Howard the Duck #1 (of 4) - by Ty Templeton and Juan Bobillo
Howard the Duck is back in a new limited series. Once a duck always a duck, not the case back in 2002 (MAX series) where Howard the Duck was actually a rat/mouse. Now the three-foot-tall witty feather-head returns as a duck with Beverly to rage war against the media, who will win?
Grab your guns and camcorders and start shooting, it's DUCK SEASON! Marvel's favorite furious fowl, Howard, and his faithful friend with benefits, Beverly, begin their journey to destroy the internet, radio and television, in this all new mini-series by Ty Templeton (She-Hulk) and Juan Bobillo (She-Hulk). See Howard face mighty hunters with mighty guns on MeTube! See Beverly in nothing but fig leaves! See grown men dressed as bunnies! And who is that giant headed guy taking A.I.M. at our heroes? HINT: It starts with "MODO—" Just when you thought it was safe to read comics again…and Marvel has to do THIS?!?
