Sure, it's not Steve Gerber, but Ty Templeton's sneering satiric look at pop culture, politics and Marvel Comics feels more Gerberesque than anyone else who has written for Howard in nearly fifty years. I had to keep checking the publication dates, because so many of the jokes and barbs feel pointed in the Trump era; much to my surprise, this was created in the lead-up to the 2008 election.

Achingly stupid, rhetorically poisonous, and not even all that funny, but at least it's got some character, which is more than about 75% of this era of Marvel.

anyone reading this knows I love me some Howard the Duck and this book has been on my radar for a while now but to be fair I've avoided if only b/c of that terrible cover art. I know, I know don't judge a book by its cover, etc, etc. and while this wasn't the complete and utter disaster I assumed it'd be it still isn't very good. the art w/in the book is slightly different than the cover art but not necessarily for the better. instead of being just plain ugly w/ that bleeding colors and just kin anyone reading this knows I love me some Howard the Duck and this book has been on my radar for a while now but to be fair I've avoided if only b/c of that terrible cover art. I know, I know don't judge a book by its cover, etc, etc. and while this wasn't the complete and utter disaster I assumed it'd be it still isn't very good. the art w/in the book is slightly different than the cover art but not necessarily for the better. instead of being just plain ugly w/ that bleeding colors and just kinda dirty vibe the art is crisper and brighter like a lot of comics in the 2000s but where the book really fails is the character designs. this is the absolute worst Howard has ever looked and even though this is further on in his life he looks oddly younger and tired, like some kinda college student or something. and Howard's girlfriend is literally just a chesty generic female character, she literally looks like a background character somehow bumped up to lead status for no apparent reason. the main villain is just an ugly mess that stands out for being about as unappealing as one could imagine. I just hated looking at this book. as for the story itself, it isn't terrible but most of what it's trying to say has already been said in the classic Howard runs for president arc way back in the 70s. the book does offer some insight into the psyche of Howard himself, thinking he's a monster w/out a home, it's handled so clumsily that it never really sticks. the writer seems to have a real special place in his heart for Howard but either offers up nothing original or just plain ham-fisted and outta place. the best thing I can say about this book is that it's only 4 issues long. so I guess maybe judging a book by its cover isn't always wrong.

I had been warned that this volume was not like the older run of Howard the Duck comics, and had been told to simply avoid it, but I actually enjoyed this. It takes place shortly after the Howard story from the Civil War storyline, and is a wacky story about media (which was all the rage at the time). Howard looks kind of strange here, and I'm glad that didn't stick. This was a weird story, almost a parody, but having read enough Deadpool comics, it wasn't particularly jarring.

Ty Templeton? The same Ty Templeton that gave us the great Stig's Inferno? Writers should know when to leave well enough alone. Howard The Duck is one of those characters left well enough alone. Howard was, is and shall forever be Steve Gerber... no other writer will ever come close to the originals and any writer aware of the old FOOG (Friends of ol Gerber) club should have the decency to realize that Howard is a no-touch character. (unless Dave Sim ever decides to do something with him, then all Ty Templeton? The same Ty Templeton that gave us the great Stig's Inferno? Writers should know when to leave well enough alone.

Was decent. Nothing subtle here, just a sentient duck (who happens to be a big-time loser), some ridiculously blown-out-of-proportion circumstances, the greatest of talking heads, and a spot-on cameo by President GWB.

Great satire of American media, culture, and politics. Loved it.
