Feb 15th
Howard the Duck is a goofy and unexpected Marvel character, on par with Deadpool in many ways, created by Steve Gerber and Val Mayerik.

Almost every issue of the main Spider-Man title, Amazing Spider-Man, has been filled with captions serving as cliff notes that point the reader off in different directions where subplots continue and More >
