This will be my final post on Yea Forums.

How can anyone think that this is scary for real ? How can anyone take seriously a horror book with the Hulk as a supposed to be frightening monster ? How can anyone see the Hulk as frightening for real in this book ?
"Ouh, the Hulk is smiling, so unsetlling, this is so scary guys..." why are you lying to yourself like that ?
You guys are just forcing onto yourself the new fade there will be in this hivemind of a board, with the blandest, tamest, most classicly safe comic book there can be, while your selective outrage is shitting on Bendis' Superman for things that would be praised if they were written by someone else, but NOOOOOOOOOOOO you have to shit on it even if it's good because the hivemind dictates you to do so !!!

No wonder you can't get laid, but guess what ? I got a girlfriend now. For the first time of my life after 24 years I finally got a girlfriend, and all that nerd fuss has become so irritating since.
I'm just leaving for good now, I had plenty of fun with that board but I'm done. I wish you to get girlfriends to, maybe it will open your eyes about the hivemind that is destructing your self, but sadly, the hivemind is probably keeping you away from being able to seduce anyone, so you're most likely trapped in a vicious circle, and sadly, there is no Savage Dragon to save you from it. I just hope that this message will maybe help you to think by yourself a bit more and to get a girlfriend to.

Enjoy your book.

Who is joe fixit?

Betty wa Harpy! youtube.com/watch?v=uw1IRJpJsXQ

Yea Forums

>Who is joe fixit?
the Grey Hulk that was the primary Hulk for a large part of the 80's and early 90's

Based. Jenkin's run was one of the nicest Hulk things to read and Ewing is taking directly from it with a pleasant effect.

so this is great and everything but can we admit Hulk books are pretty consistently good? Pak, Duggan, Waid, and most others are alright, there's no really bad green guy comics that I've read

What the fuck is Joe doing here ?

The gangster Grey Hulk.

Give me a quick rundown on Joe Fixit, never read any of his book but I vaguely knows he's supposed to be relatively weaker physically than the other Hulks, but is generally more creative and cunning.

Why did Joe came out now, of all time ? Can I expect some shenanigans next issue ?

a true Chad

YES

YESSSSS

God, it's been too long since we've had Joe Fixit back in the driver's seat. I can't wait to see Ewing go nuts with this.

Damn it. I wanted Red Shulk not Harpy.

Where the classic savage Hulk is basically "Bruce as an abused child, lashing out like a child throwing a tantrum," Joe is more like the expression of Bruce as an emotionally fucked-up teenager: Smart, cunning, cruel and snide. He's an absolute son of a bitch, but a really entertaining one precisely because he's so fucking sharp. He's a decadent monster who enjoys all the sensuous pleasures of life, not least of all grinding his enemies beneath his heel and sneering at them as he does so.

The writing is mediocre, it has no buildup sometimes and uses dumb deus ex machina like how the battle with the absorbing man ended. The teaser for the next chapters are badly done like how when the chapter ends and Betty was teased. It also uses classical quotes to charm brainlets.

Interesting.

Poor Rick, he doesn't deserve to be treated this way...

I knew this was coming a while, but I feel this is a nice compromise since bringing back the Red Shulkie would feel kinda played out.

IDENTITY CRISIS.

Well you got Red Harpy now. You can't always get 100% of what you want.

>and uses dumb deus ex machina like how the battle with the absorbing man ended
In literally what way?

Oh shit, this is much worse than his auto-res kicking in.

He never scored.

That thing came from nowhere and brought them in the klippoth without any build up.

Honestly he doesn't seem that different than Devil Hulk is now, except maybe a bit less sadistic and a lot more hedonistic.

He starts off weaker than Green Hulk but he still gets stronger the angrier he gets. He's done crazy shit like smash an asteroid bigger than Earth (which wouldn't be considered an asteroid but it's comics).

I don't have the concept art saved, but Red Harpy does seem to be a lot more lithe and buff than the original Harpy, which was pretty much just a woman's shoulders and head sticking out of the neck of a pudgy bird.

Attached: harpy1.jpg (233x268, 44K)

>That thing
You mean when Creed split open and opened the Green Door? That could only be seen as a Deus Ex Machina if you didn't understand what they had already set up that more can come with absorbed Gamma radiation than just power. Brian Banner went from Sasquatch to Hulk, to Absorbing Man, and that's when TOBA made its move.

Last issue Betty said she was wearing her old bulletproof gear under her clothes, and judging by the straps on her thigh, at least some of it stayed on.

Also her crest looks weird.

my body is ready

Giving more powers to Gamma energy doesn't make it less of a deus ex machina. He should have built up some toba stuff.

>Giving more powers to Gamma energy doesn't make it less of a deus ex machina
It does given the buildup from this entire series has been about that exact concept. Seriously, have you read this run, or just that issue and this one?

Hopefully Abomination comes back soon.

How many times are you going to post this?

Every day until you like it.

this is a tradition,I dont think it's even the same guy who posts this every storytime.

People saying that A-Bomb is going to be Abomination possessing Rick's body.

Wasn't he executed by a firing squad? Where are the bullet holes?

Wait what? Isn't grey hulk as aspect of banner?

Joe Fixit was Grey Hulk after a long extended stay enough to get a real identity of their own.

Doc just can't catch a break

didn't someone mention her becoming a red harpy from previous threads?

Maybe it's an error on the writer but when in the order strange basically changed grey hulk to professor hulk

So it's one of the few things Yea Forums can agree on that this is shaping up to be the best Hulk run of all time right? Blends elements of every previous run, including TV series, movies, and cartoons as well as comics together then drops John Carpenter on the whole thing to give greatness with horror.

That sounds lame and gay

Run was crazy in a fun way imo

Could some kind anons recommend me some Hulk trades? I want to grab Immortal Hulk when it’s all complied. Well, assuming it does anyway

Should this stay as Betty’s persona, or should she be Red She Hulk?

I feel like Harpy is really more just due to the fractured and conflicted dynamic she has with Bruce right now.
Red She-Hulk'll probably make a resurgence sometime.

seriously great ending, I'm so enjoying this. Best Hulk run since Jenkins'

El Bumpo!

Damn, guys, this fucking comic have everything, probably the best shit in years.

And I don't know you, but Iove the style, remember me the old horror comics of the crypt, the fucking body horror like the best 80's movies(in the fight in hell the BrundleFly appear), the covers are perfect, the concepts, looking back to old series.
Even the appearance of Absorbing Man(the fucking skull thing).
I know how I sound, but this looks like something made with love.

