After just a small cameo inGuardians of the Galaxy, suddenly everyone was talking once again about Howard the Duck. Well, if you were hoping to see more of the odd character, Marvel has made your wish come true! The ongoing series is by Chip Zdarsky and Joe Quinones. During an interview with EW, Zdarsky says he likes Howard the Duck because the character is "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!"

Straight from Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy…post-credits scene comes the comic book return of the Marvel Universe’s most satirical sort. Join him as he takes on the Marvel Universe’s strangest cases only a talking duck can quack as New York City’s newest private investigator! New York City is full of the strange and the weird – a talking duck gumshoe shouldn’t be that much of a shocker!

Be there when Howard the Duck ventures through the Marvel Universe, trapped in a world he’s become accustomed to as he takes on the Black Cat, She-Hulk and mysterious forces from outer space! Plus maybe even a Guardian of the Galaxy or two! (Mmmmmaybe.)

As for the story, Zdarsky states he loves how different the character is from the rest of the Marvel Universe. "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!" Click here to read the full interview. So, who's going to buy the first issue?

HOWARD THE DUCK #1 will go on sale March 4.

Cool.

cool times a million

I'm actually down to get this, lol.

well i like detective stories so..WIN

Wow this is so cool. How I wish Marvel launch Devil Dinosaur comic series :)

Also maybe if Howard Duck is a huge success perhaps DC consider to do Ambush Bug comic series

Pass but the art work is stellar

Free Blade Marvel!

Oh god @wildvine have you seen this

First thing that came into my mind....oh, the horror.....

I knew this day would come!!!

So the guy who draws Sex Criminals is involved? NICE!

pass.

SOLD!!

growing up in the 80's - early 90's i can tell you how memorable the character and the film were... i really never read any of his books before but i will def be putting this on my pull list asap. i even kept the trading card given to me by @inferiorego

yes!

I'm down, not a must have but I'll check it out.

ugh

Howard the Duck is one of those characters that I kind of wish Marvel lets fade into obscurity as I feel no need to ever read another book with him in it. This book isn't for me but with that said, I hope that those who are excited get a book they'll enjoy with a long run.

Awesome!

Neat.

Howard The Duck, Groot, rocket Raccoon, Doop, Puck and Squirrell Girl TEAM UP BOOK!! Make it HAPPEN!!!

On, give me a break...

Yet still no series for Dr. Strange or Blade.

@thecannon: well Marvel nowadays prefer to publish fun and light tone book :) it is family oriented book

lol, well ok

Too much comics I would rather read than this so this is a no for me...

pass

Word

Can they do a crossover with Detective Chimp?

Oh yeah, Howard the Duck is officially part of the MCU but not Spidey.

Sweet

well i like detective stories so..WIN

Wildvine will like this.

Am I the only one who thinks Howard the Duck was and always will be a stupid idea for a comic/movie?

He's a private eye now? Cool.

Lame

Well, I'm quite on board. I have basically no previous experience with Howard the Duck outside of a vague idea of who the character is, but hiring Chip Zdarsky is a good way to get me to read a comic book.

@billy_batson

It happened.

I'm less surprised than I thought I'd be.

@ostyo: She's a fan of the duck?

I think that would either be all time awesome or horrible dredge... Something like four-issue special kind of deal might work best for something like this, as a one-shot or series it probably would fall flat.

In a series the 'fun weirdness' would dilute and one-shot isn't long enough to get the story really going with so many different characters.

@thecannon: Agreed but Howard is still epic. If they keep the at constant I'll pick it up

Strange will get his comic once his movie is close to coming out in theaters

Best news ever........

Have you read a Howard comic?
BB

I really dig Joe Quinones' art. Never been a Howard the Duck fan but I may give t he first issue a shot.

I'll pass. Never really liked the character. There's also a list of characters that deserve an ongoing before Howard the Duck.

I'm throwing my money at the screen but nouthing is happening
