We're still semi-reeling from the announcement that Kevin Smith is heading an animated series at Hulu based on Marvel Comics character Howard The Duck. That news alone was enough to whet our appetite for one of the more misunderstood characters at Marvel's disposal.
Often the butt of jokes of perhaps the worst film adaptation (for a long time, the rumor was the Arc of the Covenant which was kept in the library at Skywalker Ranch held the $2 million-dollar suit from the live-action film), an animated presentation seems like the perfect way to go, especially with Smith and Dave Willis on board to write.
Smith also just dropped a pretty great nugget of information that Lea Thompson (Back To The Future) will be a part of the Hulu series. Thompson played Howard's human girlfriend Beverly in the live-action film, and we're super excited that she'll be a part of this new show.
Bleeding Cool News Editor Mary Anne Butler (Mab, for short) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), and most recently Bleeding Cool.
Over the past 10 years, she’s built a presence at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always).
Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence.
Though she be but little, she is fierce. #MabTheProfessional