While I don’t refute that, I’m merely thinking gimmick wise and variety for the Hulk Family. Hero Red Harpy could be neat

>cockney accent, hunger for fish and chips, sense of self importance and calls himself joe brexit
AHAH nice one ewing. I laughed out loud on that one

Maybe? I feel like Planet Hulk changed the the dynamic of Hulk/Bruce Banner relationship, Peter David's has numbers on his side, and Future Imperfect is a classic.

Everything I mentioned above would be a good start.

hot

it's grey time

Fuck no.

this cover is amazing

Ross' version of goodnight moon is freaky.

Is that detective Mako? RIP

I recall original storytime of last issue it was brought up, I recall it as not being a Hulk fan in the past, didn't know who "Harpy" was.

How is this comic so good. After months of disinterest in comics, Ewing has brought my love of comics back to life.

He's a pretty good writer, writing a well thought out story with a decent artist, apart from literally 2 panels that are taken out of context to rile culture warriors up

OH NO WYTE PRIVALEGE

oh

I knew it

>He doesn't know

niice

>US department of energy
What?

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

It's probably the warnings they have set up for places where nuclear waste is dumped and sealed off for future civilizations to convey that trying to open them up is going to be bad for everyone involved.

nerd

There's an unknown part of New Mexico that is a deposit of disposed nuclear waste, called the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant. They had a bunch of artists make images telling future generations of the waste buired there, and it's to remain there for 10,000 years. From what it looks like there was going to be a plaque with this inscription on it, but they decided to go with images instead.

Attached: this place.png (897x648, 32K)

So what’s the plan here? They know hulks a sadist and this’ll probably just piss him off

there's a very neat documentary called Into Eternity that deals with this and how there's a debate about labeling nuclear waste sites for future generations. the main fear is even if they make the site look imposing it could make someone think something cool was there.

Plan B in case Bushwacker inevitably fucks up shooting fish in a barrel.

Really making a strong case for New Ross. Nice to see someone using their brain on the Hulk again.

What a good idea to give Hulk a new weakness, legit.

Why doesn't he just transform into savage hulk or the hulk from secret wars. Those hulks didn't have the night requirements.

Had a feeling that what she'd turn to.

What did he lie about?

Because he can’t.

The whole statement is actually very fitting for the vibe Ewing goes for Immortal Hulk, in fact.
>The danger is in a particular location... It increases toward a center... The center of danger is here... Of a particular size and shape, and below us.

>I have to look at the artists name an remember it.
That would be Joe Bennett. Take a look at the variant cover for this issue.

Attached: D1esTouXgAAGJNU.jpg:orig.jpg (1024x792, 175K)

pretty sure it would be "Here laid Rick Jones"

I have seen the concept on Bennett's insta and it looks pretty dope.
I wonder what Rick will turn into since she merged her two previous personas in one.

>subtle

He is going to be fine

>Joe Fixit
Alright, alright, alright. I'm an Ewing fan and I've been growing to really dig and enjoy Hulk's lore here, but as you can imagine, I wasn't a Hulk fan before this.
Could you do me a solid and point me to what I can read about Joe Fixit? I know he was a gangster bodyguard of sorts, but that's about it.

As Above
So Below

Supposedly, Loeb's books aren't. But then again I never read them.

By the way, now the solicitations for the upcoming issues make sense, when they say "But it's not the IMMORTAL HULK" and "not the one you think". Imagine that, they still can keep secrets without spoiling everything.
This is my first foray into Hulk and it's been great, and the fact that both Al and Joe are The Thing fans have ramped up this body horror madness in ways I can't help but love.
There's an Immortal Hulk Vol.1 hardcover coming out soon in June, collecting #1-12. I'd hold off until then, if you want an oversized collection. Otherwise you can go grab the three trades already available.

Not again!

>joe's back
Well, even as a human, he can still beat Bushwacker.

So is Gamma radiation just Movie Monster radiation?
Like, is Marvel's Godzilla Gamma powered?

Love the body horror change how it’s nog just him growing big

Well normal Godzilla is atomic anyways
Btw American Kajiu is, along with some other things

What a bunch of pretentious bullshit just have skulls and shit like WARNING, DANGER, DEATH, RADIATION, DON'T ENTER and other shit. Assuming future generations can translate into modern English they'd get the meaning over. "This is not a place of honor" and "no esteemed dead" . How far up their own assess were the guys who wrote this

Devil is basically a reflection of Bruce’s need for a dad but the only image he has of one is based on his terrible dad, Joe is a reflection of Banners greed, and lust and his actual desire to do bad things

>the Immoral Hulk
>Hulk goes to jail for robbing a store, tells the judge it's the police at fault for arresting him

Why is he turning into joe then?

What he means is that he can't pick and choose which personality he's going to bring to the front. Currently it's the Devil Hulk persona at the wheel, but the sudden shock of, again, getting blasted with solar emissions and getting shot without dying pushed him to the back, and the one who came to the front was Joe.

Probably because of the sunlight weapons fucking with his changing, it lets the other hulks escape

Joe fixit is the original hulk, but he doesn’t really become joe fixit until peter David’s run on the hulk which is a good place to start online since a lot of it’s out of print

The original because he's gray, right? And back then he could also speak fluently without hurdles.

the way I see it, the sunlight just prevents the physical transformation of the hulks. in which case, joe would be the best personality to take over for the moment since he's probably the most experienced and versed with gun fights while the other hulks would just ignore/tank them.

Holy fuck

Imagine Joe Pesci from Casino as a Hulk, that's Joe Fixit

same, I haven't been excited for any comic in years, just kept buying a few titles cause of habit not interest, then Immortal Hulk came along and made me look forward to Wednesday's again.

Jesus imagine Harpy Betty going full feral and straight up tries to violate fuck banner and doesn’t care if she kills her cause he’ll just come back

Looks like he is going to dwell more in Banner's phycology and the overall Hulk's mythology in thi arc and he is doing a damn good job so far.
Dunno if it is going to dethrone PAD's run in terms of importance.

This and Avengers No Road Home have really revitalized my interest. Ewing just really hits the right notes for me for some reason.

I don’t think he can. I think Devil Hulk is suppressing the other Hulks.

Attached: imagine.png (932x974, 672K)

Not yet. But it's getting pretty damn close to GOAT.

