Listened to the whole thing, and all i can think about now is rulk.
and how much rulk sucks even though i never read it.
sometimes Im really glad that I dont know anything about this stuff.
but still – great show, I have no criticisms.
I will avoid talking about things that Damian will get sued for.
D: Thanks, R.A.W. However, you should say "may" instead of "will".
Otherwise RULK WILL SMASH!!!
See you at the gas station!
From Jeff:
From Jeph:
"Ed McGuinness and I were working on a miniseries that was originally going to be a part of the regular Hulk book. Ed came over from DC for one reason, and that's he wanted to draw the Hulk. Had this idea for this story called "The Strongest There Is" and it was an opportunity to have the Hulk beat everybody in the Marvel universe and sort of return him to the place where he was the strongest there is. We came up with a lot of great ideas — not for least of which was, we wanted the Hulk to punch out the Watcher, because nobody had ever done that. So we sort of figured, here's the guy who always stands there and says, "Hi, I'm here to watch," and then we just have the Hulk look at him and say, you know, "I don't want you watching even if you paid for good seats." … And Joe Quesada called and said that they'd had this idea for the red Hulk and that he wanted it to be a mystery."
VAHL: So, as Harlan Ellison once described at MegaCon, the story is a "Frankenstein monster."
I'll take Daredevil: Yellow or Supeman For All Seasons over this any day of the week.
I guess THEY'RE having fun with it.
Oh, well. God bless 'em.
The Defenders was particularly over-the-top.
I don't think you can go back to campy comics after high quality runs. It really is a disservice to the those who want comics to be recognized as a legit artform.
I will laugh if I ever see Jeph Loeb and company ask for money for CBCDF. THEY'RE not appreciative of the freedom they have. Lest we forget the days of the Comic Book Authority. Writers had to play those rules back then. What's Loeb's excuse?

DAMIAN: Did you see that the DEFENDERS was actually spelled the OFFENDERS? That's like when Anonymous did DAILYSCREW. In fact for the first 13 issues, Rulk acts like an immature autistic kid worse than Banner ever acted- worse than Superboy Prime- if that's POSSIBLE.
So it was the Defenders plucked from the timeline vs the Offenders with the Grandmaster and Collector having a contest. Yet there was no good Contest of Champions feeling or Roger Stern Avengers nostalgia- it was senseless killing (Rulk killed the Defenders AND his own teammates, but everything was restored at the end).
Then comes issue 14 Rulk deep thinks about patriotism and what happened to the country.
Loeb started to get ripped with BATMAN:HUSH, but I loved HUSH, although of course it seems out of continuity. Truthfully I had major issues with Superman Batman- it's like he was and still is trying to please McGuiness by fitting in all the characters he wants to draw. It's really Image-class Erik Larsen B.S.
It sucks when a creative team just takes over like that.
McGuiness must has missed World War Hulk because Hulk did prove he is the "strongest there is", yet it was written and drawn in a mature way that appealed to young and old. Best Hulk run since the beginning of Bruce Jones.
Before Jones, Paul Jenkins gladly acknowledged Peter David's run and took it to a new level with new insight into Banner/Hulk's psychology. Loeb? GREY HULK Mr. Fixit appeared for a few panels in Vegas- without explanation- and then he turned into Green Hulk after getting beat up by a bunch of Wendigos.
Vahl here.
Quick update: Fed Ex refused to take my package without a free pay shipping label from HP. I called HP and NOW they said they don't NEED me to return the defective part.
I can't WAIT until my credit card gets hit a month from now with a charge for that "Free" part. WOOOOooooo….
