Some thoughts on DuckTales and Back To The Future, out this week from IDW
DuckTales #4
The adventures of Duckburg’s most famous citizens continue! First, Scrooge and company find themselves stuck in Happy, Happy Valley, where everyone is a little too happy! Then, can Huey, Louie and Dewey overcome the Curse of the Twin Samurai (and maybe make a little money too)?
An early morning kickoff for the family in this issue and some aren’t happy about this at all in Happy, Happy Valley! It’s a weird tale with a moral at the end of it too. The Happy happy valley is just a little too much as the gang seem to be trapped on the island with no escape. There’s a reason for it all though and I like the build up in it all!
Fight! is just the boys with a yard sale gone wrong. I could see the set up coming, but the cursed helmet was a good story!
Back To The Future #25
‘TIME SERVED, FINALE!’ Endings and beginnings! As the first volume of the smash hit series races to a close in this oversized final issue, Marty uncovers the last secret of Jailbird Joey Baines-while Doc Brown and family prepare for an all-new adventure!
The final issue of the ‘Time Served’ arc! This issue wraps everything up really well, with Doc, Marty and the Professor working many issues out. I liked this issue a lot, things were explained and made sense and it finished off the volume , the issue and the arc really well.
I really enjoy the art style of this series and this issue, with the colouring in the eras and locations working really well.