So what I'm getting here is I should be reading Peter David's and Paul Jenkin's run of the Hulk (Which one should I start with? Spoonfeed me here fellas)

No, but it's fun, I'll give you that.

I mean how would Bruce react to a jacked Betty harpy violently fucking him during the day

I might actually prefer big tittied Red Harpy more than Red She Hulk.

At least she realized how much it sucks to be Bruce

Nobody sees the giant red harpy mere feet away?

Just got in the thread. What got deleted?

Hulk is going to stretch out Betty’s bird holes.

Does she grow a cloaca when she's transformed into the Red Harpy?

Who the hell is Joe? Is that Grey Hulk? I thought Grey Hulk was Mr. Fixit.

I don't think so. Its pandering to roll out one hulk personality after another.

Also the high horse bible stuff applied to green spandex people is the reason the Snyder movies failed.

the Snyder movies failed because Zack Snyder is an idiot. Bible stuff can work fine in superhero media if the writer isn't an idiot.

>Also the high horse bible stuff applied to green spandex people is the reason the Snyder movies failed.
Pretty sure these movies failed because Snyder is a hack who can't do subtle symbolism, misinterpret the themes of the stuff he's adapting, and overall has the analytical mindset of a teenager discovering Bill Hicks for the first time.
There's no "high horse bible stuff" anyway, unless you're frankly too lazy to interpret their context within the story being told in first place. I swear it's people like you who want comic books to be always punchfest with zero depth.

that was more meta than literal, it is not like the guilt from Bruce got removed after that

still devil hulk told samson in the previous issue that the true monster (guilt hulk) has been torn into pieces and locked away

wonder how long until devil hulk becomes more monster like

Attached: devil hulk.gif (250x240, 22K)

What other gamma personas has Rick had?

I only know of A-Bomb

That’s honestly hilarious.

will this be better or worse than savage banner?

I like Red Harpy for Betty since Red Shulk while awesome, was a bit too derivative of Jen

This gives Betty something a bit more unique.

I hope she pulls out her BFS from Fear Itself now

>true monster (guilt hulk)

He wasn't talking about Guilt Hulk but rather the Hulk from Secret Empire (literal killing machine), the Hulk that happened when they made Bruce's corpse hulk out, a "bruceless Hulk".
Devil Hulk was the one putting him out for good noticing how dangerous he was (he most likely did that to the other too since he is no longer trapped)

Jen is savage right now though, wouldn't seeing Betty as a pretty SHulk be a good mind fuck?

He's actually a pretty bog standard artist otherwise

>Hulk from Secret Empire (literal killing machine), the Hulk that happened when they made Bruce's corpse hulk out, a "bruceless Hulk".

The Hand also tried that in Uncanny Avengers fwiw

>personas has Rick had
dude, he had a few.
From the top of my mind:

>Could switch places with Mar-Vell (and later Genis)
>Eventually he ended up getting to use Mar-Vell's powers by himself
>Beyonder made him superman
>Had super-intelligence/hacking skills during Secret Wars, can't really remember the reason why he got them
>A-Bomb
>being the host of the Destiny Force

The latter is the most likely to get a reference basides A-Bomb (his link with the force is innate so he can't really lost it)

what if Rick just comes out normal, like he's just completely normal and only remembers being Hulks friend.

The idea is they might not know what 'radiation' is and see the skulls and think 'hey there might be money in here.", like we did with ancient burial grounds.

That's why I specified Gamma powered personas

I don't know if the Captain Marvell powers would count towards these Gamma Green Door resurrections.

Destiny Force maybe, but it's so abstract that I don't know how it would even change A-Bomb

whose heart were they using to poor blood all over him?

What happened to red she hulk anyway I don't follow comics so one day red she hulk just disappeared to me

depowered by Doc Green with all the other gamma people

>along with some other things
More like everything.
Pym particles, lizard formula, you name it and there's a good chance they put it in him.

He has dethroned PAD, as far as I'm concerned.
I always though PAD's run was over-rated;
His best ideas came from Mantlo's arc, wish he would have stayed around.
Pantheon saga with Prof Hulk was utterly unreadable.
Immortal Hulk is best thing Marvel has going right now.
Hope it translates to the MCU before they bury Hulk with the rest of the originals.

>Guilt Hulk becomes the fucking strong due to Bruce's guilt over shit like Betty hating him, being unable to save Rick from dying, and shit like that

Is Devil Hulk isn't interested in murdering and eating people, what is the difference then between him and Savage Hulk?

Was that run good?

I have so much fucking catchip up with Hulk. I actually just want to read Immortal... I really liked Greg Pak's run... Red Hulk was fun on that Lemire book. Did he got depowered too?

What is up with all these personalities? Dumb hulk, Joe Fixit, Professor Hulk, ok... but then there's Worldbreaker Hulk, Doc Green, uhm... outrageous hulk as usual?...

>Immortal Hulk is best thing Marvel has going right now.
I'm mainly a Cosmic Marvel guy and I absolutely hate what's going on in that department aside from specific gold nuggets like Bowers/Sims and Landy; and at this point, Immortal Hulk is the only book I truly look forward to read every month, with only other two (Champions and Doctor Strange) following close... But not too close.

I wanna see a sequence of betty turning into red harpy

Devil Hulk will fucking torture you and probably leave your immortal body in a ditch for eternity, Savage Hulk will just smash your shit in.

not really

I thought maybe the immortal gamma dude from earlier in this run that they captured

Hulk buried home alive

Dell Frye's son? Very likely, the heart was growing full green.

that guy looked like a corpse though, and that heart looked pretty huge.

How are things in Australia?

Reminder that after Banner had completely reverted to a savage persona, Doc Samson and Ross made some kind of a 'bath' which they used to separate Banner from Hulk,
Whelp, when that happened, Rick managed to fall into the 'bath' unaware of the others and turned into a stream-lined version of the Hulk, with long hair.
That was somewhere around IH#330 (off the top of my head), or just a few issues before PAD took over.
I'm not sure how it was reconciled that Rick quit turning into that Hulk.

>That's why I specified Gamma powered personas
shit i didn't read the gamma part, my bad.
well he tried to mess with gamma rays before but he just got sick from it, a pretty common outcome.
He might have got some gamma-related powers before that i just don't know about though.

