Howard The Duck News

This post relates to: Moon Knight, Howard The Duck

Small week for Marvel.  As we can see, Zombie month has started.   Howard the Duck lands this week.  I'm not sure what to make of it.  I might pick it up.  Seems...wrong without Steve Gerber on board.  Also, what's up with the regular cover?  That does not look like Howard the Duck to me.  Why oh why is he wearing a half-shirt?  Where's his derby?  Where's the suit?  Where's the cigar?  I don't know why he is dressed like that.  Maybe it has something to do with the story.  Just doesn't seem like a good idea for the cover of the first issue.  He should be more recognizable.   The zombie variant makes up for the bad outfit choice.  I'm sure you probably won't see the zombie cover as much as you'd see the regular sitting on the shelf. 

Speaking of zombie covers, we also one for Ms. Marvel.  The zombie covers still make me laugh, but I don't think I'd choose that one over the Greg Horn version.  Who wouldn't want to be her puppet master?

We also get Essential Moon Knight volume 2!  Very nice!

This post relates to: Howard The Duck, Ty Templeton

Seems kind of weird not having Steve Gerber on this.  But Ty Templeton should do a great job.

Imagine…a world without internet, television, or even radio…a dark, lonely, and terrible place. Who is to blame for this desolate, media-free wasteland? Why, none other than Marvel’s furious fowl, Howard the Duck! Last seen dealing with the intracies of whether an alien duck has to register for the Super Hero Registration Act in Civil War: Choosing Sides, Howard returns for an all-new adventure in Howard the Duck #1! Writer Ty Templeton and artist Juan Bobillo, both of She-Hulk fame, bring you a new spin on the comedic bird from Duckworld that introduces everyone's favorite surly duck to a new generation.

This time, Howard the Duck is facing a foe more dastardly than Dr. Bong, Garko the Man-Frog and the sinister Hellcow combine. His deadliest enemy is…the media?!?! The voluptuous vixen known as Beverly Switzler is here to help out her duck-billed lover, but the largest head in the Marvel Universe, M.O.D.O.K. is A.I.Ming his giant noggin in their direction! If that’s not enough to get you to buy this outrageous book, then we only have four words for you…Beverly…fig leaf outfit. ’Nuff said.

This Fall, only one word can sum up all the over-the-top, feather-brained action in Howard the Duck #1 – “WAAAUGH!!!”
