Marvel and Hulu surprised the masses of fans when they announced five new adult animation series:
Howard the Duck, Hit-Monkey, M.O.D.O.K., Tigra and Dazzler Show, with
Offenders being the culmination event for them.
It seems that the idea here is to go all out by looking at the writing teams on each of the respective shows. Talent such as Patton Oswalt, Chelsea Handler, and even Kevin Smith and Dave Willis are being utilized to create a fun new deal which should be a bright spot in a dark time, ie
The Defenders cancellation.
Kevin Smith has a very devoted fanbase that has been waiting for him to work on a Marvel project. Some might be disappointed to find that the talented niche director has been relegated to an animated project, but as you can see from his comments below, Smith thinks it's definitely the right place for him.
The times we're living in deserve an orator who can identify all the quacks in the system - a straight shooter who won't leave us holding the bill. Thanks to Marvel and Hulu, I get to do fowl things to one of my all time favorite comic book characters in animation! Let's be honest: I'm not talented enough to handle any of the Avengers, but Howard is definitely in my wheelhouse!
Kevin Smith isn't the only one writing for
Howard the Duck, as he will be joined by cartoon legend Dave Willis
(Squidbillies, Aqua Teen Hunger Force). See what Smith has to say about that partnership below.
However, the real brains of our operation is a legit cartoon genius: the great Meatwad himself 'Aqua Teen Hunger Force's' Dave Willis! So prepare to get ducked hard!
Well, what do you guys make of this? Does it help knowing that the creative team is passionate about making a good product? Be sure to share your thoughts down below.
