Behold...THE JUSTICE DUCKS! An elite team of superheroes that battle crime in perfect...just kidding. They're actually a group of ducks (and a fish) that kinda/sorta work together sometimes, but Darkwing's got that whole "I work better alone!" vibe thing going on, so this issue answers the question...CAN Darkwing Duck bury his ego and work with a super-team!? (Spoiler: Probably not?)
Darkwing Duck #7 is a great story that spoofs classic superhero rivalries in a way that only Darkwing Duck can. There is still a lot of information that both the readers and the characters dont know yet, but it is fun to speculate. Hopefully there is a worthy threat for the entire team of the Justice Ducks to battle next issue! Read Full Review
DARKWING DUCK #7 deals a big blow to Darkwings ego and kicks off a new mystery surrounding a thief obsessed with sidekicks. DWs angst and bickering with Neptunia are amusing, and the mystery is intriguing, but the art lacks a polish, and DWs museum tour drags on too long. Read Full Review
As mentioned in earlier reviews, Dynamite's Darkwing Duck both exceeds and lags in its adherence to the original series, but this latest issue certainly tends to stray more into the former than the latter. Read Full Review

It's remarkable how short-lived the original cartoon was. The three-season series was largely a series of one-shot episodes. The patience given to a single issue of the comic book series feels roughly equivalent to a 22-minute episode of the series. So it feels a little bit indulgent to have a multi-part story for the comic book. Really, though...the fact that the series has been off the air for over thirty years makes ANY further exploration of the character feel at least a bit indulgent. Read Full Review
With this second arc we have what seems to be story centered around the Justice Ducks, the infamous "team" that had one memorable double episode in the original cartoon... and then wasn't seen again together in that show.
The potential was always there, and it seems that these next few issues will focus more intricately on their makeup and status as a team, while introducing a shadowy new figure with some conmrction to launchpad.
All of this is welcome, and the first half of this issue is a rather humorous humiliation of Drakes ego, but its capped off with him clashing yet again with Neptunia.
She's an underrated character from the original series, and I appreciate that the writer understood her dynamic wit more