Did the Hulk got all his parts back after he reformed? I remember only some of them being in the jars and they were messing with his heart when we were first introduced to the lab.
He might have regenerated his heart and left the old one there, i should check the old issue

possibly, the entire series was story timed yesterday so it should be easy to find.

speaking of kid hulks where the hell are his sons?

He did, he reassembled every single part of his body from the jars and consumed the scientist. As far as I'm aware, there was no body part left, and his heart was sectioned anyway, so it wouldn't have leaked the way it was shown.

Abomination’s. They recovered a bunch of him a couple of issues ago.

didn't it reform?

Skaar and the Warbound apparently wanted to go back to Sakaar

Blonsky?

well Devil Hulk at least retains some intelligence but he'd not averse to murder actually. you don't remember him killing those guys in the 1st chapter? plus he's also likely to intentionally leave you in a miserable state.

I do hope abomination comes back as a good guy even he's one of my favorite villains if only because of his relation to hulk

lame

Yes.

when was this I don't remember that at all

Between this and Aaron reverting and keeping Jen fucked up without explanation, why can't we have a nice looking She-hulk?

Can you make out his heart from this reforming mess?
The heart was put in a transparent canvas before this happened, though. It wasn't taken away.

Sexy Red Harpy is honestly a better persona than a She-Hulk knockoff

no I mean he sliced it in half and then it reformed

Attached: yes, it did.png (452x453, 470K)

I thought we were debating whether the heart poured onto Rick Jones' corpse was Hulk's based on that issue?
Because yeah, it was reformed , but it also merged with the Devil Hulk so he didn't leave any piece behind.

i don't remember this at all, was this mentioned in the Ross' issue?

It's kind of trippy how Gamma Radiation is now magic monster energy.

Before she was literally Shulk but red and with the asian red streak in her hair
this is the most inspired design she ever had

Dude, it’s always been magic monster energy.

Okay yeah point made. I was mostly referring to the Hell shit but yes its bullshit

Well we don't know how "sexy" she'll be, given what the old harpy looked like and Marvel's prudishness. Though I do see your point. Really, I just want Jen back to normal.

and now she's literally Harpy but red

I feel you. I don't like the new Jen, who's now a big ugly dumb monster that keeps reverting back to normal. She's more of a Hulk knockoff than ever. I thought the entire point was Jennifer embracing the change?
But he's right, this is better for Betty. Harpy was always her persona, the Red twist just gives it that extra kick. It's WAY better than her being a different flavor of She-Hulk

In the 80s i saw a mention in a capeshit RPG of a character's backstory involving being raped. I thought that was unusually harsh, since until then capeshit was 'impossible people with impossible problems'. The Miller's Dark Knight Returns made all superheroes have to be grim, serious, political and 5% military BDSM to even exist. The 90s gave us the 'poor me' thing that endures to this day and people think it's a given that you can blerf about your tough life and have it explain and excuse your issues.

We're stuck in a degenerate era of superheroes that are inward, morbid and self-involved. Stories that aren't about archetypes aren't about anything.

Wondering if there will be a resurgence of meaningful stories that inspire, instead of this endless treadmill of spectacular power tripping. It would take quality writing and wouldn't require good art at all, a good story can be told with stick figures and smudges. The next level will merge timeless values with novelty ugliness then rise above both. The biggest challenge is that we, the public, the marketplace, have been trained to eat shit and reject anything that isn't easily digestible slime.

this design is much better than the original and isn't a derivate since she was Harpy to begin with.

Ol' boy had a bit of a moment.
Maybe he hit the bottle a lil early.

are you trying to push a new pasta? Sorry but "this is my last post on Yea Forums" can't be topped.

You mean to tell me the best version of Bruce Banner isn't even Bruce Banner? Disappointed.

this feels like a Quentin post

It was in the Ross funeral issue, Shadow Base talked about how they recovered some of “Subject B” (as in Blonsky) but a lot of him was still near Jupiter. In his last appearance, Abomination had been teleported to Jupiter.

>We're stuck in a degenerate era of superheroes that are inward, morbid and self-involved.
That's because they're written by SJWs, who are inward, morbid, and self-involved.

Any idea, roundabout what 'issue' that would be?
Last I knew of the Abomination, Rulk killed him.

I forgot about this, yeah. But then again I didn't quite understand that because I wasn't privy to these deep lore aspects of Hulk, and Ewing hasn't used the * references in this run.

Let's be clear here:
Hulk was never meant to be a super-hero or a role model.
It was always sold first as horror, and then tragedy.
Go read SuperFag.

You guys think Ross should "evolve" into something other than Rulk? A persona of his own? The unstable radiation is a good first step.

You realize you're talking about Hulk, right? The representation not only of all the horrors of humanity through its weapons of mass destruction, but also the twisted Id of Bruce Banner?

Why is the General taking readings like some common lab technician?

Enough people have tanked bullets to the skull this run that I'm hoping he's fine.

HOW’S ANNIE?

a lot of time and money has gone into figuring out how to future-proof dump-sites like that, including what geometric symbols and structures we find the most inherently disturbing without being taught any meaning, so that even an human thats gone feral will get bad vibes from the place and keep away.
that message is written for the scenario in which all society gets wiped out by a disaster yet again, and all knowledge of radiation gets lost. we've also been leaving rosetta stones around the place to speed up them figuring out how to translate our languages as quickly as possible once they develop written language of their own

I honestly like the design for Shulkie over in Avengers but I hate that she's Savage Hulk With Tits now.

>phallo-fascists
Who are these SJWs?

supposedly there's some new ones going out with binary and other computer knowledge.

Think of how Egyptian hieroglyphics seem to us, and to explorers.
And also think how all the warning hieroglyphics in the world didn't stop thieves or archeologists.

Now imagine what a modern nuclear waste dump will look like to explorers from 4000 years in the future, and how might we keep them from killing themselves or worse.

man>man go near symbol>man fall down to knees>man lie face down>man turn to bones>people go near bones>people also turn to bones

Really curious about what the hell Abomination's new design looks like.

the monster from the black lagoon meets the monster from jeepers kreepers

so Swamp Thing?

"Hmmm what does this mean? Looks like something in this place makes people turn into logs of wood"

"this must describe an ancient tale about how people transform into wood. we must push forward!"

So did the solar emitters awaken this persona or has he been there all of Immortal run?

human skeletons aren't going to change that drastically in 10,000 years, why would they think its wood?

