PKNA - Adventures of the Duck Avenger

The Return

It's official, guys. The Duck Avenger is returning.

I'll just go ahead and quote forum user Lyla's brief translation:

"It basically says that De Poli announced it publicly during the Napoli Comicon. It'll apparently return through Topolino.
If there were still any doubts, now there aren't anymore."

Now, Topolino is of course a more standard Disney format than PKNA was, so who knows, we might not see the return of PKNA's epic-looking page lay-outs, but what we ARE likely to see the return of is a lot of the people who worked on PKNA and made it a thing we love.

So yes.

This is awesome.

If anybody has any more details, feel free to share them in the comments. Or just gush about the possibilities/share your dread about what they might do. Either way - this should be interesting!

Metamorphosis - the Motion Comic

Edit: Banker has now added a POLL to help him decide on his next project. Details below the links.

Second edit: Superduck comics (a.k.a. PK- Pikappa or PK3) are now available on Comixology in several new countries. Check it out!

Just when it seemed to be pretty dead around here - Banker returns with a generous helping of awesome. It's here, people.

Metamorphosis - the Motion Comic

Yes, it is awesome. Fully voice-acted, 40+ minutes, and Banker is only improving his craft.
Go watch it, and if you haven't already, check out his LAST motion comic as well: Fragments of Autumn.

THE POLL: Before taking on his next project, Banker has asked everyone to give their own opinion: If Banker was gonna do more motion comics, which issues would you MOST want to see get that treatment? The poll can be found HERE, so make sure to go and vote for your favorites!

If there's anything I've forgotten, feel free to remind me in the comments and I'll edit it into this post. Carry on!

Some very, very exciting rumours

My apologies for going AWOL again. I blame real life, internet connectivity issues, and other feeble excuses. Sorry.

So, what's new? (I here define 'new' as something I haven't mentioned on the front page before, but which has been on the forum for ages. Yeah, I know.) And WELL.

The Duck Avenger is stirring, people! We're mostly dealing with rumours and loose quotes, but the general idea is this: The PKNA universe may be returning. And NOT just as reprints. Presumably in a different format than we're used to, but STILL!

There's a thread over on the forum discussing it, which can give you a few more details. Give it a read. This covers about all I know as well, but I'm looking forward to hearing more.

In other news: There's a new update over on Banker's website, Bankin' the Duck! This time it's 'Shadows on Venus' that he tears lovingly to shreds. Oh, and there's some adult fanfiction there as well, because this is Banker.

What else? Oh yeah, GERMANS! Check out this thing:

I'm just gonna quote Yoshi:

In the next LTB Premium, issue 4, Germans get a chance to get some more Duck Avenger content. Issues five to eight will be featured in this issue, also there will be all-new German translations of two more Konrad Kiwi episodes and the PKNA Special 1997. More information here:

And THAT should cover it. Apologies again, and MOTHER OF GOD, THERE MIGHT BE NEW STORIES WITH THE DUCK AVENGER!

Christmas with the Duck Avenger!

Rapid updates to make up for the long absence. Don't forget to scroll down (or click here!) to see the classic stories that Blotling and Yoshi have translated, if you didn't see them yesterday!

Ah, 'tis the season. Banker returns with with some new, beautiful re-edited versions PKNA #13 and #14. Those were the only issues of PKNA that nobody on this site ever touched, because they'd already been done over at an older site, years ago. There were some discrepancies, though. The Avenger is just called Paperinik, and the font has never looked quite right to me. So I think it's awesome to have a remake made.

So here, ladies and gentlemen, just in time for Christmas, is the new, Banker-ized version of the classic Christmas story:

PKNA#13 - The Darkest Night

And hey, the other one's topical too. At least it was yesterday when Banker first uploaded it, according to half the people I know on Facebook: It's about the end of the world.

PKNA#14 - Carpe Diem

Finally, there's good news for PiKappa fans from CERTAIN parts of the world at least: Comixology.com has apparently started to feature Superduck comics at least in Greece. For the Greek, you can check out this link: http://www.comixology.com/Superduck/comics-series/9744

That link probably won't work for anyone else (it doesn't in Denmark at least), but you can always give it a try (or try searching for 'Superduck' on Comixology) and let us know whether there's anything to be found. It's always interesting to try to figure out if there are other countries where it's available.

Merry Christmas!

Classic stories by Yoshi and Blotling

And finally an update on the main page! I am so sorry for my absence - and I especially apologize to Blotling, who finished second part of "The Salvation of the Duck Avenger" (now retitled "The Duck Avenger Strikes Back") a frickin' MONTH ago, but I've somehow overlooked it in the comics. And then real life and finals happened, and I've generally been a bit of a klutz.

In the meantime, Yoshi has finished another old-school Duck Avenger adventure: "The Duck Avenger versus The Contaminator". So if you haven't been checking the comments, here's some sweet new stuff for ya:
