Howard the Duck (2023-)

Howard is a private investigator in Cleveland, navigating a life defined by perpetual, waterfowl-shaped misfortune. His routine of existential dread and minor cases is interrupted by the arrival of the Peeper, a cosmic entity that offers him glimpses of potential alternate realities. These visions present starkly different versions of his own existence, from moments of unexpected joy to scenarios where his circumstances are marginally less dire. The experience forces him to confront the specific texture of his own gritty, unglamorous reality. The city's neon lights reflect off rain-slicked pavement as he considers the weight of these possibilities.
