Just wonderful. After being mugged by Aunt May, Howard tracks down a ring of elderly criminals, which is a fun enough premise – particularly when Howard goes undercover by shedding all his clothes, getting down on his hands and knees in the park, and eating bread tossed to him by old folks while keeping an eye out for the culprit. But then there are the details. There’s the cover quote, “My favorite comic currently being published by Marvel Comics!,” attributed to Cherp Zdorsky. There’s comedy footnotes. There’s just little moments like this to help flesh out Howard’s character. We even get a bonus back-up story where superhero impersonators who dress up like Captain America and Thor are worried about losing their jobs to “women and minorities.” It’s smart, it’s off-beat, and it’s just a joy to read.
