The final in the Darkwing Duck comics brings in characters from Ducktales. As they tried to wrap everything up, it just became too rushed. Not their fault since their contract was canceled, but still not as fun to read as it could have been.

If there was ever a book that hinted that the series was about to come to an end, this was it.

Well that was… anticlimactic to say the least. Super rushed and weird character choices that dont feel right and I will never be reading that again…

This book collects the final two issues of Boom Studios Dark Wing Duck and Duck Tales comics. Dangerous Currency seeks to do a lot of things including being a crossover between Darkwing Duck and Duck Tales, tie up all the loose ends in the Darkwing Duck series (none really remained from the poorly written Duck Tales series), and fill in a few plot holes (i.e. how did Gizmo Duck's suit end up in St. Canard and whatever happened to Fenton Crackwell.) The book succeeded all counts, but the results don't live up to the high standards of the prior Darkwing Duck comics.
There are too many characters running around and we really lose track of everyone other than Darkwing and Scrooge in the adventure. The whole plot doesn't seem ideal for this sort of legendary team up with the enemy being slime. The big reveal about Agent 44 in the final issue was disappointing. The way Darkwing defeats the baddie is also a bit weak and contrived. The whole story seems very rushed.
Still, the story does have good moments, particularly when Scrooge and Darwking grab a moment to talk in the midst of the madness. The best moment for that is when Darkwing insists that he has a domestic life (which Goslin is part of) and a superhero life where he 's on his own. Scrooge will have none of it and tells him, "No, you have a life." Beyond this, if they aren't well-developed, it's great to see so many great childhood favorites in this book. There were some good ideas in the plot. They just needed a lot more time to develop them like six issues instead of four, but this may have been due to the expiration of Boom Stuidos license with Disney.
In the end, Boom did the best they could. They gave us a team up that people waited two decades for. It's just unfortunate, they couldn't given us a longer and better developed story.

An entertaining finale for the Darkwing Duck and DuckTales comics, this teams together the casts of both cartoons against an appropriately major threat - the alliance of their biggest foes! There's cool stuff for fans in here, including some neat DuckTales cameos ("Agent 44" especially) and some interesting upgrades for the Darkwing villains. However, the story suffers a bit from packing so much in compared to previous volumes, and the last section wraps things up too quickly and neatly... but there's enough done well that it can be forgiven. (B+)

I loved this series! Darkwing Duck is a great character, he is very dynamic but there are also a lot of comedic aspects thrown in which make the story more interesting.
