Duck Avenger New Adventures, Book 1

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been reading the German version of Duck Avenger, Phantomias, for a few years now and was very excited when my husband gave me this first book of the Duck Avenger’s newest stories in English for Christmas.

The art style is very modern compared to the older, almost classic, German Phantomias comics I am used to. The frames of each scene sometimes overlap, are not perfectly organized to fit only up to 6 frames per page, and therefore create a whole new reading experience that brings the story and the action much closer to the reader.

Donald/Duck Avenger is still his witty self, with some great come-back lines.

I don’t want to give too much away of the story, because the unraveling of the various twists was great fun and increased the anticipation of waiting for the next book.

Overall, this was a great read. I’m happy that Duck Avenger stories are still being created. This is an absolute must-read for all Donald Duck comics fans.