It depends on how detailed the drawing will be, user. Would they be cartoony bones or hyper-detailed ones?
Also a simple sequence like that isn't descriptive enough. There needs to be something in between that shows how someone goes from kneeling to pile of bones.

cave drawings, the symbol is the in between, it literally the second thing, put it twice if you have to.

more like a lizard-ish thing with head grabbers

so this dude with frills

And people compare this to PAD's legendary run.

I don't get it, are the other Hulks still Bruce and they're just not calling themselves him?

It's not, I and other anons have posted it a few times myself to make sure the tradition is kept

Dissociative identity disorder

"oh they believed in spooky skeletons. Let's take these glowy rocks back to the museum."

Why an human Hulk is stronger than a gorilla Hulk?

bam, screen cap it

OG Hulk has the Juice.
Maybe, also a response to the above:
Bruce is monumentally fucked in the head.

why is it these slower, more build-heavy issues have more thread longevity, while stuff the Hulk in Hell arc, #7, etc., barely last the past the afternoon?

It depends on the discussion, because back then these issues had more post-storytime discussion in other threads, while storytimes like these are more long-winded because of the lore involved. TOBA stuff was basically new.

Is it ever possible to heal Bruce's mind?

Maybe Prof X

He needed elite mental health help before he got gamma'd, now? No fucking way. Every time he is able to integrate all personalities he turns into the Maestro, that's a bad sign.

What kind of ending awaits Bruce Banner in general then?

The only good ends Banner has ever had involved getting the hulk to stop fighting, but that's always been an analogy for death. So Banner's good end is his broken mindscape all agreeing to die, which is pretty fucking dark.

It's his destiny.

Is there really no way to avoid that?

Attached: 148789247171.png (842x553, 259K)

welcome to cape comics bay-beeeeeeeeeeeeee

Multiple stories involve the Hulk surviving a nuclear end of the world. Hulk: the End Banner just wants to die and eventually does, of a sort, leaving just Hulk alone on the Earth. In what I believe I a different alternate future, Hulk survives a nuclear apocalypse and becomes a "Merged Hulk" incarnation (both Hulk and Banner) and becomes a tyrant. In the Old Man Logan-verse, Bruce himself goes a little weird in the head presumably after the world gets messed up, and starts an incest hillbilly family of bullies and raiders with Jennifer Walters before being killed by Logan.

There aren't a lot of good ends for Hulk or Banner.

Attached: The only thing we have to feel is feel itself.jpg (601x698, 202K)

Nope. It was probably the one thing from Duggan that I flat out hated. Doc Green was a colossal tool of a Hulk persona and the whole run was basically just a means to an end of depowering the other Hulks

Will he have to do it on his own then?

Hulk The End in its original text form was set so far in the future the Maestro could have came and went, suggesting that even after all the bad futures there is still no healthy ending for Bruce Banner other than figurative death as the Hulk is left cold and alone on a barren Earth

Ironically, one of the few good endings he got was in a What-If story where the illuminati's plan was successful and he wound up on the paradise planet he was supposed to land on. He's completely alone, but he does finally find peace with himself.

>I have to read alot of Hulk now so this is depressing to hear
There's this very modern Randian-individualist idea that no matter how bad your intial circumstances with enough hard work and elbow grease anybody can grab themselves by their own bootstraps and lift themselves up. The Hulk is designed as a modern day horror story specifically to offend that ideal. Banner is a good guy who's broken by circumstances out of his control (his abusive father) and no matter how hard he tries he can't fix it (which is the joe fix'it inside joke, as a gangster he can fix any problem but as a man he can fix any problem but himself.) Yeah it's depressing but Banner as a character is interesting because of the dichotomy.

That's nice. I think I should read that.

Don't take the cheap way out, user.
Read the Pain.

Nice post, btw.

>He should have built up some toba stuff
They've mentioned the Green Door and TOBA in literally every issue leading up to that. Are you actually retarded?

Wouldn't that just make it worse down the road when it inevitably fails?

That's under the assumption that the future generations are gonna be drooling tribals right out of Fallout and not suitably advanced or knowledgeable especially if they can understand modern English. The flowery language is completely for the writers to jerk themselves off with; a simple straight to the point message is better but artists are gonna artist I guess

Napoleonic and Victorian archeologists were suitably advanced and even then they couldn't really understand hyrogliphics.
And when they could understand the warnings, THEY IGNORED THEM.
Clearly the "Deadly curses will come upon tomb robbers" approach didn't work.

Isn't Spider Man supposed to offend that ideal too?

>THEY IGNORED THEM
The elephant in the room, even if they understand 9/10 they're gonna go anyway for the off chance theres a rare plasma rifle or high quality power armor

Didn't he also hang out with Cap for a while too

I just read Avengers Forever so to see Rick go from the most important thing in shaping humanity's future to this is sad.

>He should have built up some toba stuff.
He did. Since issue two. Just because you didn't pay attention...

>Two mouths
>Two heads
Oh, FUCK NO.

Well that was unexpected. Terribly stupid, but unexpected.

Damn it, how the fuck does Ewing manage to pull off these cliffhangers and "oh fuck" moments month after month?

She's a Harpy, but she doesn't have a fat bird lower body with a regular female upper torso anymore.

It's streamlined, and seems to be like a good medium between Harpy and Red She-Hulk

The old Harpy design was just ugly looking and hard to take seriously. This new red monstrous version has a chance at actually lasting

Sorry, if this is the wrong place to ask but what happened to Amadeus Cho? I don't keep up with Hulk comics, but I'm a fan of Cho pre-Hulkification. I didn't really like his run as a legacy character, so I didn't bother keeping up with him. The last I heard was that Cho finally stopped being a hulk.

He's still a member of the Champions, but he's been depowered significantly and as such ain't The Hulk anymore.

Thank fucking god. Hopefully, he can return back to his earlier days of being a math genius. It's really hard to believe Cho is/was the seventh smartest person on Earth based purely on his Hulk escapades.

He's still gamma powered, but he's lost a lot of mass and presumably strength

He basically looks like a male classic She-Hulk now. A green skinned tall dude.
Or an orc

He goes by the codename Brawn now

sure but short terms gains user thing about the short term gains!

wait seriously he just looks like Hulkling?

We already have a pasta, go somewhere else with this

The whole one under all was rather underwhelming. Was it really Banner's dad back from the dead or just a copy, and for something that is the culmination of all things evil getting pushed out of the beam of the light is a pretty lackluster end.

