I think that’s what the Ultimate Hulk was supposed to be… “ok, it’s too big for the main team, pull the Hulk out of storage… all done, put him away.” sort of thing…

De,

Yeah, it’s the human angst that makes the good story… it’s easy to become glutted in destroying a city every 2 issues…

Thanks man!
I’ll be sure to check em out (even the one that appears to be about fuzzy animals in mechs).

I have a sense that there are about two dozen good Hulk stories to tell, and they were tapped out with “Hulk vs. the Rain.”

Never been a big Hulk fan, so I could be wrong on that.

I think the whole “the words white and black ALWAYS REFER TO RACE” idea is pretty stupid myself – but the idea of people intentionally pretending to be irate about it is funny, so…

Mark,

Boy…the White Lannterns seems like a concept fraught with peril in regards to political/racial implications…so I suspect you and your friend’s prediction is on the money. :)

Hulk appeals to me not so much because of the Hulk himself but Banner’s constant struggle to deal with his rage-manifested curse. Unfortunately, this theme isn’t touched on nearly as much as I think it should.

I love Asterix too, although I’ve only read him in the (apparently) British translations. (The Chief was always Vitalstatistix in my copies.)

As for Superman, I’ve been really enjoying the past couple years of Atlas and Brainiac and New Krypton and stuff as well. My “I don’t really read comics except what you put in front of me” wife, though, has been absolutely captivated by them. She’s still catching up on the last year or so and keeps asking me, “Who is Superwoman, anyway?” I just tell her to keep reading and smile. Is it art? Probably not, but it is fun.

I was just thinking about the Hulk the other day and it occurred to me that the only two times I’ve ever been really excited to read his book were:

A.) When he was smart, wore glasses, and ran around with the Pantheon; and

B.) When he was Space Spartacus.

Otherwise, I think he’s pretty dull, unless your hero needs to fight someone big and unstoppable for an issue or two (or in a cartoon, such as the “Hulk Vs.” DVD)

A friend reckons that Blackest Night will end with the creation of the White Lanterns, who will basically be angels and who will then resurrect some of the dead heroes. I suspect he may be right.
