May the Farce be with
You !
First of all this issue features Val Mayerik
penciling, you may remember Val from way back in Fear 19
(you know Howard's very first appearance).
Howard is lounging upon the rooftop whining about the fact
that Beverly is married to Dr. Bong, when all of a sudden
he is attacked by a giant package of salt with ape like
arms and legs. The salt container begins to season Howard
(pouring salt on his wounds) and then jumps off the building
falling to its death!?! And then again suddenly Howard is
attached by a giant housefly, and must destroy it with a
handy acoustic guitar. He turns and then is confronted by
Dakimh the Enchanter (or rather his ghost) and the Man-Thing.
Dakimh informs Howard that its time to fulfill his destiny
and before Howard can say anything they are transported
away. Then were treated to a reunion of most of the characters
from Man-Thing #1 including Korrek the Barbarian and Jennifer
Kale. This time our crew must fight the Demon child of Sombra,
Bzzk to save the universe from Spiritual Anesthesia. Dakimh
informs our heroes that Howard is in charge and leaves the
warriors. Well Howard wants nothing to do with this and
insteads goes to the kitchen of Dakimh castle to find something
to eat. Howard is attached by a giant pickle and must be
rescued by the Man-Thing. Just at this moment Bzzk shows
up with a capture Jennifer Kale. Got all that, I didn't
think so.
