in this news and it would be good to focus more on the Carl Barks comics. I'll look forward to hearing more news in time.

I've just heard. It's very sad as Scrooge McDuck was an important figure from my childhood and Alan Young really did a fantastic job bringing Scrooge McDuck to life. He was what made Ducktales great. To me he was the star player from Ducktales remastered. It was great Alan Young was Scrooge for so long.
RIP Alan Young. There's a Money bin in Heaven with you're name on it.

We now have a Ducktales reboot teaser poster
spinoff.comicbookresources.com/2016/07/20/sdcc-ducktales-revival-unveils-new-poster-woo-oo/
Going by the poster I think they are going down the original Carl Barks comic route which is good. Ninja Turtles 03 series went back to its comic routes after the successful 80s series which worked for them. I think it could work for Ducktales.
I would like to know if Launchpad is in it. He wasn't in the original comics but neither was Webby (I'm assuming that is definitely her) I think she's being added to give more female presence.

The writer of that article seems to think Launchpad will be in it. That's a cool anime style poster with Scrooge's silhouette. Its just going to take some getting used to the crackbabyed animation this reboot has compared to the beautiful animation in the old Disney afternoon shows. But Steven Universe sometimes confuses people into thinking it's anime so that bodes well. I am a little wary of going down the man of action route though which makes me think of going from The Spectacular Spiderman to Ultimate Spiderman. I'm really hoping this has more action cartoon DNA in it like the original. I wouldn't mind seeing Ducktales paired up with Star Wars Rebels in a block.
Am I the only one reminded of Huey, Dewey, and Louie's Quackpack personalities by the poster?

Watching Interstellar for the first time earlier, I couldn't help picture their Ranger ship as being how the Thunderquack might look in a gritty, futuristic Darkwing Duck reboot. The basic shape is there. Might need a few tweaks to look more duck-like...

So Scrooge's new voice is heard here!
I actually like it, it's almost similar to Alan Young.
