I understand the marketing reasons for a new #1, and at least Chip Zdarsky and Joe Quinones are having fun with it in the faint spirit of Howard’s creator Steve Gerber. Make no mistake: this is a continuation of a quirky series that holds no sacred cows in the Marvel Universe, making parody into continuity. I’d like to see this take make it to at least #32… though I kind of fear the presence of Gwenpool.
