This is really interesting, plus i'm a fan of donald duck and Paperinik (although named Stálönd here in Iceland, or Steelduck) If you got some more info and speculations please do post it here. :)
I'm going to check if i can find this comic anywhere online (legally or illegally) when I return home.
: Ok, I've recollected myself a bit.
: The first three issues of the comic (#0, #0/2 and #0/3) introduce the main
: characters and storylines.
: #0 is set in present-day Duckburg, where Scrooge has bought Ducklair Tower, a
: 150-storeys skyscraper whose proprietor and builder, Everett Ducklair, was
: a millionaire inventor who disappeared under mysterious circumstances.
: Donald is forced to become the tower's warden (until his uncle manages to
: sell back or rent most of it) and discovers an anomaly between the 149th
: and the 150th floors. During a night patrol as Paperinik (Donald's alter
: ego as a superhero), he manages to enter the tower from the top and finds
: itself in the 151th floor (1+5+1=...), where he is greeted by a
: "green" coloured AI, Uno ("One"), which introduces
: itself as the supervisor for Ducklair Tower (which still contains most of
: Everett Ducklair's inventions and technologies). Uno soon becomes PK's
: advisor and guide, as well as an essential support in PK's operations (for
: instance, it gives PK its main weapon, the Extransformer shield) against
: the many enemies and perils he has to face during the story. It is Uno,
: for example, that tells PK about Evronians and Xerbians, the two most
: important alien races plotwise. Evronians are a sort of vampires: they
: absorb emotive and intellective energies from the species they subdue via
: Evronguns, weapons that look a bit like a blend of a fusion pistol and an
: assault rifle (as soon as I manage to scan some pages I'll talk about the
: artwork). Their social structure is hive-like, quite rigid and
: biologically determinated: they have got castes, the members of the lower
: castes are mostly soldiers and technicians, while the upper castes are
: formed by generals and scientists, above all is the Imperial Council and
: the Emperor. They try to conquer every race they meet and those whose
: energies are absorbed become Coolflames, zombie-like slaves. Earth is
: their current objective.
: Xerbians are a people of scholars and researchers long subdued by Evronians.
: There is only one known survivor, a female scientist by the name of
: Xadhoom who was doing experiments with the system's sun when her planet
: was invaded. Her experiments turned her into a humanoid star, an almost
: unstoppable living weapon, and she devoted her life to the destruction of
: Evron. She meets PK in issue #0/3. At the end of the series, she is
: reunited with her people and turns into a sun to allow them to start life
: anew.
: In #0/2 the other main element of PKNA's plot is introduced. PK inquires on a
: series of seemingly impossible thefts, and discovers the responsible to be
: the "Razziatore" ("Plunderer"), a 30% cyborg time
: traveling smuggler from the 23rd century, in whose capture and arrest is
: helped by Lyla Lay, a "female" droid from the 23rd century Time
: Police, who works under cover as a journalist for Channel 00 (which has
: its offices in the Ducklair Tower).
: From this point on PK will occasionally be involved with time travels and the
: Razziatore (for example when the latter tries to steal a device to travel
: between alternate realities).
: In #2 a new character is introduced, Due ("Two"), Uno's backup
: copy, whose long inactivity led him to develop a sense of jealousy towards
: its twin. At a certain point (issue #8), after trying to get hold on a
: litter of evronites (the larval, bulb-like stadium of Evronians) he seems
: to be destroyed in an Evronian assault, but actually it has escaped on
: their ship. And later on (#30) he tries to manipulate Evronians to get his
: revenge on Uno and PK. Does that ring a bell? Do I have to mention that
: it's red and bitter as a spinster?
