• Join Chip (Zdarsky) and Joe (Quinones) as they say goodbye to Howard in a Very Special Issue that is still priced as a Regular Issue!
• Can Howard outwit fate? Can any of us? Or is the concept of predestination just shorthand for the near-infinite factors in play that are guided, at their core, by free will?
• Guest-starring Spider-Man, probably.
Rated T+
Daffy Duck being hassled at the drawing table by artist Bugs Bunny, this is not. Read Full Review
The final issues. I'm very sad to see this go, it is easily the best title I've been reading out of Marvel. Chip wrote doppelgangers of himself and Joe into the story. Writer Chipp, or course, is thrashing around destructively, killing off a character without good reason and it's up to artist Jho to tie up the loose ends and fix Chipp's actions, who is recklessly playing God. There are a couple cheap writing tricks, but this book is quite self aware about that and executes it in a way that makes it far more interesting than it would have been otherwise. There is also a plot device used that was introduced earlier in the series, revealing how long Chip and Joe had this ending in mind.
Great series with a zany ending! Zdarsky and Quinones delivered.
Mr. Murray AKA Chip Zdarsky somehow manages to stick a decent landing for the end in spite of how much I hate all the "oh, i'm so witty" self-patting he loves to indulge in.
