I have nothing to add, just also confirming that the chat is working.
Though it's a shame I don't have anything more to say on the latest issue at this time.

[SPOILER] Speaking of names, I still really like "Gandersnatch the Great" as the name of the wizard who'd built that vault the Quackronomicon is sealed away in. It evokes "bandersnatch" from the poem "Jabberwocky", very appropriate here because it came from "Through the Looking-Glass", which also featured a strange world beyond a mirror. (Not the first time Greg Weisman's made use of that poem; I recall Adam Strange reciting it in Season two of "Young Justice".) The "Gander" part of his name matches the avian-themed names of "Darkwing Duck" - with the additional bonus that the first syllable is "Gand", which evokes a famous wizard. (That last part might have been just a coincidence, if a fortunate one - but I'm certain about the first two.) [/SPOILER]

[SPOILER] Man, I hope those Three Stooges names aren't canon, but I have a feeling they are. That's so goofy.

A few thoughts on #2.

[SPOILER] We now have names for the other two street thugs - and they also match the Three Stooges. (With the possibility of some small debate over whether they're canon, since it appears in an "apocrypha" story.)

Darkwing stuck "statue-sitting" was a very entertaining moment.

And now we get the jealousy moment for him towards Goliath - if brought about by one of Demona's spells. (I liked the touch of Elisa being aware of Demona's own jealousy towards her.)

When Darkwing referred to Goliath as a glorified "lawn gnome", I wondered whether that was a reference to the "Freakazoid" parody (probably the best-known take-off on "Gargoyles").

And, naturally, Gosslyn, in spite of Darkwing's precautions, gets into the adventure after all - leading to a big show-down with her and Demona at the cliffhanger.

It continues to be a very fun read. [/SPOILER]

Was waiting for the next issue to drop before commenting...and now it has!

[SPOILER] Yay! The obligatory misunderstanding leading to a fight between two heroes! Or at least a very short one that's easily resolved by holding someone up by the cape.

This was a short one that continues the humorous tone from the first issue. Actually, I'm a little disappointed that there's not as much story to this one. First issue introduces the hook and the characters to each other but this one feels like it's mostly bridging the opener with the new twist in the plot that will kick off the third issue. Not that there's anything wrong with this. Just wanted a little more.

Goliath being the straight man is nothing new, but what was surprising was Demona getting in on some of the comedic tone. Her new spell (I'll leave the proper translation to someone else or wait until I've had a chance to sleep) is basically glorified tickle torture with a name that wouldn't sound out of place in Dr. Strange. "Flogging Feathers of Flagellicus?" Why do I feel that Greg came up with that years ago and was just waiting for the right moment to use it?

Getting back to the obligatory conflict, I do like that it plays on DW's established insecurities and ego. Guy may be a hero but he hates being upstaged and doesn't like anyone hitting on his honey wumpus. And I have to give credit to Frank and Greg, the Green-Eyed Monster sounds like the kind of magical artifact that could exist in each of their respective universes. It looks like it only affects people with some established envy which is why it works so well on Darkwing and Demona. Considering how often Demona loves to use arcane artifacts to amplify her abilities or attack her assailants, it's a nice change when she finds out she's not immune to the very magics she employs. Hoisted by her own "canard" as it were.

But the game's not over and now it looks like we've traded one hostage for another. Though I pity Demona and her attempts to get Gosalyn to do anything cooperative.

A couple of little things: I like the tired tone from Morgana over Darkwing's antics, takes a lot of patience to date the Terror that Flaps in the Night. And DW? Goliath's voiced by Keith David, Morgana's allowed at least one "woof." One small detail I liked was that the comic remembered Archie communicates mostly through grumbling. It's the little touches. Oh, and who wants to guess that Gandersnatch's Riddle is actually something really mundane? [/SPOILER]

That's all for now, can't wait for issue 3!

Great observation love how you drew the clever parallels between the episodes’ humor and magical elements

Another thought I just had about #1 of the "Gargoyles"/"Darkwing Duck" crossover. [SPOILER] Naturally, a crossover with "Darkwing Duck" will bring the more comedic elements of "Gargoyles" to the surface to match "Darkwing"'s atmosphere. Probably the most comical episode in "Gargoyles" was "Vendettas", and we saw the parallels there - the pie-gun scene, obviously, and also Darkwing and Launchpad's "Big Apple" discussion (as I pointed out last week, "Vendettas" was the episode of "Gargoyles" that had Hudson puzzling over how New York got that nickname.

But there are some strong echoes of "The Mirror" here, which fits because that episode also had a very comedic atmosphere. Demona again uses a magical mirror (and this mirror is also named after a Shakespearean character) to capture another magic-worker, with Demona even referring to her capture of Puck as she chains Morgana up. (And Matt brought up last week the similarity between Titania's Mirror and Dromio's Mirror.) [/SPOILER]

It’s refreshing to see digital security and financial flexibility explained in such a balanced way. I recently organized similar insights and tools on cardhopebank, which could serve as a helpful reference for your audience.

Third.

And maybe in light of issue number 2 coming up so soon, perhaps I'll hold off commenting on issue 1, other than to mention that my shop did come through with it on schedule (though the clerk seemed a little confused about big ol' me getting a "Darkwing Duck" comic) and that it was as much of a delight as it should have been. Otherwise, I think anything I'd have to say has been said already.

First.

And #2 of the "Gargoyles"/"Darkwing Duck" crossover will be coming out this Wednesday after all, rather than getting delayed as a result of #1's delay, a pleasant surprise.
