I almost never abandon a comic book - no matter how bad, I can usually power through to the end. Not even Galactus could save this one for me and I love the purple-hatted one. Howard putzes around, there are Marvel cameos galore, and then it’s done. I couldn’t tell you what’s going on in this comic, it’s that boring and all over the shop.

Howard travels all over the galaxy after accidentally bonding with the Nexus and winds up back home after all. Fortunately, the story stays fairly serious considering it features a talking duck and the humor doesn't become overly ridiculous. Joe Quinones' art is cartoony without being too cartoony, perfect for a story featuring a talking duck PI, Rocket Raccoon, and gender-flipped clones of the same. Zdarsky's sense of humor seems to be in line with my own. Lots of shit involving the Wizard, The Stranger, The Collector, Galactus, the Silver Surfer, and The Guardians of the Galaxy happens.
