I vaguely recall seeing Howard the Duck as a kid with my Dad. This comic is much better!! This series is funny, sweet, silly, and about as good as a comic book can possibly be. I love it!

When Marvel announced that they were handing off possibly their most loony title to noted quack Chip Zdarksy (artist on the incredible SEX CRIMINALS), I knew I couldn't duck out of buying this. I expected (and have clearly fully embraced) the puns. I didn't expect the emotional moments about being an outsider, about belonging and the ways your alienation and anger can drive you further away from people, and they way back from that path. It's actually moving.But also Zdarksy is just ruthless with...

This book was awesome and funny.

weird and entertaining

Chip's writing is a sheer delight.

After gently amusing audiences (and likely confusing a few) with a post-credits cameo in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, Howard the Duck is given a new series written by Chip “Sex Crimz” Zdarsky and drawn by Joe Quinones. If you read Charles Soule’s She-Hulk (recommended) you might remember seeing Howard in a panel in the final issue moving into the office next to Jen’s. Howard’s decided to become a private investigator and is hired by the mysterious Mr Jonathan Richards to steal back somethi...

How do you get down off your high horse?(view spoiler)[You don’t get down off your high horse, you get down off a duck. (hide spoiler)]In the wake of Matt Fraction’s run on Hawkeye, we’ve seen a lot of laid-back, toned-down, humorous takes on super heroes from Marvel and for the most part, they’re pretty good. Until now.Howard the Duck, a talking alien fowl who has become a private eye here on Earth, has been around since the early seventies and has usually drifted in satire/parody and the occa...

Zdarsky pokes fun at the Marvel Universe while Howard pretty much meets everyone in the Marvel U. Howard has become a private dick. He's hired to find a magical gem which turns out to be part of a knockoff Infinity Gauntlet. I found this to be a lot of fun. I especially liked how they poked fun at their title ending because of the Secret Wars crossover.

I really hope Chip will up his game in the next volume, because right now his writing is not good. Yes, this book is funny in a zdarsky way, but plot-wise, it is pretty weak, both in this one and in his creator-owned Kaptara. Out of these two so far, Howard is at least a bit more enjoyable with all the fun pokes at major super-heroes (oh, Spidey). And his style just works better in a ridiculous comic book about a funny grumpy talking duck a bit better than a book about getting trapped on an alie...

The quality of this volume is a bit erratic compared to Vol. 1. Some jokes hit, but some definitely miss. You could skip it and start with Vol. 1, if you wish. You won't miss too much.

what? I mean, somewhat entertaining, but probably way more entertaining for someone who isn't me?

Great. Funny, and great.Here are three of the jokes I thought were great. If these hook you in, then read it!1. The story involves an Infinity Gauntlet knockoff known as the Abundant Glove.2. The Abundant Glove also has knockoff gems. They are as follows:CompassionLaughterDanceRespectA Second Dance Gem3. The case of the Heroes For Hire Against Howard's "Hero For Hire" Ad Campaign A lot of you probably saw Howard the Duck in the end of Guardians of the Galaxy. Whether it was weirder to see a duck...

So this was awesome, absolutely laugh out loud hilarious!Howard is a private eye, a Duck dick if you will, and his office is next to none other than She-Hulk. Despite her appearances being few and far between she was infinitely more interesting and likable in this title than in her own now canceled series She-Hulk, Volume 1: Law and Disorder.Other cameos include:Spider-ManDoctor StrangeRocket Raccoon & the rest of the GuardiansAunt MayBlack CatLuke CageIron FistHuman Torch & the Fantastic Four F...

3.75 - This book is a lot of fun and it is a great homage to the classic stuff. The one thing that ruined it for me was their take on Spider-man (and to a lesser degree a few other major Marvel characters). Yes it was funny but it quickly became over used and more importantly, if your story is set in the main Marvel universe you can't turn major characters into cartoony spoof caricatures of themselves. It was a little ridiculous. I may have enjoyed it more if it wasn't set in the 616.

I've never been a Howard the Duck fan, but I've been meaning to give the Chip Zdarsky run a try since he's been doing a decent Daredevil recently. Well, this ain't that.Dumb duck jokes prevail in this team-up book that has Howard hanging in turn with She-Hulk, Spider-Man, Rocket Raccoon and the Guardians of the Galaxy, Dr. Strange, the Human Torch and more before the all-hands-on-deck finale -- which a day later I'm hard pressed to recall . . . something, something, Skrulls, something, the book

I had high hopes for this book. I've loved Howard the Duck for years and was so happy to have him back.While I did enjoy this book, it wasn't the five star corker I'd been hoping for. Howard seems a little off somehow. Not angry enough, maybe? I also hated the running joke of Spider-Man being a useless cretin. I'm really not sure what that was supposed to achieve other than tell everyone Zdarsky hates Spider-Man. Nobody cares, Chip.Overall, the book was OK. I don't regret reading it and I'll be

A really fun and enjoyable time, definitely felt like a quick easy read so I recommend it. The tone and pacing took some getting used to, it's practically parody, but there's a lot of great humor and funny moments. Chip really is the best boy for having Human Torch casually sing Beastie Boys. Quinones' art is very fitting with some really good expressions and comedic visuals.

Howard the Duck is having a hard time on Earth.As the only talking duck on the planet, he has a hard time making friends although from time to time he does make some. Howard is doing as well as he can as a private investigator, but he's not too proud to beg.Howard the Duck is quite the odd character. He's understandably mad and that unfortunately seems to lead to many people not liking him. His lawyer never calls when he gets arrested. He has to worry about guys like the Collector sweeping him u...

I haven't read a good Howard the Duck story since the original Steve Gerber run. Until now. This was smart and funny and parodic. Howard is trying to be a private detective in New York City. Even he questions why he left Cleveland. He and some superheroes get on each other's nerves. And he gets dragged into an adventure which is way over his head.

I've been reading a lot of Chip Zdarsky lately and I think this is my favorite one so far. He made me feel empathy with a talking duck and all the parodies of the Marvel universe are so on point it hurts. Excited to read more of this.
