This is an alternate ‘what if’ webcomic series about what could have happened after the end of the cartoon series ‘Darkwing Duck’. The initial concept is this: Darkwing Duck/Drake Mallard has been presumed dead for years. Gosalyn Mallard, his adopted daughter, has grown up into an energetic young teenaged woman of 17. She has been raised and taken cared by her new legal guardian, Launchpad McQuack-- old friend and used-to-be sidekick of DWD. With the death of her father, Gosalyn has taken up his old mantel and is now parading the streets as the new Darkwing Duck in his place. It’s her job to keep Saint Canard safe, while balancing homework and youthful escapades. What’s a teenager to do when there’s both a villain AND an exam on their shoulders?! Little does Gosalyn know, her life will be turned upside down once again as she discovers new info about her father’s death…
Insect enthusiasts Bugmaster and Lilliput teamup to pull the crime of a century. Unfortunately for them, Darkwing Duck has the drop on them– tending to put a stop to their lame plans.
Set within the future of the @darkwing-beyond comic.
Referencing this Batman comic cover.
After the rain comes sunshine, and after a long pass of silence comes a ray of hope. Soon @darkwing-beyond will return with the next chapter, bringing along new adventures.
‘Eheh... Would you believe we got permission first?’
‘As your father, young lady... I know you didn’t.’

Mica: We did it! A complete chapter, 43 pages long! And it only took 3 years. Now for the rest of it... O_O
Snark: It’s been nice to finally get to show you guys what we’ve been working on. While I’m used to writing stories, it became an interesting challenge with Mica to translate what I would usually do for narration into pacing. It was fun to go from writing a typical Darkwing Duck episode into the tone shift that we want our future chapters to hold. I hope you’re looking forward to what’s coming up as much as we are. ;)

Mica: This page didn’t completely follow my vision but probably as close as we are capable of hitting that with our current combined skill and experience. Still very happy with it^^
Mica: I’m really happy with the panel structure of this one! I was looking forward to drawing it since we came up with it like a year ago and here it is finally :D
Snark: Now THIS is my favorite page. Tick tock, Darkwing, tick tock.
UPDATE ANNOUNCEMENT!
We’ll be releasing the final pages for the prologue chapter in about a week!
From the 7-12th of July we’ll be releasing one page a day and finish the chapter with one more announcement.
Not much to be said on this page– just wanted to let you all know that this blog is still alive and kicking. Things are just a bit slow as we juggle priorities. The plan is to hold out on all upcoming pages and release the end of the chapter in one go. We hope you’ll enjoy the results.