Oh shit, just realized Banner's grey here

Yeah it’s a really bad sign when the most complete version of you is a evil dystopian dictator

Yeah he’s actually happy in that one and becomes a protective deity figure for the aliens there, blows for Bruce though

Hulkling is blonde, and he can make himself wings or centaur legs.

But yeah more or less.

How many more issues will it take before they finally completely depower him? Or at least give him tech-based powers that more aligns with his original character.

good thing Bruce doesn't have an elite gamma'd psychiatrist - oh wait...

So i guess Bruce went dormant so another personality could take over and deal with this, of was he joe the second the lights switched?

Under Ditko, Spider-Man was very much meant to be a Randian hero.

"If This Be My Destiny" was Peter finally overcoming his guilt over Uncle Ben's death by saving Aunt May's life and becoming a fully-realized, independent man.

Of course, that can't be allowed in serialized fiction, so he's the eternal manchild now.

>That whole description about how a real monster works.
I love it.

Fusing Rick and Blonsky's remains into A-Bombination.

>Ayn "here's your wordy licence to be a douche all your life" Rand is going to tell anybody how to be a 'fully realized man'.
yeah nah, Ditko's a hack

Yeah, Ditko's boner for objectivism is why early Peter is a fucking dick.

I don't like Ayn Rand or her philosophy, but I appreciate that Ditko wanted Peter to evolve as a character. He's just a bad writer who is incapable of subtlety and needed Stan Lee to keep him from going full Fountainhead.

Since the generals basically past the point of no return how do you think he’s gonna end up?

>This new red monstrous version has a chance at actually lasting

Lord, I hope so. I haven't been this hyped up over a reveal in ages. Can't wait to see how Betty's personality gets twisted in this form.

Even worse was Quesada's decision to have a story featuring Peter dealing with the Devil

Don't tell me that this was Rick Jones after being emerged from the cocoon

Amadeus Cho - The Technosuperior Cybulk

and then everyone should give him shit for having such a stupid name, and he should be decked out in techno punk gear and get made fun of for that later on by Deathlock leaving him slack jawed

Joe took over when Bruce took cover after being shot.

Nobody tell him.

>Was it really Banner's dad back from the dead or just a copy
It was him.
>for something that is the culmination of all things evil getting pushed out of the beam of the light is a pretty lackluster end
It's not the last thing we'll see of the One Below All, though. That arc served as an introduction of the concept before going back to more "grounded" arcs, but it's clear from its conclusion that it will be revisited, to the point that it's never clear who's the narrator (and it's not Ewing himself in any case).
Also I remember people really digging everything that was happening, but also a lot of confusion. Ewing has huge ideas and knows his gnosticism/kabbalah stuff, but you can't go too deep into it without alienating most readers.

>Two mouths
>Two heads
Wait wh-
Oh FUCK I didn't even notice this. They even have the "I'm in two minds about this" saying. God I'm dumb.

Neither did I. It's one of those 'you don't notice it, until you do, but when you do, you can't look away'. Fuck.

i love how grossed out and uncomfortable doc samson is

I say go the other way

Have him start throwing together all of the gear he's accumulated over the years on top of his mini Hulk form

Hercules' adamantine mace
Ant-Man's helmet from Mighty Avengers
The Calvin Klein AI suit from Savage Wolverine

He could be like a low budget Maestro

They really did just fuse A-bomb with Abomination didn't they?

Given all the other stupid decisions Shadow Base has made, yes, they most certainly did.

>you don't remember him killing those guys in the 1st chapter?
If you're talking about the Dogs of Hell, we're specifically told they were hospitalized but aren't dead since they were all eager to give their witness report on what happened.
One guy he's definitely killed so far is the scientist, maybe the lab creatures, he made some blunt attempts on Creel and in hell but at that point they weren't mortal enough to mortally wound, just incapacitate.

He also ate the tiger demons in Defenders. Oh and snapped Hypnos' neck, in No Road Home. But the only human was the scientist, and that was basically absorbing him into his body after he sliced and bottled him up.

Those were leopards, not tigers.

remind me, what happened in Iowa?

Was it first time they showed it? Did they explain why is it like that now?

Tony Stark used an orbital solar laser to put him down, and in the process they destroyed a whole town, that had to be evacuated in short notice. The Avengers then gave his body to the government, which in turn gave it to Shadow Base, where they proceeded to dissect him.
>Was it first time they showed it?

I think Ewing's said he's going for more body horror elements since Bennett's expressed interest and design concepts, and they're challenging each other to up the other.

I hope Bushwhacker and Fortean get very very bad ends.

Bushwacker is definitely going to have something terrible happen to him.

Fortean I could see either dying, getting his career ruined, or coming out perfectly fine with his position protecting him from any blowback. It depends on how far Devil Hulk is willing to go and how far Banner is willing to let Hulk go.

No way Fortean's getting out of this unscathed seeing how Clive got eaten after he left Frye suffering in constant pain.

Mantlo's run where Banner finally got control of the Hulk persona, went nuts, then completely savage.
Mantlo was the first to toy with giving the Hulk different personas.
Byrne took up the mantle next, not for long, and then David took over.
I'd start with Incredible Hulk #288 and go from there.

It is very hard to take bushwhacker seriously

>not destroy the world, but instead being a form of protector to Banner
He has, on two separate occasions now, stated that his end goal is to destroy the world in order to protect Banner.

>Eventually he ended up getting to use Mar-Vell's powers by himself
IIRC he was better at using the nega-bands than Mar-vell since he had more psionic energy and because of it did crazier shit.

Yeah, Ewing is also going to do a story for Cate's GotG Annual and I am looking forward to reading that mostly because of the possibility of Ewing writing Darkhawk, Cosmo, Nova or Quasar (Tini is writing the Adam Warlock story).

Ewing probably won't write Cosmo or Nova, because I'm sure Cates wants to be wacky and score points by writing the talking dog, or the easy nerd points with Nova (even though I doubt he could write either). My money is on Quasar, but it could go either way.

>they still can keep secrets without spoiling everything.
Maybe because this is still a low priority book for Marvel and most of the editors and leakers probably are concentrated in the event books.

