The Return of the Duck

In the past couple of weeks, the words "pushed back" have taken on new meaning, as new release dates for Civil War books seem to get later and later. Too often an unknowing customer walks in and asks "So do you guys have Civil War 4?" I always feel like I'm telling these people their dog got run over by the neighbor's car. "I'm sorry, no. It's been... pushed back".

But like a beacon of light in this desolate time comes Marvel's announcement of Civil War: Choosing Sides, a one-shot due out in late October. If you wondered what the Registration Act has meant for Daredevil, Venom, and yes even Howard the Duck, here's your chance to find out.

This collection of stories about an assortment of some of the less thought-of characters in the Marvel universe also includes an update on U.S. Agent and the launching of a new series about the new Irredeemable Ant-Man.

Yes, it's filler. Yes, it's fan service. But who doesn't enjoy a little fan service now and again? They owe us for being patient.
