But did we actually see Darkwing die? For that matter, was he actually called Darkwing in Stormbringer? Just before this scene, Dreadwind kept saying "my brother" and the TRU exclusive Silverbolt repaint is Darkwind (technically an alternate name for Dreadwing used in either Marvel #52 or 53, possibly because Hi-Test or Throttle couldn't remember it), I think Darkwing "died" at the hands of Disney lawyers.
They actually started a new Darkwing Duck comic last month, so I can't blame them, but it always seemed unfair to me since the REAL Darkwing debuted 3 years before that (admittedly great) cartoon.
I think the whole point of this Mosaic was to have Razorclaw do what couldn't be done in official canon, gouging his name into the rock in defiance of the great Mouse god that recently consumed their former universe, surpassing even Unicron.
I agree with whoever said this surpassed the issue it's based on. TF Ongoing hit the skids after the first arc ended, but this one really pissed me off because it treated characters from 1988, possibly my favorite year of the toyline, like gun fodder to be carelessly slaughtered just to create a feel of desperation.
The only reason I'm sticking with TFO is that the current arc, while horribly mischaracterizing Onslaught, seems to be based on 'Solar Adventure'...which horribly mischaracterized Reflector. Anyone planning a mosaic in the near future, please watch that title and 'Space Thunder Kids' for inspiration!