>Maybe because this is still a low priority book for Marvel
user... It's poised to outsell Venom if it hasn't already, with the constant reprintings. It's a consistent top 20 seller as well every month, and Ewing had enough pull to keep it away from events, unlike the aforementioned Venom. Every single one of its issues has Alex Ross' covers too, which can't be cheap. It's only "low priority" in the sense that they don't want to force it into other series.
I think the main reason why it has been successful is partially because of what you said though, editors have been hands off and allow them plenty of creative freedom to do whatever they want.

That's some HR Geiger looking place.

Like a true Abomination.

You misjudge me, I love this book and it's doing good but I don't think Marvel even expected it to be this good and they are mostly leaving it alone for that reason hence low priority. It's taking care of itself.

Hopefully they don't mess with it.

Judging from the solicits Cosmo is going to be helping the others and since the overall story as a whole is Cates' he probably will handle Cosmo's side. I can see Ewing doing Quasar since he likes all those crazy cosmic stuff and there is still the continuity issues with Avril and how the quantum bands came back to Wendell. I think Ewing would be into that shit. Also Darkhawk is the most underrated of those characters and he had that thing with Starhawk so I can see Ewing playing with him too.

Yeah, it's definitely between those two, I believe Pat Zircher is going to write Adam Warlock and he has sort of been teasing something about Warlock in general, maybe he'll end up writing a book, so this is a good launching pad.
If only Ewing thought about writing Quasar as an ongoing, I'd cum buckets right then and there, he's one of my favorite cosmic characters.

Tini Howard already confirmed that she's writing the Warlock story and Ibrahim Moustafa is her artist.
>twitter.com/TiniHoward/status/1106250444622442497

I don't know if Patrick Zircher is involved but artist Yildiray Cinar is definitely involved and he's been tweeting art of Nova, Quasar, and Silver Surfer that he made.

Oh durr, I got confused because I saw Zircher doing stuff with Warlock today. I know Silver Surfer is taken already, it's just not clear who are doing the rest yet.

"Oh look, this can bring the dead back to life."

Not everyone reads in the same direction, user.

that's why there's arrows stupid

Is the Hulk truly a beloved hero like the edit says he is though?

The Hulk in general just seems like a tragedy rather than a heroic tale like Spider Man.

Of course not. Obvious shitposting aside, while the Hulk has had numerous heroic moments throughout the years, it has always been more or less making the best of a bad situation than true altruism.

But then again the same thing could be said of a lot of Marvel heroes, especially Spider-Man.

It's for the best. Red Harpy is for headpats.

Wait so is this actually the devil hulk? What makes him different from the other smart hulks? Maestero, Green Scar, or Doc Green? Also this Hulk doesn't seem that evil or mean? Just calculative which I swear is something Doc Green did right?

>Green Scar
was all about bellic art, a persona created as if he was born and raised on Sakaar.

>Doc Green
Hulk+Extremis, was all about innovation and taking out threats before they become one.

>Maestro
Is a future version we don't really know how he got there.

As for Devil Hulk, he seems to resent humanity a lot. I guess that's a trait he shares with Green Scar although for different reasons.
Also seems to be pretty sadistic given that he put his enemies in despair before dealing with them. And he is the most protective of Banner so far.

I think Maestro, Green Scar and Doc Green all hated Banner

Devil Hulk has a paternal love for Banner, he's protective of him, and vengeful against people who hurt him

I think the implication was that Doc Green was heading down the road of becoming the Maestro

well he was the one to come the closest in killing all the heroes.

Didn't Green Scar and Bruce were on relatively good terms? Like when Green Scar showed the alien queen who Bruce was and she said something along the lines that she loved them both as a whole? and when the planet exploded Bruce was furious too

Attached: RCO021_1465444433.jpg (1043x1600, 385K)

during the Samson talk Devil Hulk pointed out the whole reptilian demon thing was just Bruce's perception of him, he is never going to look more bestial than it already is, and I'm guessing he is as strong as Green Scar Hulk which it was basically when Bruce and Hulk worked together for the same goal.

better since Joe is actually intelligent or at least clever.

wasn't that just Brian combining Bruce's fears by adopting the looks his most feared personality? I don't recall him outright stating he took the guilt hulk from Bruce.

Crafty, Joe is crafty.

Yes Green Scar didn't hate Bruce it even let some of his personality fuse withing him, and by the time World War Hulk started they were both working together since they were both angry at the Illuminati

>their human forms are in love and trying to be together while their Hulks are trying to kill each other and keep them apart

I'd be up for that.

isn't that a reverse of back when Loeb was writing and pretty much made Bruce and Betty hate each other but Hulk and red Shulkie only wanted to fuck ?

So how smart are the hulks? And whose the smartest? Savage and rage hulk seem to be pretty low but devil does seem to be pretty smart but Banner himself said his intelligence is based more on intuition and magical thinking while joe seems to be like a crafty gangster whose quicker to improvise

The professor is probably the smartest Hulk of them all since he is literally drawing his intelligence from Banner, after all he is Bruce superego which is the way he idealize himself.

>Wait so is this actually the devil hulk?
Yes.

>this Hulk doesn't seem that evil or mean?
He's the only Hulk that has explicitly murdered a human. He's also a sadist that enjoys torturing his victims, has the stated goal of destroying the human world, and enjoys belittling or messing with the hero community.

I wouldn't say he's necessarily "evil," but he's absolutely a mean mother fucker. Shit, in No Surrender, he hospitalized multiple heroes and fucked Vision up so bad that Vision is currently dieing.

he is born from Bruce's rigtheous anger at his father and everyone who wronged him, he is also made out of his need from protection, no wonder he is quite jaded to the rest of the world.

> In No Surrender, he hospitalized multiple heroes and fucked Vision up so bad that Vision is currently dieing
Damn, that's impressive even for Hulk.

>Shirt's still on
Boo. Let that beautiful plumage free.

Doc Green eclisped Profeesor Hulk thanks to Extremis super charging Hulk's brain beyond Banner's normal intellect.

So it's basically:
>Doc Green
>Professor Hulk/Banner Hulk
>Green Scar
>Gray Hulk
>Savage Hulk
>Mindless Hulk

I did a tally on that No Surrender path of destruction one time.
I think the count was fifteen good guys and two bad guys (and whatever he did to the one guy made Grandmaster gag).

Jesus hulk could’ve been happy if the planet didn’t fucking explode, also but I’d it cheating if it’s through the hulk?

there's also world breaker hulk

Ohh, it just hit me that his eyes tuned gray.

