Skaar: Son of Hulk by Greg Pak and Ron Garney

[TheCorpulent1]

They're hanging out in New Mexico, I think, in that same place where the Leader tried to start his new Gammaworld or whatever. The Hulk just kicked their collective ass again for getting between him and Skaar in the last issue of Skaar.

 

[Silver Knight]

What? Korg and the gang were is Skarr? Really?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yep. Skaar came to Earth and the Warbound, She-Hulk, and the Hulk were all drawn to him. She-Hulk got taken out of the game in the Planet Skaar Prologue (can't remember how, exactly) but the Hulk and the Warbound find their way to him and chaos ensues.

 

[Silver Knight]

So the Warbound are still tight will Hulk?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Not really. The Hulk didn't even remember/care about them in Skaar. But Bruce is apparently holding the Green Scar persona and memories back from the Hulk, so he may not really remember them too well.

 

[THANOSRULES]

I wish Lim was staying on the book.

His pencils were BLOWING me away...I think some of his Skaar stuff was the best I've ever sen from him, and maybe some of the best drawing of the year.

Heres hoping he's got somthing else cool at marvel lined up.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

No difference. The Green Scar = Planet Hulk. The WWH Hulk was more powerful but his personality was the same as the Green Scar's, so I consider him the Green Scar with a temporary power boost.

Due to him being more pissed off than he's been....ever?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, basically.

Yeah, Lim's great. I've loved him since back in his '80s/'90s cosmic days.

 

[Ahura Mazda]

Due to him being more pissed off than he's been....ever?

Exactly given that as soon as he starts remembering you see him powering up to 'frightening' levels.

Also, anybody love the art in the recent issue of Skaar: Son of Hulk? Just awesome.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yes, Ron Lim is great.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Echo echo

 

[Colossal Spoons]

We all love Lim

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Yes, Ron Lim is great.

No doubt. He's just great.

 

[Mr. Green]

I'm guessing since Skaar picked up more readers due to the whole "Planet Skaar" thing, Marvel decided to give the book a better colorist.

That pisses me off that they didn't have a better colorist for Ron Lim's entire stay on the book so far.

And Planet Hulk had a decent colorist but nowhere near what it should have been given the quality of the book.

It pisses me off that whenever a book's sales drop, Marvel just replaces the art team with the worst artists they have. What the hell?! Is that supposed to improve sales? Because it does the opposite.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I'm going to be picking up the Skaar TPB when it comes out in the UK, but has Skaar become part of the Hulk storyline now as well? Its gonna be hard to keep up with with the TPB's as thats all I read.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

If you're talking about Loeb's storyline in the Hulk comic, no. But Skaar has made his way to Earth and met the Hulk.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^So is that a different Hulk storyline that will run alongside Rulk?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, Skaar's story was running in his comic called Skaar: Son of Hulk, but it's going to switch to Incredible Hulk starting with Incredible Hulk #601 in another month.

 

[Silver Knight]

So no more Skaar: Son of Hulk?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Nope. There will, however, be a Son of Hulk comic continuing with Skaar: Son of Hulk's numbering. It'll follow a Shadow Priest kid who played an ancillary role during Skaar's run in the comic and it'll be written by Paul Jenkins.

What? Im so confused right now.

this is all you need to know.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

What? Im so confused right now.

Oy. Look, for the past few months, we had the following:

- Hulk, featuring the red Hulk, Bruce Banner/the Hulk, and the rest of Loeb's nonsense.
- Skaar: Son of Hulk, featuring Skaar on the planet Sakaar.
- She-Hulk, featuring Lyra, the test-tube daughter of the Hulk and Thundra, raised in Thundra's female-dominated reality and just recently arrived in the mainstream Marvel reality.

Now we've got Planet Skaar, during which Skaar was exiled from Sakaar to Earth, Sakaar was destroyed by Galactus, and Skaar met and fought the Hulk. Then there's Incredible Hulk #600 where some other stuff happens.

After Incredible Hulk #600, we'll have the following:

- Hulk, featuring the red Hulk and the rest of Loeb's nonsense.
- Incredible Hulk, featuring Skaar, Bruce Banner, and She-Hulk back-ups featuring Lyra.
- Son of Hulk, featuring a young Shadow Priest.

Everyone clear now?

 

[JewishHobbit]

Still not clear on why they're continuing Son of Hulk, you know, without Hulk's son actually being in the book. It seems pointless and stupid. I'm assuming there's something to be explained in the next issue but until then I just don't get it.
