Comics World War Hulk: X-Men

[Manic]

Okay, um...

I don't like Darwin suddenly sprouting new powers at will like that. Sucking in gamma radiation from a distance? Teleporting? The way Brubaker wrote him, Darwin's body just sort of allowed him to survive stuff and learn quickly. He's supposed to adapt, not arbitrarily gain new abilities. He falls down a shaft, and his body becomes rubbery. He gets sucked into space, and his body becomes denser.

If anything, the only thing he should've been able to do in that fight is survive getting hit.

^Well don't put to much stock into this mini as WWH has EVERYBODY acting out of character.



Hulk punting M was awesome.

 

[masterj]

She should so fly back and low blow him in his massive green clems.

That's not true. Despite characterization being brief, because no character is really getting a spotlight and we're just seeing them as we're seeing them, I'd say that Gage has nailed the characters spot on.

I don't mind the Darwin thing too, too much. For all we know, Gage found out from Bru or an editor or some such that "sure, Darwin can do such things." Or he didn't and thought he'd go for something original. Maybe it sucks. Maybe it doesn't. But at least it's not ungodly powerful and Gage implemented his own limit. Better than what some people (read: Claremont) have done with similar characters (read: Lifeguard).

But at the end of the day, Gage writes a better X-Men comic and better characters than recent writers (read: Milligan, sadly probably Brubaker, Claremont, whoever else). And it's not even a heavy plot comic, either. Just a showcase of fun and action.

Of course, this is just WWH: X-Men that I'm countering with. But I don't think the core WWH mini is as bad as everyone makes it out to be. But that's not a matter of this forum.

Oh man! Well Monet should thank Hulk for her free trip to Jersey t:
If Rogue we're there she coulda just saved them all a lot of time and just
touched the Hulk w/ her new strain 88 which will kill him within contact.
But I guess she's too busy being abducted by Mystique

BTW, I also could've sworn M would put up a better fight than this

The whole book is about the Hulk destroying damn near anything that gets in his way... So M really stood no chance. Just be happy she got a semi-funny exit.

Hulk's survived "instant death" attacks before with no problem. Though it would be funny to see her try:

Rogue: *grabs Hulk*

Hulk: I need an adult!

I agree on both counts. It like everybody forgot how to fight as a team.

LMAO...me thinks he'd only give her some of that Monet treatment with her bent over a car...or a pile of her fallen comrades....and she'd be all the more grateful for it!

Dude, what's with you and putting Hulk into sexual situations. You want his big green penis?

Huh, no.

OutrcryX includes about everything and everyone in these depraved scenarios. Equal-opportunity lunatic/perv. t:

everyone gets a shag as far as i'm concerned..it doesn't matter who or what or what sex...all holes are open game (pun intended)

 

[OutcryX]

you know ...there was actually a debate..possibly in this thread about the size of Hulk's wang...you say its big and green....did you just inadvertently admit your own fantasy?

Mmm, well, I'd put a HUMANOID clause/restriction, though.

Hey, I might laugh my ass off at those Tijuana jokes, but I wouldn't actually go see one of these, huh... shows.

ok...so Humanoids it is.....*throws away Lockheed/Kitty scenario*

And the best idea Reed Richards could come up with was mimicking Sentry

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!

At least it wasn't Lockheed/Kitty/Pete.

And yes, I did that just for Spoons. And somewhat in honor of that humongus Pete on #202's cover, I suppose.

World War Hulk: X-Men #3 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.

Haha, fun. t:

This may possibly be the most awesome comic I've read in years.

I know and i sooo...didn't think this would be any good. feels good to be wrong. for once.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Did you read Annihilation then?

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Beats the hell out of Civil War: X-Men. That's for sure.

It's also good to see Hulk back and just smashing like Hell. That's all World War Hulk has been about. Action, action, action.

 

[Canemacar]

Did you read Annihilation then?

Does it have near-mindless violence interspersed with witty quips?

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Space stories besides Dark Phoenix Saga and Planet Hulk make me blah.

 

[OutcryX]

Annihilation? No. Just what the name implies..without the humor