Worldbreaker is just really angry Green Scar, right?

world breaker Hulk is Green Scar Hulk

So that's why her mouth looked fucked up in that one full body shot, it's like it's halfway to being a beak.

Also this.

You forgot Devil Hulk and Kluh.

And Chad Hulk from the 90's, Gravage Hulk I think.

See their descriptions kinda just overlap and stuff.

Of course they do...
Banner is completely fucked in the head.

Damn

Is that all of them at once? Damn gnarly.

Where's Kluh?

>Kluh
He's not an alternate persona of Hulk.
If he was around that would mean all the inverted characters would still have their inverted personalities in their heads.

You can really tell Bennett loves drawing body warping.

And don't forget Marie Severin's Hulk above that one. The Gray Hulk underneath him escapes me, though.

And are those heads on the right just Devil Hulk variations, or other personalities?

But they said he was the Hulk's Hulk.

I wonder if it might get used at some point where all the hulks end up manifesting at the same time.

Just not seeing Severin's Hulk there, user;
But I truly did enjoy the first Giant Sized Hulk with the Inhumans.

Maybe it's just my eyes, but it put me in mind of Severin's early Hulk artwork. I know that can't be the Professor, because then Bennett would've just drawn Dale Keown's version.

I don't know, I'm just grasping at straws here, but I know I've seen that version before.

Oh man Bushwacker's boned.

Well solicits said the new Abomination has “the face of a friend.”

My only fear is that the design won't be used/will get tweaked outside of an horror book like this
Other than that looks damn cool, best design for gamma Betty so far

Imagine her fangs tickling the sides of your dick as she gently bobs back and forth until she swallows your gamma load.

>Hulk is now Split™
Sorry, I'm not a hulk fan

>now

They need to make a Hulk movie along these lines.

If they ever went into all the personalities, the abusive childhood and all that, it would work a lot better as a series. Would need a hell of a budget to do the Hulk scenes, but a lot of flashbacks and Banner talking to inner voices and shit.

That'd get hold after 2-3 episodes. It would have to be a very short series.

old*

The first Hulk tried to do a psychological touch, with the whole mirror scene and all the talk of how his childhood messed him up and his talks with Betty, but people just scoffed and asked where was the Smash and why was he fighting dogs and clouds?

Fuck man, if she looks half as freaky in the book itself, this will be good.

Jesus fuck

green scar and banner actually worked together.
sure there was some resentment during planet hulk, but after the explosion that killed half the population and caiera, green scar and banner came to an agreement and worked together and had a Mutual goal.
doc green hated banner and maestro was just a fucked up older version

the main problem with ang lee's hulk movie is that he turned hulk from a being of rage into a being of angst
add the retarded made up for the movie growing larger with anger, wrong color green, average cgi and those dogs yeah you have a disliked movied

Oh yeah I completely forgot that Hulk and Banner thought it was the Illuminati who set off the bomb

>Kluh
I remembered well a Górsky and Butch comic (a Polish comic) where they presented a parody of Hulk that was named Kluh. It was long before Axis.

where do I start with the PAD run? 331?

remember that one time hulk wanted to mate with she-hulk

Attached: hulk want snu snu.jpg (400x445, 57K)

and then this was never brought up again and ignored

Attached: hulk want snu snu2.jpg (679x1024, 162K)

There was a Kluh in the MU way before Axis also

Really? Man, that's getting complex.

was it ever explained what happened to the mindless hulk that got trapped/stuck inside nightmare's dimension ages ago?

I don't hate the quotes like some folks around here (they're not nearly as bad as the shitty one-sentence messages at the beginning of each issue of the new run of X-Men), but I think this is the first time one of them was legitimately interesting. The story behind it is great, too.

I left out Kluh because I forgot about him, but honestly it wouldn't make sense to include him since the inversion and Extremis boost was undone.

Upon further revision and consideration:
>Doc Green
>Professor Hulk/Banner Hulk
>Gray Hulk/Gravage/Devil Hulk
>Savage Hulk
>Mindless Hulk

Chad Hulk is Professor. "Gravage" is that weird incarnation that turns up whenever the Hulk is green, but with the wit and cunning of the Gray, hence the name.

Green Scar is "a" Gravage Hulk, but the Devil Hulk is also technically a "Gravage" Hulk. It's still up for debate if there's even an original Gravage Hulk to begin with, as he first appeared back before the Hulk's characterization was settled.

Technically you need to start with #328, but #331 is fine.

Not really. He just disappeared, although he MIGHT have been the persona that showed up when the Hand temporarily resurrected Banner.

I should mention that the previous Kluh was just an underpowered clone of the Gray Hulk that spoke in Thor's classic olde english. Totally separate entity.

alright thanks, I'll start with 328 then

See Get some background before jumping into PAD.

Jeff Parker's Hulk run any good?

Is this where Banner gets all his gadgets and Cho is seventh smartest?

Yes. He actually made Red Hulk good. Fortean also first showed up there.

No, it's the second Red Hulk run after Loeb's.

i do kinda miss green scar
i get why he isn't around anymore, he's too strong

>I left out Kluh because I forgot about him
I don't blame you. Burn in hell memender, burn in hell.

I wonder how long we are gonna get until we go back to super-scientist banner? I mean it wouldn't make sense for the current psychological based setup arcs but Bannertech mixing Gamma and Old Power was cool as hell even if it was somewhat aping Pym putting his particles in everything.

I think Benner being a big fish only in his field works better, like when Tony needed an anti-radiation suit and asked Bruce to help him build one.

Then you got OML and Hulk's retarded heirs.

IDK, in terms of strength and competency I feel Devil Hulk matches Green Scar quite decently, the only real weakness Devil Hulk has over Green Scar is that Devil has the time limit of only be able to exist at night time.

Hey, true believers! Surprised to see this thread still up, so I'm gonna take the chance to share this cool What If story from the archives... One of these stories people don't talk much about.

Remember Hulk's adventures in the Microverse? His lover Jarella, Queen of K'ai? Well, as many of you remember, she dies after a faithful encounter with he Crypto-Man and how this marked Hulk's life forever... But What If she never died?

Let's take a look.

Thanks. Enjoyable, but it seems kinda inconsequential. At least Jarella would've stayed alive.

Well yeah, it just shows Hulk's future would've been all about the Microverse instead of being forced to go back to Earth as he eventually did.

thanks user, pity we got to the bump limit

True, but on the other hand, this rarely happens, so it's good we were together for this ride.
