I've found Immortal Hulk a mixed bag, but generally more good than bad. I absolutely hate the whole "Hulk is actually a force of nature and Banner is just the latest host" thing though.

I spent almost my whole comic-life not knowing the J in Red Sonja is pronounced like a Y....and I prefer the J sound so I'll stick with that. Conan would agree with you.

Thank you Confessor and tarkintino! So, how did Luke even known that he could move object with his mind..? I always thought of the Force as a living thing, with a lot of Jedi training basically being how to "quiet the mind" and listen to what the Force was telling you. Once you can do that, the abilities kind of just reveal themselves as you spend time communing with it.

So is the Baltimore series of minis tied in with the Hellboy universe or is it its own thing? I have a bead on all the Baltimore trades, but I'm not ready to pull the trigger on going full Hellboy quite yet. It's it's own thing. I read it a couple of years ago and I remember it being... fine. I think I enjoyed the first HC more than the second, but don't remember too much about it, which probably speaks to how much of an impression it made on me.

Either Love & Rockets or Squadron Supreme, haven't quite decided yet.

That’s hilarious. Is that from Deadpool? Yeah, from the Kelly/McGuinness run. I'm not a huge fan of what was done with Deadpool later, but that first ongoing was great.

The best thing about these issues is MJ and Gwen. That scene where MJ is supposed to be helping May move to Anna’s house but she just starts dancing and Anna asks her to just not get in the way too much ... it’s hilarious.

Reed needed four people because he needed them to run controls. He couldn't do it all by himself. -z And they were the only other two people he knew? Well, when you're stuck in the lab all day...

What I don't understand is some people's need to impose their opinions/preferences on others. You don't like Manara's cover, that's absolutely fine, don't buy it. But going out of your way to spend time and effort to prevent other people buying it? Why on earth would you do that?

First three I can think of - the Bat penis, the Spider-Woman cover, the "Jewery" sign in X-Men...

Because I'm a glutton for punishment.... read Hickman's first X-Men trade on Hoopla. Its... something. Each of the 1st 6 issues read like the first chapter of a longer story that doesn't continue into the next issue. He throws out a ton of random conflicts and ideas that are only very vaguely related, and I guess they'll get settled later? Or in other books? While I'm intrigued at the idea of all the mutants being on the same side, there are 2 problems.. 1) Hickman. But the real issue is.. it sure seems like the X-Men are the bad guys in this story. This is Hickman. Big intriguing ideas that ultimately lead nowhere and peter out as he gets interested in his next big thing. Yeah, the mini-series were intriguing, but then Hickman disappeared into the background and the whole thing was farmed out to Marvel's current stable of mediocrity. Very disappointing.

I just finished reading the first Silver Age omnibus (the pre-Shooter stuff) and was surprised how much I enjoyed it. Just good silly fun. Looking forward to revisiting the contents of volume 2 after I take a brief sojourn into some Conan stuff.

Wow, no love for DeFalco. I confess to loving his Spidey and Thor as a youngster. I was even a big fan of Spider Girl and A-Next in my early 20s. I haven't re-read since the 90s. I'm almost tempted to go back and see if it's as bad as you folks claim, but I think I'll leave the memories alone Not a huge fan of his main continuity writing, but I agree that the entire MC2 line was great. Of course it's been 20 years, so no idea how well it'll hold up to me today.

Is Sunshine & Roses finished now? Read the first half a dozen or so issues then decided to wait until it was done. That seems a long time ago now

#15 Hulk vs. Black bolt World war Hulk #1
Black Bolt is one of the true power houses in the MU and has beaten the Hulk on several occasions. In WW Hulk he is taken out off panel. Fairly sure it was revealed that it was a skrull posing as Black Bolt.
