Second Print

HOT off the pages of the … the post-credits scene at the … the end of a … popular movie … HOWARD THE DUCK is back! Join him as he takes on the weird cases that only a talking duck can crack as the Marvel Universe's resident private investigator!
Let Sex Criminals' CHIP ZDARSKY (a writer known mostly as an artist) and JOE QUINONES (an artist known mostly as a lover) guide you through his new world as he takes on THE BLACK CAT and MYSTERIOUS FORCES FROM OUTER SPACE!
WAUGH! Rated T+
BONUS REVIEW by Gavin Rehfeldt


While issue #1 was quite the accomplishment, a great humor-filled introduction, #2 feels like a step back. It goes for the obvious gags, and articulates known characters in inaccurate ways in service of an uninspired narrative. Still, there is good humor and it's just a fun book with eye-catching art. Having the Guardians of the Galaxy along both helps and hurts. We know these characters so well by now, so when they aren't written accurately it feels like a compromise was made somewhere. They just seemed off somehow. STILL, Howard the Duck is shaping up to be a promising series and I'm not giving up on it yet. The final page intrigues!

I give it 7 out of 10 Grahams
