These days, Marvel seemingly just print anything in the hope that it might pay off (though the fact that their monthly solicitations almost always have at least one or two cancellations indicates otherwise), and the latest character to get his own series is Howard the Duck. Yay?
To be fair, the series has a quality creative team in the form of Chip Zdarsky and Joe Quinones, and a devoted fanbase who will likely be very pleased by this news. Set on Earth, the cosmic character will apparently be a P.I. in this book, something which sounds like quite a bit of fun! "I love the contrast of Howard against both the normal world of us hairless apes and the weird worlds of Man-Things and Dr. Stranges and Spider-Mans. ‘Cause he doesn’t fit into either, really," says Zdarsky. "I’m just going to continue exploring those contrasts, but my ultimate goal is to make it funny. Marvel has taken chances on funny books and injecting humor into superhero titles, so I want to make sure this is worth some chuckles here and there." What do you guys think?
