While we subsist in an age ofsuperhero manic disorder , Archie Comics ’ feat in Riverdale have managed to bide comparatively remote from the spandex - clothe hype — much more content to dabble withwitches , wolfman , vampires , and the most antic topic of all , high - school drama . But they ’re run to riff on it by bringing back a classical quality from its archive , with a winding .
Super Duck first stumble shelf back in the ‘ 40 as a lighthearted pastiche of hoagy of the Golden Age of comic like Superman — but now he ’s back , and not only have superheroes changed , so has Super Duck , with his new series giving us a more adult - orient take on the eccentric .
pen by Frank Tieri and Ian Flynn , and with art by Ryan Jampole , Matt Herms , and Jack Morelli , the new Super Duck sees our titular hoagie fallen on hard meter after a tenacious career atomise bad guys with laser eye - blasts and punch up his archrival , the sinisterbillionaireDapper duck’s egg . Three old age after hanging up his cape though , Super Duck ’s epic activity have boiled down to making a nimble buck signing autographs at comic conventions — until a former rival of Dapper Duck draw close him with a dangerous bodyguard offering , lead to him picking the cape up again for all the unseasonable reasons .

“ Super Duck has been a play property to revitalize , ” Flynn told io9 entirely over email . “ I think folks who are used to my all - eld piece of work will be surprised how much more adult this task turned out . There ’s a pot of physical comedy and big , blockbuster action in the first issue thanks to the brilliantly talented art team of Ryan Jampole and Matt Herms . From there we ’ll be stick to Super Duck ’s astonishing , stumbling convalescence from his fall from grace . ”

While the four - part miniseries is set primarily in a present where Super Duck himself is out of the hero biz , the serial want to leaf on cape comics in more ways than just its hero ’s unrelenting fall from blessing . “ This rendition of Super Duck takes its inspiration from the original Golden Age comics but decidedly plots its own course , ” Flynn continued . “ Each story will have a fillip retro - styled story to poke a petty fun at a very dissimilar era of comics . ” you’re able to see a little more of what to wait beyond that in our exclusive trailer of Super Duck # 1 below !
This novel , adult - oriented approach to Super Duck marked a bit of a change from Flynn ’s common oeuvre for Archie , but create a mutually beneficial partnership in teaming up with fellow Archie loyalist Frank Tieri as co - author . “ Frank ’s been the skipper of this ship , ” Flynn said of his partner . “ He plotted out the history and he put his spin on the scripts once I ’ve taken the first toss at them . He also keeps most of my trick , so he ’s a stand - up guy rope ! ”
“ What Ian said . particularly the part about me being a stand up guy . I really am , kids ! No , really , ” Tieri facetiously added over electronic mail . “ Ya know , you would n’t think we ’d be able to mesh our two sensibilities — he ’s an ‘ all eld ’ guy cable and I ’m very much not — but we somehow really made this whole crazy ducking thing work . ( That ’s right . There ’s a set of duck joke . dodge off if you do n’t like it . ) ”
As you might be able to tell by our newspaper headline , we definitely do n’t mind a silly duck - swear put-on or six . And Super Duck seems like it ’s going to deliver heavily on that front if this preview is anything to go by . “ It especially helps when you have endowment like Ryan and Matt in your corner , art fresh , ” Tieri note . “ [ They ] really got the joke and even tot up to them , producing an ending consequence where the temper ’s more Deadpool than Donald , but still has the DNA of the classic persona . In short , a ducking good time will be had by all , people ! ( Ok , I ’ll block up now . ) ”
If you do n’t need the good times to lay off roll , Super Duck # 1 hits shelf March 25 — or if you ’re doing duck’s egg all this weekend , you may head on down to your local amusing book shop ( notice it hereif you ’re unsure ! ) and preorder a written matter before cutoff end on March 1 .
