"People Who Want to Beat You," in Darkwing Duck (vol. 2) #1, by Aaron Sparrow and James Silvani (storytellers), Andrew Dalhouse (colorist), Andworld Design (letterers)
Five years after the previous volume ended, Darkwing got another series, this time written by the character's creator, Aaron Sparrow, with James Silvani still handling the artist duties.
The previous volume ended, in Brill's version, with Darkwing rescuing his girlfriend Morgana from some other dimension she wound up in while banishing Duckthulu, but also bringing Negaduck back in the process. Well, Negaduck's here, but Morgana's MIA, so I guess that was at least one of the differences in opinion Brill and Sparrow had.
This one starts off with the classic "face a gantlet of all your foes" story when Darkwing ends up trapped in the new high-security prison. Which is all part of some larger plan Negaduck has. A larger plan we never learned anything more about. After the first four issues, there was a one-off about fighting an immensely powerful gnat, what was basically a remastered version of a story from the old Disney Adventures magazine, and a two-parter about zombie vegetables. Then the series ended, and that was that. So it goes.
