Duck Comics Revue: "Old Froggie Catapult"
http://duckcomicsrevue.blogspot.com/2015/01/old-froggie-catapult.html
Musings on Classic (and not-so-classic) Duck Comics. Sunday, January 25, 2015. Great that IDW’s bringing back the classic comic books, eh? All I really know about IDW is that Popeye miniseries they did some time back. I didn’t think it was particularly good,. But that’s mainly because they were trying so hard to mimic Segar, and I think Segar is probably the least imitable cartoonist ever. Their heart. If I said this was Barks’ best the ducks adopt an animal story, I suppose I might get some. You can rea...

Duck Comics Revue: "The Menehune Mystery"
http://duckcomicsrevue.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-menehune-mystery.html
Musings on Classic (and not-so-classic) Duck Comics. Thursday, July 31, 2014. Man, my original plan was to go through the four issues of Uncle Scrooge that were issued as one-shots before it became it's own line- until I realized that, in fact, it was only three. The story makes a bad impression right from the start: this isn't the first time Scrooge has flat-out cheated his nephews ( eg. But to see it flouted so blatantly, so early on- man, I just don't like it. It irks me, especially as it's totall...

Duck Comics Revue: "The Voluntary Castaway"

Musings on Classic (and not-so-classic) Duck Comics. Tuesday, March 17, 2015. RIGHT You may or may not recall that I alluded a few times back in the fall to a new translation I was working on, but for then my computer died and even though I’d saved my work I was demotivated for whatever reason and nothing happened for a long time. Finally, however, I managed to push through and finish the damn thing, and here it is. Is this thing any GOOD? NOPE This is the next panel. Huh? Jules Verne’s Mysterious Island,.

(Some of) Ryan Wynns' Assorted Thoughts: New comic review: Donald Duck #2 (#369) (IDW, June 2015)
http://ryanwynns.blogspot.com/2015/07/new-comic-review-donald-duck-2-369-idw.html
Some of) Ryan Wynns' Assorted Thoughts. Thursday, July 30, 2015. 2 (#369) (IDW, June 2015). Blackout gag flavor. Still, with Donald taking up Gideon on his job offer at the story's beginning, I felt that Donald was stepping across the threshold on a Hero's Journey. and yet after all is said and done, it seems that we're supposed to take the idea of him ever being a successful investigative reporter as a joke. It's safe to say that this is decidedly NOT a "mastery story". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Some of) Ryan Wynns' Assorted Thoughts. Thursday, May 21, 2015. 2 (#406) (IDW, May 2015). With its first issue of Uncle Scrooge. IDW brought us to Italy. Our current stop. Is the resplendent Netherlands. With pirates, a haunted ship, a treasure hunt, “Shivers Me Timbers! 8221; sounds like stuff of a classic Carl Barks adventure, right? One could say it’s a fusion of different duck genres… but, really, it’s a duck adventure story, pure and simple . More on his work on the story below. Where two titans of ...

http://ryanwynns.blogspot.com/2015/05/new-comic-review-uncle-scrooge-1-405.html
Some of) Ryan Wynns' Assorted Thoughts. Sunday, May 10, 2015. 1 (#405) (IDW, April 2015). Despite the four-year interim and the change in licensee, Uncle Scrooge. Is pretty consistent with # 404. 404 in particular), further closing the gap, and bringing a certain level of reassurance to fellow fans who know them. Or does he just normally starve because he's so cheap? The best of Scarpa's art, with all its zest and zing, is brought out by the zing and zest of Gray's dialogue, which demonstrates that he kn...

Some of) Ryan Wynns' Assorted Thoughts. Thursday, July 30, 2015. 1 (#310) (IDW, June 2015). I didn’t realize that Casty had started only writing and not drawing some of his stories. Is that for scheduling reasons? Or because as he envisioned this story, it was in Cavazzano’s style? And either way, does it mean that a story he doesn’t both write and draw isn’t as much his baby? However, he did draw the cover:. But Mickey and Goofy prove worthy partners in her adventure, weathering its perils just as well:.
