Marvel has announced that they are releasing a new Howard the Duck comic book series. The series will be written by Chip Zdarsky and illustrated by Joe Quinones.
Many people may be familiar with Howard the Duck from the scene after the credits in Guardians of the Galaxy.
Howard the Duck will take the character, put him on Earth, and have him be a private investigator.
“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!” said Zdarsky.
The comic will be more humorous compared to other Marvel comics. Zdarsky has experience writing comedic comics being co-creator of Sex Criminals.
“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,” said Zdarsky.
Issue #1 of Howard the Duck is set to be released on March 4.
