Today on the St Canard Files we're revisiting a classic Disney Adventures Darkwing comic as only Aaron Sparrow and James Silvani could retell it.

The Darkwing Files is our framing device as Darkwing reminisces about his first encounter with the villainous pussycat of peril,...

That isn't a fly in the ointment you're hearing - it's the return of Tiffany Silver Braun! On today's episode we're talking about "A Midsummer Gnat's Spree" (Joe Books #4) where Darkwing goes up against Gnatmare, his most powerful enemy ever! In this enjoyable one-shot story, we get lots of cartoon violence, a few Disney references and guest appearances by Steelbeak and Megavolt. Could this be one...

With Boom's Darkwing Duck series behind us, we're ready to jump into Joe Book's (sadly) short-lived comic version of the terror that flaps in the night!

We have the return of Negaduck, some BBQ fun with th...

Is Scrooge ever going to ta...

Join Will, Tiffany and Mike as we take the clues and find the ways and whys and who's. Because we're getting together for a special Flashquack to talk about the cameo crazy Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers Disney+ movie. What did we think of it? What were our favorite references and cameos? Is this a worthy Roger Rabbit successor? Is the Sweet Pete controversy valid? And what about Darkwing? So whethe...

Mike and Tiffany are back! And they're bringing in Stan Lunn to help them talk about the divisive (and extremely non-canon) "Dangerous Currency", the long awaited Ducktales/Darkwing Duck crossover. In part 1 (Boom Ducktales #5) Fenton reappears, some familiar bad guys get major makeovers and everyone learns everyone else's secret identity. Yeah, we didn't like that either. Additionally, Mike discu...

Let's get slanderous! In "The Ballot of Darkwing Duck & Launchpad part 1" (part 3 of "Campaign Carnage", Boom #15) a new villain named Suff-rage arrives on the scene, along with a not-so-popular classic Ducktales character.

The "FOWL Disposition" story arc confusingly concludes in issue 12 of Boom's Darkwing Duck comic and of course we're here to talk about it. Several beloved characters become calamari, Darkwing wears his dual life on his sleeve (literally) and Duckthulu finally rises.
