She-Hulk

[Obi-Ron]

Book five was okay, if only for closure to the whole Agrajag thing.

 

[Franklin Richards]

I never got around to reading that. Since I seem to be on a semi-classic-books-that-got-made-into-movies kick recently (I just read A Clockwork Orange and I Am Legend before that), I think I'll finally do that. Thanks for reminding me.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest should be on your list.

Issue 36 must have slipped by me or something cause I missed it. Picked up issue #37 though and it's a real shame that this title is being canceled. Peter David is really putting in some solid work with the character. I've heard some rumors of the title being relaunched but not with She-Hulk as the lead.

 

[Manic]

Yeah, they're releasing a Savage She-Hulk comic about some new broad who's the genetic something something blah blah. I really don't care. If it ain't Jen, I ain't readin' it.

 

[Mr. Green]

It's Thundra and Hulk's test tube baby.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, they're releasing a Savage She-Hulk comic about some new broad who's the genetic something something blah blah. I really don't care. If it ain't Jen, I ain't readin' it.

That was my reaction. Not so much because it's not Jen as it is because the Thundra/Hulk kid wasn't interesting at all in the Hulk Family one-shot.

 

[Mr. Green]

Yeah, really. Kind of a pointless character. Van Lente is a good writer though. I imagine the mini could be cool, especially if he has a good art team with him.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It'll probably be readable, at least.

 

[Manic]

Well, I'm not buying it. Mustn't feed the beast.


In this case, the beast is the complete bastardization of the Hulk franchise.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It's a shame, though. If the series doesn't sell well, that'll probably be it for any She-Hulk comic for a long time to come.

 

[Mr. Green]

Yeah, it sucks Shulkie's getting the axe. But I think the Hulk franchise is looking better now than it was pre-Planet Hulk. The Hulk book itself blows but at least it sell extremely well. Plus we have Incredible Herc -- AWESOME. And don't foget Skaar Son of Hulk -- also AWESOME. She-Hulk had a great run with Slott and PAD's run was also really good.

So the Hulk franchise doesn't really suck too bad.

 

[Obi-Ron]

If it ain't Jen, I ain't readin' it.

Seconded.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

So the Hulk franchise doesn't really suck too bad.

I consider Incredible Herc more of an ancillary Avengers title than a Hulk book at this point, especially now that he's joined the Mighty Avengers. But I suppose it could fit in either category.

 

[Mr. Green]

No way, man. Don't forget, Incredible Herc used to be Incredible Hulk, the first arc of Incredible Herc technically happened while it still had that name during WWH, the title was born from the aftermath of WWH, Cho and Herc are both Hulk allies... Plus at the end of each Incredible Herc issue they advertise Shulkie, Hulk, and Skaar.

 

[Manic]

Incredible Herc is now a Hulk title in the same way Captain Britain is an X-title.

Remotely.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, that's my feeling on it as well. The characters and/or concepts have some roots in those franchises, but they're pretty solidly their own thing right now, and in Herc's case, his own thing happens to be more in line with the Avengers franchise.

 

[ragingdemon155]

It's a shame, though. If the series doesn't sell well, that'll probably be it for any She-Hulk comic for a long time to come.

I really don't understand what Marvel is going for by sending She-Hulk to the bench for this new female Hulk. Did She-Hulk really sell that bad? Are there any plans for She-Hulk to maybe join one of the Avenger titles? At this time I'll take any book with She-Hulk in it.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm sure she'll still pop up from time to time.

 

[Anubis]

I don't really care either way to tell you the truth. Unless Slott takes over again and manages to avoid the great-work-in-the-past-jinx. Like Mark Waid on Flash.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Look, aside from the vagina monsters, that run was not so bad.

 

[Anubis]

The back up in every issue that ended up tying the whole thing together at the end was effin' awesome.....but the vagina monsters, and the way he was handling the kids was just crap.

 

[fifthfiend]

I picked up whichever issue where his kid was like a four year old Hulk Hogan or some **** and I was like, naw, I'm out.

**** I couldn't even stick around for the vag-beasts.

Book five was okay

Is "okay" your word for "never happened and doesn't exist"? Because if that's the case, then it's totally okay.

 

[Anubis]

I know man, can't we just have super fast kids and call it a day? Or better yet, he shoulda kept them babies and barely acknowledge them. Kids of superheros should be handled like the kids on Everybody loves Raymond. To this day I still don't know those little brats names. You barely noticed them until there was an episode that required Ray to actually interact with the little poop machines.

Do that, every once in awhile have Flash running out for milk or changing diapers and getting poop on his suit and not notice it while fighting Super villains all day. That is how you handle Superheros with kids.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Ultimately, this is all Dan DiDio's fault. If he hadn't been so obsessed with getting Barry back, he wouldn't have set it all up in Infinite Crisis and then backed out at the last second, Bart wouldn't have taken over as the interim Flash, and Wally, Linda, and the kids could've been developed over more than just the 10 or 12 issues we got to see them in before the series was unceremoniously canceled after an even worse Alan Burnett story.

For some reason comics writers always wanna come up with some sillyass way to skip the poop-on-the-supersuit stage, when it's like what the **** fellas, you're passing up gold!
