My boy enjoyed me reading this to him (he loves both versions of DuckTales) but by making the collected editions smaller than the comics means you really have to strain your eyes to read some of the text.

Just about perfect.
This is so much fun. This is exactly what I wanted from a book based on the modern reboot, it feels like they worked with the show writers to get the feel of the characters.
It's very fun and this one focused mostly in Donald and the Triplets before they moved in with Scrooge, going from place to place with Donald working odd jobs, which is the situation in the first episode of the show.
This is just a very fun and funny book, I absolutely loved it.

Being in the process of watching the Ducktales reboot with my family, this was a fun little romp with Donald and the boys to add to the experience.

I have read this comic for the 2020 reading challenge.
For those who like comics and Donald Duck, then you’ll love this, the illustrations where amazing and the text was easy to follow and read. Perfect for comic book lovers but not for me.
I gave 2🌟 because personally I can’t stand reading comic books in general, they just don’t hold my interest at all. If it wasn’t for the reading challenge prompt I would not have ventured in to the comic book genre. Although I am a big Disney fan and wanted to opt for a comic book that I would find about characters that I have an interest in and duck tales was the one that hit the spot. But this comic has just reconfirmed my dislike for this genre in general and I am extremely unlikely to venture in to this genre again.

3.5 stars. The stories were fine, although a tad bit lackluster compared to the reboot series. I am also unsure how I feel about the reapting storytelling pattern (by which I mean that how the stories are told is the same, not the stories themselves). I didn't like how Scrooge and Della treated Donald in their adventures, and I just did not understand what was happening in "A Viking at my door". Otherwise I was very happy to get more Ducktales content with Donald being an overprotective dad, the triplets stirring up trouble, and Della being Della (I'm so starved for Della content you have no idea).

The stories from issue #0-1 are cute and fun, but predictable and all a bit similar. I'd rate these three and a half to four stars. The stories from issue #2, however, are fun adventures very reminiscent of Barks' adventure comics (with a modern twist, of course). I'd give these five stars. Overall, this is a fun set of stories for Duck fans of any age, and while it takes place in the universe of the 2017 show it doesn't necessarily tie into any episodes, so you can read this without an in depth knowledge of the show.

I am a fan of the old school DuckTales and perhaps even more a fan of the reboot. I usually do not take that stance on reboot of nostalgic cartoons I grew up with, but this show has a stellar cast and ups the adventure and comedy. This volume was fun and represented the show pretty well, yet was a far cry from how great the show actually. That being said, I will read the next two volumes since I borrowed all three from the library. I got these for my kids since we watch together and it seems these are a good match for my 10 year olds, but I can recommend to DuckTale fans of all ages.

Whether this is canonical to the show or not i just want to say i really enjoy the story, especially with how it's trying to tell us about Donald and the triplets' life before they moved in to the mansion. I've read somewhere on Frank Angones' tumblr ask where he said something about the base of the triplets' personality somehow connected to them growing up in a lower income household, and also watching Donald struggle to find a stable job. I just think this prequel comic here managed to capture that idea pretty well. Also it's fun to just see the triplets doing their things :)

Mildly entertaining comic based on the new DuckTales cartoon. I bought this because I like the new DuckTales show more than I thought I would, so I thought I'd try the comic.
It's pretty good, for what it is. Short adventure stories with the new versions of the duck characters. Not as good as the cartoon. (And nowhere near as good as the classic duck comics from Barks or Don Rosa.)

Six comics featuring characters from the Ducktales reboot: four stories about Donald trying to remain employed while keeping Huey, Dewey and Louie out of mischief; and two stories of Donald, Della and Scrooge's adventures.
A short, fun, all-ages comic collection. Be warned that the text is a bit small.

I don't know how to feel about this since at this point there isn't an overarcing story and I couldn't tell you where in the show this fits. It's just filler. Cute ideas that don't affect the show. I don't know that i want to invest time in it in that case. I just don't know. I definately need to think about it.

The only complaint was the size of the print. You might need a magnifying glass to read this - but other than that the stories were fun and keeping in tradition with the cartoon. Donald Duck is my favorite.

Cute stories. I liked spending time with Donald and the boys pre-Scrooge and I enjoyed more time with Della. If you’re like me and loved the reboot and wanted so more adventures, then this is a fun, fast little read.

Cute, but very repetitive. Also, poor poor Donald.

A fun and quick read for anyone who is a Disney fan!

Not quite as good as the tv show. A few little things bothered me (aluminium is not magnetic!), but other than that, a short, sweet little trip around the world with our favourite ducks.

No real storyline here - was hoping it would match up to the new TV series.

Fun short reads if you're a fan of the reboot, which I definitely am.

Great introduction to the universe of the 2017 cartoon. Solid art and gags, couldn't ask for more.

Not Bad, Not Outstanding
Clean humor for kids. Was not the worst or cheesiest out there, but definitely not the best either. Would recommend on trips,though just to kill time.

One of my favorite cartoons growing up. I absolutely loved this series and the movies.
Big Trouble 2 stars
Screaming Duck 3 stars
Lighthouse 2 stars
Washing Machine 2 stars
Had a Chicken 3 stars
A Viking at my Door 1 star
Some of the speech bubbles are tiny. I don't understand the reasoning behind red speech bubbles with yellow font. I would've preferred one long story to multiple short stories with similarly odd endings.

--Review of volumes 1 and 2--
GIVE ME MORE DUCKTALES!
These volumes follow the continuity of the 2017 television show but you don’t need to watch the show to read the books or vice versa. Joe Caramagna and Joey Cavalieri do a good job telling stories both before and after Huey, Dewey, and Louie are present without giving away any spoilers about Della Duck and her character. I LOVE that but the fangirl in me is a little unsatisfied—always wanting more of the story and background for the characters, but that’s just me.
The first half of Volume 1 follows Donald Duck, and Huey, Dewey, and Louie as Donald searches for employment, moving from one job opening to the next. The second half of Volume 1 jumps back in time to a few adventures of Donald, Uncle Scrooge, and Della before the boys were born. Volume 2 does this also but reversed.
Thoughts
There’s definitely a contrast between the stories of before and after Huey, Dewey, and Louie. To me the “after” felt more like the show and the “before” felt more like the original Ducktales/Scrooge McDuck comics. At first I thought that was just because the boys were part of the story. But I think formula is more of the reason.
The past stories involving Della always begin with a foreword showing Donald in some kind of unfortunate state (shrunken tiny, baked into a cookie, etc.) followed by a flashback explaining how it happened. The “present” stories involving the triplets don’t do this. I don’t know, something about it really divided the tone for the two timelines.
There was also something about Donald Duck’s attitude in the Della stories that I really didn’t like.
I get that he “gets stuck with all the bad luck”—it’s Donald Duck’s thing. But he kept blaming Della for every mishap he found himself in and was constantly annoyed with every location they went to. In the show, Webby describes past Donald as one of “the most daring adventurers of all time,” but he is pretty much the exact opposite in these comics. I get that it’s supposed to be a continuous gag for the comedy, but did they have to make him so mean? He acts like he absolutely hates Scrooge, Della, and adventuring (for those who have seen the show, that’s even before the you-know-what happened giving Donald good reason for his feelings).
I guess it makes sense that having to take care of his sister’s kids would bring his temperament WAY down—because, you know, kids and having responsibility changes a person. He still has a temper and actually has a reason to hate Scrooge by then, but is much more of a family man and constantly looking to do right by the boys.
These comics were super cute and I just can’t get enough of the art style! I really look forward to reading both more of this series and exploring the original Scrooge McDuck comics. I’ll forever be a Duck Fan.
