Super Daisy and Duck Avenger battle villains Spectrus and Zafire while Uncle Scrooge and the Beagle Boys try to escape from a villains’ compound through tunnels. The situation is dire, but Mickey Mouse is on the case trying to save the day. Will he arrive in time?

This story is all over the place. I can understand that it would be patronizing to assume that this comic book’s audience cannot follow a multi-threaded story, but the story has to be engaging at least. Here we have stumps of stories all mixed together not really moving forward. It’s like reading a bad soap opera as nothing ever gets resolve and there is no clear indication of where the story is going to. Ultimately, it was a painful read that failed to connect with this reader, whose attention span is much longer than the kids that are supposed to read this.

Visually, the designs are classic Disney and the characters move in and out of pages, always in that style. It was a pleasurable thing to see as the great penmanship one expects from a Disney product could easily have been sacrificed. The little reaction shots with the various forests animals were quite fun too.
