Darkwing Duck: Crisis on Infinite Darkwings

Crisis on Infinite Earths is one of the most notable crossover events ever created by any publisher. The yearlong epic gave us the memorable cover of Superman carrying a dead Supergirl and was the first of an unofficial three-part trilogy (alongside Identity Crisis and Final Crisis). Enough crazy crisis backstory for you? Good, because none of it will help you understand the upcoming Darkwing Duck: Crisis on Infinite Darkwings, other than perhaps you can clearly see where BOOM! got the inspiration for the title.

Written by Ian Brill and illustrated by James Silvani, Darkwing Duck: Crisis on Infinite Darkwings features Darkwing Duck facing off against an army of twisted Darkwings under the control of Negaduck and Magica De Spell.

“It's more Darkwings than you'll know what to do with!” says BOOM! Studios Marketing Director Chip Mosher. “The Darkwing dynamic duo of Ian Brill and James Silvani truly outdid themselves in this arc, combining action, hilarity and not to mention a metric ton of Easter eggs all throughout. This is a volume Darkwing and comics fans alike need to get!”

The TPB collects Darking Duck #5-8 and ships this April for $14.99. Full press release after the jump.
