Guess what -- all your childhood favorites have returned for new adventures! The Disney Afternoon is BACK! ....in comic book form.

This shouldn't matter to you all that much. They move in your head.

After BOOM! Studios resurrected Darkwing Duck for a miniseries, preorder response was so great that it was changed into an ongoing title before the first issue even hit the market. Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers soon followed, and if success continues, more are sure to come. (Technically, DuckTales adventures are in print too, they're just folded under the Barksian titles like Uncle Scrooge. And that's just as well; it's what the show was based on.)

The new comics are definitely written for the generation that was watching them even though they have to be published under the "kids" label. If you have any sort of fond memories of these characters, you should be reading these. Besides, don't hold your breath for Disney themselves to bring them back -- this is the best we can get.

Do you think comic books are a lesser form of entertainment than animation? Who says? There was a time when the entire cast of the Disney Afternoon (minus the always-overlooked Gummi Bears) united in one giant crossover to confront a threat unlike any other they had ever faced -- and it only happened in the comics. It was called "Legend of the Chaos God" and it ran in Disney Adventures starting in July 1994, then September through December of the same year. Speculation is that it was meant to conclude in the fiftieth issue, but for whatever reason, delays happened and the final chapter ended up in issue 51.

Never read it? Read it a long time ago, but lost your issues and want to read it again? You're a lucky dog tonight. Here are all sixty-five pages!
