It's your lucky day! There's a trope page for the series (plus link to a scanlation site so you can read it again): Paperinik New Adventures.
I was in Italy when the New Adventures were coming out. I bought 4 of them.
I remember the first I read was incomprehensible, no explanation for new readers and the art was confusing, and it was trying too hard to ape a certain type of Hollywood film. Others I read were better. There was well-made, fast-paced a lighthearted adventure, and another was a hilarious tongue-in-cheek take on soap operas. One concerned a robot rebellion using time travel; good, despite holes in the time thingy, but I could not help but feel that the antagonist had it right.
They were more mature than most of the stories running in Topolino and the other fumetti aimed at children (though I remember they got better in the years before I left Italy). The best I saw of Paperinik outside the New Adventures was 3-4 stories intitled "Quando Paperinik mangia pesante", parodies of the genre that were utterly hilarious (they might lose something in translation though).
A blog that gets updated on a geological timescale.Awww, this brings me back. I actually got two issues of Paperinik New Adventures in Dutch (under the title of Duck Power).
Really enjoyed those two issues, but it never had enough mass-appeal to sustain the series for much longer in the Netherlands. Such a shame. It was all pretty good quality once you got past the initial 'Donald Duck as a Marvel Superhero' shock.

I sure do. The last few days the only comic of him I've ever read came back to my memories. It was in spanish and came as a bonus in a totally unrelated nickelodeon magazine...yeah.
I remember it was pretty confusing for a child that had just learned how to read, but it was so damn badass and creepy at the same time. Kind of like a Donald Comics meets Batman meets MOTHERFUCKING ALIEN DUCKS.
So yeah, pretty awesome. I sure would love to find that comic somewhere online. I remember it was something about Donald fighting against alien ducks on hover boards at the top of a skyscraper. And some journalist ends up thinking his super persona is evil.
Pretty grim for a child's comic if you ask me.
Guess that's why I loved him.
