And
for the longest time, very nearly the last.
Howard
the Duck is notorious for being a big stinker. It laid an egg. It wasn’t all it
was quacked up to be. It couldn’t duck all the bad reviews. This movie was all
ducked up. It was-
Yeah,
you get the picture.
Me,
I saw Howard the Duck on Friday night of the first weekend of release and I liked it
just fine. Of course, I didn’t get out that much so my bar for being
entertained was pretty low. It also helped that Howard the Duck also starred
Lea Thompson.
Lea
was Beverly, a singer fronting an all-girl rock ‘n’ roll band who winds up
involved in the life of the movie’s titular duck. (“Titular Duck” would be a
great name for an all-girl rock ‘n’ roll band.)
My attraction to Lea was not just because she was a beautiful woman but,
well, I don’t want to say Beverly’s standard were low, just very flexible.
Yes, Beverly sleeps with Howard.
No,
it’s not icky! Don’t disrespect Lea Thompson’s artistic choices!
Anyway,
Howard the Duck was a bomb but Lea Thompson survived to go on to bigger and
better things in Back to the Future and star in her own NBC sitcom, Caroline in
the City.
But
Lea has not forgotten her Howard the Duck roots. When she was on Dancing With
the Stars a few seasons back (where she was robbed, I tells ya! ROBBED!), she
was seen striking this alluring pose while wearing a Howard the Duck jacket.
Yes,
I’ve posted this pic before. But c’mon! Look at her! I mean, WOW!
I
may post it again, even if I can’t necessarily tie a post to either Lea Thompson
or Howard the Duck.

So
clearly Lea Thompson embraces the Howard the Duck part of her life. In fact,
she gave the OK to the creative team on the current Howard the Duck comic book
to include her in a recent issue.

Yes,
Lea Thompson is part of the Marvel Universe! I’d like to see Thanos try something
now! Never mind Captain America or Thor! We’ve got Lea Thompson, bee-yotch!
Here are some pages from Lea's appearance in Howard the Duck#9.

As
for Howard the Duck, there have been rumors that ol’ Howard could get another
shot at the big time, perhaps another movie or a Netflix series. We’ve already
seen him in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the post credits scene for Guardians
of the Galaxy.
I'm not sure I'm on board with that. It seems fitting for Howard to have the honor of being Marvel's first major movie star but with a movie no one liked.
And really, Howard the Duck the movie is not really all that bad. It could be worse.
Howard the Duck#9 is on sale at your local comic book store.
Howard the Duck the movie can be found in the $5 bin at Wal-Mart.
