In honor of the infamous Marvel movie star‘s 50th year, the House of Ideas will release Howard the Duck #1 this Wednesday, featuring — you guessed it — Howard the Duck!

Oh, and the X-Men!

Better yet, the issue’s X-story is written by friend of X-Men Monday Jason Loo, who as you’ll learn, is busier than ever. How could we not take a break from the Fall of X to embrace the Fowl of X with Jason? Let’s get started!

AIPT: Back to the present, how did the opportunity to contribute to Howard’s 50th-anniversary comic come about?

Jason: Editors Wil Moss and Michelle Marchese reached out to me and gave me a few different suggestions for Whaugh If ideas. It was around the time when news broke that Ms. Marvel was becoming an X-Man. So I thought, “Wouldn’t it be also neat to turn this other beloved Marvel character into an X-Man?”

AIPT: Truly, it’s a question X-Fans have been asking for 50 years: Whaugh if Howard the Duck joined the X-Men? What can they look forward to in you and artist Derek Charm’s story?

Jason: I wrote this as if I was trying out for Mad Magazine, hahaha. But imagine Howard the Duck discovering himself to be a mutant and joining the X-Men at the early height of their popularity and going through the seasons with them up to the ’90s. Derek perfectly captured the nostalgic vibes of the characters. I hope Marvel revisits Classic X-Men and gets Derek to retell the early Chris Claremont stories in his style. That’s something I want to see more of.



Jason is also writing a Marvel Unlimited story called INFINITY PAWS which will include Gambit's three cats and Lockheed.

Doesn't the winged girl in the first panel look like Avia from Hidden Years?

Hope we see Beverly in the book.

Wow it really does look like her! I wonder if Loo or Charm are fans of that book, the design is way too close for it to be a coincidence.

Take that Avengers.

They had to buy Fox to get the real milk cow back.

Wow a rare Ben Percy appearance! He never did many of these so I'm curious to read what he has to share.

Same here. 2024 is going to be a big year for Logan! Starting with Sabretooth War.
