If they made a series 2 of figures and therefore could make a series 3, I think this would have made a good line-up:
I know that the first comic book storyarc took place a year after the events of the original series. Is there anything in the first storyarc that would affect continuity for future storyarcs, or does it seem like future comics will look as if they were regular episodes? I guess there could be Muppet Show Comic Book-style storyarcs where each storyarc is themed and the issues are self-contained, but I think a Darkwing Duck comic book could work either way.
But if they are all four-issue storyarcs, I wonder if there'll be more villian pairings than on the series, or if we'll have to wait every four issues for another villian to appear in the comic. I know that the first storyarc includes the Fearsome Five and Tarus Bulba (do any other recurring villians appear?).
There were many interesting villians on the show, but most of Darkwing Duck's villians didn't function as a "family" or group, like the Muppets did. Most villians functioned seperately from each other. Aside from the Fearsome Five, occasional pairings between Megavolt and Quackerjack outside of the Fearsome Five, and Tarus Bulba appearing with FOWL at the beginning of The Steerminator (and I don't know if that should count... I consider that a sequel to the first episode, he rejects workign for FOWL, and feel like even though Tarus would have returned if the show wasn't cancled, I see him as more of a Sideshow Bob-type recurring character... A glorified one-shot), we never got pairings between villians who didn't normally work together, or multiple seperate villians causing trouble at the same time.
It would have been cool to see maybe an episode begin with Darkwing battling one recurring villian and then taking on a different villian for the main plot. And it would have been cool to see such one-shot pairings as Negaduck and Steelbeak, or Bushroot and Megavolt (outside of the Fearsome Five), or Quackerjack and Tuskernini. I'm sure those could happen in the comics.
There are a number of episodes I've seen that could have invovled multiple recurring villians working seperately. Duck Blind and A Duck By Any Other Name are two episodes that should have had more villians. I know that villians were occasionally mentioned or referenced in episodes they didn't appear in; In "A Revolution in Home Appliances", when Gosalyn tells Darkwign she has a crime for him to solve (referring to wanting him to find her missing guitar), Darkwing asks if he's after Steelbeak or Tuskernini. In "The Quivering Quack" a picture of Megavolt is shown when Darkwing shows Negaduck that he's arch enemey number 2 after Dr. Slug (Megavolt being number 3). And in Adopt-a-Con Tuskernini commits crimes disguised as Megavolt and Bushroot.
