Rating: - Scathingly brilliant
Years after the funniest character to come out of Marvel comics disappeared off the face of the Earth after the ungodly George Lucas produced film tanked, original creator Steve Gerber brings back Howard the Duck under Marvel's mature readers MAX line. Giving Gerber complete freedom to do what he wants, this relaunch of Howard the Duck finds our cigar chomping hero and his human girlfriend Beverly down and out and living near a junkyard. Things change however after Beverly lands a high paying job, ... Read More
Rating:  - Waaaugh of art
Who'd have thought it. Decades after the darkest and funniest mainstream comics-book character was banished to the outer limits by that film, he's back and hasn't lost any of that world-weary invective and sarcasm we love.
Gerber's got a lot to say about the state of the consumerist world we live in and there's plenty of targets to have fun with.
The artwork is excellent, especially Fabry's contribution.
I'd give it 5 stars but it's too damn short.
Rating: - Witty? You Don't Need to Look VeryFar!!!
Howard the Duck to me was a movie. A very bad, dumb, never should have been made movie. Howard the Duck in real life is a comic book produced by Marvel Comics that first appeared in the 1970s.

Gerber, the creator of Howard, is an angry, very frustrated writer who wants to bash anyone in his ... Read More
Rating: - As good or better than Shakespeare -- I'm serious!!
Yes, I agree the movie was awful. It sucked rocks! But the original comic book was The Greatest Work Of Literature In The Latter Half Of The 20th Century, and helped to make me the man I am today. Steve Gerber's writing is better than ever in this new book, which is a compilation of a series that was released under the Marvel MAX line earlier this year. MAX is a special line of comics Marvel publishes especially for adults, featuring naked female breasts, curse words, and (especially in the case of HTD) ... Read More
Rating: - Comics don't get better than this.
Howard the Duck was written by Steve Gerber at the height of his powers. And Steve Gerber, for my money, stands on the pinnacle of comic creators (and this is coming from someone who has read thousands of comics over the last thirty years). If I had to list one feature of Gerber's writing that stands out above all others, it would be characterisation. This may be a comic book about a talking duck and his girlfriend, but these two are more vivid and realised than nearly all the characters you'll find in comics, ... Read More
