Duck Comic Reading Club Week 14: Paperinik New Adventures: Trauma
Another great issue for this week. PK has been great lately. Let's get into the comic right away.
This time, the story begins with the Evronians, most precisely, with Gorthan. He's a branch-captain visiting an Evronian prison.
There is a bit of commotion, with an attempted mutiny, but the situation is rapidly handed by the Evronians in charge.
This is the only problem I have with this particular issue. The Evronians, in outer space, are a fearsome force. A race of soldiers that can overcome any obstacle. But in Earth? We'll see.
Gorthan is in the prison because he needs to meet with one particular prisoner. The one who gives his name for this issue, Trauma.
This is an amazing reveal, he's blasted right into your face. You can see how massive Trauma is compare with others of his kind.
Gorthan is there to offer Trauma a deal. It seems like Trauma was imprisoned because he was to dangerous, even for the Evronians standar.
PK has been a big trouble for the Evronians, and now they're not taking any more chances.
And now that I mention him, let's see what's PK doing.
It looks like Duckburg resident superhero is having nightmares. Poor Donald, let him sleep all night for once.
Since that's not an option anymore, PK went to patrol the city.
And, then, the weirdest PK's page ever.
I swear, I thought we were on the prison planet again, because, what the hell?
We have a gang of Elvis impersonators, and also a gang of Monty Python's Life of Brian fans. Imagine the odds for this two groups to even exist. Amazing.
By the way, what's with the Elvis thing? In Darkwing Duck was also a villain whose theme was Elvis. I don't know, I guess Disney dislikes the man. I like A Little Less Conversation, but… I don't know… is weird man…
Anyway, PK beats the gangs, and the guy who was saved by him, runs away from PK. And later that rat tail SOB goes to professional hater Angus Fangus and claims PK is a criminal.
This city doesn't deserve PK.
But, let's waste no more time, is time for the fight we were promised.
Trauma has arrived and immediately makes an impact. The fear in Angus and the police's faces are palpable.
PK comes to the rescue and what we have next is the best action sequence so far in this run.
PK is throwing everything he has on Trauma, but is useless. The giant Evronian is an unstoppable force.
And the worst thing has yet to come.
Trauma launches his most powerfull atack, not to the body but to PK's mind.
The pain PK is suffering right now, you and I can feel it. You can tell, he's living an agony.
Thankfully, One takes over the Duckmovil and saves him.
But PK lost. And thanks to Angus, everybody know it. PK ran away, because he was scared.
But PK is a hero, so round two is not far away. And this time, PK has an ace up his sleeve.
HOLY COW!
PK went full Lt. Ripley in Aliens.
Some would say he went Hulkbuster but I like Aliens way more than Age of Ultron.
We were gifted with one more awesome fight, that ends with PK taking another trip to Trauma Town.
Now we know what's PK seeing in those attacks.
Turns out, 35 years old Donald is being bullied by some 40 year old dude. I know, it supposed to be in his youth years, but look at them. That flashback happened yesterday.
Trauma attack was supposed to be definitive. This was PK end.
The most feared word of bullies, no. The word the weak speaks when is tired of the abuse. The word Trauma has never heard his enemies say.
Also, this is the best double page we have had so far. You could frame this and hanged on your wall.
Trauma had made a career inflicting fear in his enemies. To be confronted was new, terrible, fearful. And he couldn't take it. Trauma rans away, and PK is victorious.
That was what Trauma and the Evronians can't understand. PK is not a hero because he can't feel fear. He's a hero because, even in fear, he steps up to do what is right.
How can you not get hyped up by this?
This was amazing. The issue was packaged with action and emotion. I mention before how the Evronians are so powerful outer space, but they can't beat PK. They just can't. Not even their strongest warrior.
I don't know what's going to be next for this comic.
For now, I'm just going to enjoy it.
