Multiple covers (naturally) for Hulk #1, accompanied by the following ad copy:
"Now that the dust has cleared and World War Hulk has ended, the Hulk is seemingly no more. But if that’s true…then who is this new, red skinned Hulk? And what connection does he have to the murder of a classic Hulk character? With Iron Man, She-Hulk and Doc Samson on the case, the answers will be unearthed—and you won’t believe what they discover!"
What do you think?
With Amadeus Cho doing the "hard-travelling heroes" bit with Hercules -- and Doc Samson, She-Hulk, and Thunderbolt Ross (all in the original promo art) apparently in the clear -- my bets are with Rick Jones as Tomato Hulk. Which would dovetail nicely with Bucky-as-Cap and, dare I say it, Jason Todd as Batman.
It's "youthsplosion" down mainstream comics way! The kids have taken over. Only, the kids are all kinda pushing thirty.

ReplyDeleteThat's really all more than I can take. Where's my TUMS?
ummm... am I the only one who HATES Acuna's art?
ReplyDeleteHonestly, his stuff in Flash made me almost drop the title, then Freddy Williams saved the day, only to have him come back, and now he's coming to spread this vomit in the Marvel U.
Ugh!
Ps. all his characters look like they have down syndrome.
ReplyDelete"The kids have taken over. Only, the kids are all kinda pushing thirty."
ReplyDeleteJust like many of the fans. Seems to fit pretty well, I think.

Except most of the fans aren't pushing thirty anymore. At the comic shop I go to, I'm the youngest customer and I'm 31! I think most of the fans are pushing Social Security age at this point.
We only know one thing for sure - this event will tear the Marvel Universe apart. Everything you thought you knew is wrong. NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.
ReplyDeleteI like the Acuña cover a lot. It's hard not to think that with this creative team, the book will be quarterly at best.
ReplyDeleteMore excited for the Herc book though.
@ UKnow: You forgot to add, "The earthshattering saga for the ages... because YOU demanded it!"
ReplyDelete^_^
Since Rick Jones has been around since 1962...doesn't that really make him...between 60 and 63?
ReplyDeleteI heard the Red Hulk was Snapper Carr. Speaking of things that haven't been relevant in decades.

I don't know how to feel about this. ;)
Hey, Snapper was in that big invasion story and now he's in the 52 Follow up, The Four Horsemen, which is honestly sort of awesome.
ReplyDeleteExcept how Batman keeps saying, "Y'think?" in it. That's dumb.
@ zhinxy
ReplyDeleteI pray that this becomes the new target demographic. I'm smart, I'm literate, I've got a ton of cash to burn on direct-market comics (compared to your average 14-year-old). Nerdy thirtysomethings are where it's at, Marvel and DC!
Will they also explain why Red Hulk has painted his fingernails black? Is this the emo-goth Hulk?
ReplyDelete"Hulk is strongest one there is, because Hulk is saddest one there is. No one is sad as Emo Hulk!"
If Hulk says "Hulk Is Saddest One There Is!" I will probably have to, I don't know...I don't know what I will do. I...hurt myself today. To see if...I still feel. I...WTF.
ReplyDeleteIt's okay, mordicai. When Emo-Hulk hurts, we all hurt. Emo-Hulk cries gamma-tears for all of us.
ReplyDeleteAcuña's Hulk looks like Ranxerox.
