Duck Comic Reading Club Week 15: Paperinik New Adventures: Urk

So, a week late, but here it is, the review of Urk. To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed. PK was on fire, but this issue extinguish it.

The first thing I notice is that this particular issue has the ugliest art yet.

I don't know what they were looking for. If it was nightmare fuel, they got it.

The story was also not that great, and I may be a little to mean, but is hard to not be harsh with Urk, because we just had Trauma, and everything in that issue was top tier.

Anyway, there have been kidnappings in the city, and no one seems safe.

PK is on the case, but he's as lost as the rest of Duckburg. In the mean time, he beat the hell out of the Elvis gang. That was my problem with Trauma, because PK beat him. The meanest, strongest Evronian ever, and PK beat him.

How in the blue hell could anyone else be a treath for PK? Those ugly bastards, fourth rate mobsters, have no chance.

Back in the tower, one poor employee fall into his doom, but his partner save him with some impressive moves.

What's the deal with the long ass hair? Why is that the look everyone decided to go?

Uno and Donald were impressed with the guy, and investigated him. Turned out that he was using a fake identity, what immediately make him a suspect.

PK paid him a visit, and they have their first encounter.

Urk won the round. That's comic magic, PK beat Trauma, now Urk beat PK. Is my fault to ask for logic. I should have know that, if the story needs to PK to lose against Dr. Fossil, to say a name, he's going to lose to Dr. Fossil.

Hey, is Rat from The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad.

Anyway, Lyla found out that Urk may be a chrononaut, like Raider. She joined PK in the search for the big duck. After a brief fight, in were Lyla had a wall falling on her, we learnt that Urk is not a bad guy.

Urk then tells his story. He lived in a different dimension and his community came into contact with an alien race who shared their knowledge with them.

Everything was nice and sweet until the vikings invaded.

Yes, Columbus, the biggest genocide "the new world" has ever known. I'm sure you would have liked it

Anyway, remember Day of the Cold Sun? When Raider activated his machine, the after blast brought Urk to PK's dimension. It also brought the vikings bio weapon, the creature.

PK and Urk join forces to defeat the beast.

The creature was the one who kidnapped all the people, to use them as lunch.

I get why they tried to do, going for an abstract form, but it didn't work. The creature is just a doodle.

PK shoot the creature, killing it.

The good guys win, and Urk now has to live in Duckburg.

This one goes into the I didn't like it basket.

We had some really good issues lately, in this one wasn't on their level, at all.

waaa I cant do backgrounds !!! 🤬

they're watching a movie I swear I just couldn't figure out how to do the lighting ndnsns

[uiuishii]

Ok I finished the... thing.

Listen, I know it's an adaptation, it's not suppose to be a transcription of the book (although they always say it will be). But there are huge problems.

I would say the one that shocked me the most is with women. Strong women. The reason reading the witcher was that fun and so inspiring. Here, these strong women are always dominated by a man. Geralt interrupts Yen, Dijsktra interrupts Philippa, Gallatin interrupts Francesca. There is always something like that (Radovid calling Philippa with sweet nickname like a boss of a fucking company with her secretary). I'm not dumb, I understand it's to show how women are treated badly in this terrible world and to justify the creation of the lodge. But the truth is, it's the case for random women not sorceresses. Sorceresses are the bosses of this fucking Continent. So why making them that weak? I remember reading about how they made kings shiver just by speaking, how they rule the country. And now you see a poor Philippa, at the corner of the table, who needs to whip Dijkstra to have power/a favor ? Philippa just have to glance at him and Dijkstra is on his knees. I swear this made me scream/laugh so hard.

This is for me the biggest issue. Of course there are many more: Cahir killing his friend and getting further and further of Book Cahir, Tissaia x Vilgefortz which makes Tissaia the exact opposite of her character, Margarita Laux-Antille A.K.A the sweetest sorceress slapping Ciri and being a bitch, Radovid being not Radovid (just call him another name please), Redania being isolated from the other countries for no reasons, Stregobor. Just Stregobor. And his Silent Hill monsters.

I watched the show with my polish friend and she was just sad seeing how it messed up with the book/the polish culture it is supposed to adapt.

I'm worried for part 2 but I will watch. Why ? I want to know how badly they mess with my favorite characters honestly. (Waiting for Tissaia and Philippa moments)

This is just my opinion by the way. If you enjoyed the show I'm glad you had a great time !

There’s a fanfic I really wanna read, but it’s surprisingly weird to read Good Omens fanfic after looking DT in the eyes not even 24h ago.

i have a lot of questions about urk to be honest. why does he look like that. why does he randomly rip his shirt off sometimes. why does he wear blue jeans. why does he look ready to play zarahemnah in a 1996 book of mormon short film.

Well, I have a new computer that has not immediately developed a fault like the last one. Now I get to eye up all the things I haven't been doing because trying to Do Things via a mobile device feels like trying to knit wearing oven gloves and quail at the sight.
