On March 13, 2010, [[BOOM! Studios]] announced that they would be releasing a four-issue ''Darkwing Duck'' miniseries, titled "The Duck Knight Returns", starting in June of that year. The series was written by Aaron Sparrow (uncredited), Ian Brill and drawn by James Silvani, and was set one year after the end of the show.<ref>[http://comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=25219 "ECCC: Whack, Smack! “Darkwing Duck” is Back"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100316054540/http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=25219 |date=March 16, 2010 }}.

Unlike the original show, the comic strengthened ''Darkwing Duck'''s ties to the parent show ''[[DuckTales (1987 TV series)|DuckTales]]'' and began to use a number of Carl Barks characters like [[Magica De Spell]] (allied to Negaduck in the second story) and cameoing [[Scrooge McDuck]] and Gyro Gearloose. A 4-part crossover story with Disney's ''[[DuckTales (1987 TV series)|DuckTales]]'', titled "Dangerous Currency", was released with parts 1 and 3 for ''DuckTales'' #5 and #6, and parts 2 and 4 for ''Darkwing Duck'' #17 and #18. The comic also made a lot of homages to other Disney shows: Magica's powered up form in #7 has emblems that reference film villains like Hades and Jafar, someone holds a sign saying "Bring Back [[Bonkers (American TV series)|Bonkers]]" in the background of #6, and #3 shows Launchpad tried to get a job with [[Gadget Hackwrench]] of the Rescue Rangers from ''[[Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (TV series)|Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers]]''.

The eighteenth issue, which shipped in October 2011, was the end of the series due to BOOM! Studios prematurely losing the Disney Comics license.<ref>[http://blog.newsarama.com/2011/08/05/booms-disney-era-officially-ends-in-october/ "BOOM's Disney Era Officially Ends in October"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111020061440/http://blog.newsarama.com/2011/08/05/booms-disney-era-officially-ends-in-october/ |date=October 20, 2011 }}. blog.NewsArama.com.
