THIS IS HOWARD. , IN FACT! HOW DID HE GET THAT NAME, YOU ASK? WELL, UH, BECAUSE HE’S AN ANTHROPOMORPHIC TALKING DUCK? I MEAN, HOW OFTEN HAVE YOU EVER SEEN AN ANTHROPOMORPHIC TALKING DUCK? WOULDN’T YOU PUT THE DUCK IN YOUR NAME IF YOU WERE AN ANTHROPOMORPHIC TALKING DUCK? UGH, SOME PEOPLE THESE DAYS… ANYWAY, IN ADDITION TO BEING A DUCK, HE’S ALSO TRAPPED HERE ON EARTH AND TRYING TO REMAIN SENSIBLE IN A WORLD GONE MAD! SO, Y’KNOW, HE BECAME A PRIVATE DETECTIVE.

HOWARD’S HAD A ROUGH COUPLE DAYS. HE WAS HIRED TO RECOVER A STOLEN NECKLACE FOR A MYSTERIOUS CLIENT NAMED MR. RICHARDS (TOTALLY NOT HIS REAL NAME). BUT AS SOON AS HE RECOVERED IT, HOWARD WAS PROMPTLY MUGGED BY SPIDER-MAN’S . WRITER (DON’T WORRY, IT’LL MAKE SENSE IN A SECOND.) IT TURNS OUT THAT JOE QUINONES THE ELDERLY OF NEW YORK WERE ACTUALLY BEING HYPNOTIZED BY PENCILER THE TO ROB PEOPLE! (OKAY, IT KIND OF MAKES SENSE.) JOE RIVERA THANKFULLY, MR. RICHARDS SHOWED UP TO SAVE THE DAY! BUT THEN HE REVEALED TO HOWARD AND HIS NEW FRIEND TARA TAM THAT HE WAS with NOT MR. RICHARDS (I TOLD YOU!), HE WAS ACTUALLY A DANGEROUS OUTCAST KNOWN AS TALOS THE UNTAMED! RICO RENZI COLOR ARTIST AFTER GOING TO HIS “GOOD” “FRIEND” DR. STRANGE FOR HELP, TRAVIS LANHAM HOWARD LEARNED THAT THE NECKLACE WAS ACTUALLY A PIECE OF LETTERER THE MODERATELY DANGEROUS ABUNDANT GLOVE (WHICH IS TOTALLY NOT AT ALL LIKE THE GAUNTLET). IN AN EFFORT TO SAVE THE JON MOISAN ENTIRE UNIVERSE (OR AT LEAST A SIZABLE PORTION OF IT), DR. STRANGE, ASSISTANT EDITOR TARA AND HOWARD, ALONG WITH THE , TRACKED DOWN WIL MOSS THE LAST ABUNDANT GEM AT THE FORMER HEADQUARTERS OF THE EDITOR . BUT IT TURNED OUT THAT TALOS HAD THE SAME TOM BREVOORT IDEA AND MANAGED TO GET THE GEM FIRST, FINISHING HIS GLOVE AND EXECUTIVE EDITOR BRINGING MODERATE DOOM TO THE GALAXY!
