The opening arc of Dynamite Entertainment’s new Darkwing Duck series comes to a close with Bushroot threatening the city and a Drake Mallard pinning for the good old days of crime-fighting being lured out of retirement.

Okay, so his plan doesn’t quite make sense, but there’s still plenty of fun to be had.
