Marvel’s most famous fowl is now quacking his way to Marvel Puzzle Quest in a special limited release event! Howard the Duck, the diminutive detective trapped in a world he never made, will be available in Marvel Puzzle Quest starting on April 7th in a feather-filled mini-event titled, “Duck Season”. Both Chip Zdarsky and Joe Quinones (writer and artist of the Howard the Duck comic series) worked together with the Demiurge Studios team in creating the art and abilities for Howard the Duck in the game. The duck call for Duck Season will begin with Howard being earnable in “The Hunt” episode right before a special brand new episode written by Marvel writer Alex Irvine titled, “Webbed Wonder” comes to the game on April 11th.

The new episode will be a three day, three sub-chapter event telling the story of Spider-Man enlisting the services of private eye Howard the Duck to discover what in the world Aunt May been up to lately in New York City. In their search for her through New York, the duo will fight their way through H.A.M.M.E.R. Agents, Maggia, man-eating symbiotes, and a host of Marvel Super Villains in order to uncover the truth. The episode will feature other popular Marvel Puzzle Quest characters, including Squirrel Girl, Kingpin, Bullseye, and more! Players that complete Webbed Wonder will automatically be rewarded a Howard the Duck cover for their efforts. Duck Season will conclude with a brand new Howard the Duck Versus Tournament titled, “Fowl Play” that starts on April 14th.

Players will only be able to add Howard the Duck to their roster during Duck Season.
