Marvel Comics has announced a new Howard the Duck series.
Co-Collaborator Chip Zdarsky told Entertainment Weekly:
“He’s an everyman who happens to be a duck. “He’s angry, exasperated, and he’s had it up to here with the world around him, but he’s trapped here. Infinitely relatable.
“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.
“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.
God, I’m picturing the reviews now: ‘Some chuckles here and there’. Shoot for the stars, Chip!”
Howard the Duck had a cameo in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie in the summer.
He famously starred in the infamous self-titled ’80s movie.
Marvel recently released a Howard the Duck Omnibus.
Howard the Duck #1 will be released on March 4.
