Defenders #31 - the best argument for living green

[perletwo]

magus_69 requested the scene best remembered for this image:



and whenever possible, I'm here to oblige. So here are 2 and a third pages of a 20-page story from 1976.









He takes the fawn to Dr. Strange, and a couple issues later it somehow ends up becoming a host body for the villainous Chondu the Mystic. Proving that no good gamma-ray deed goes unpunished, I guess.

That second panel of Hulk's face is brilliant.

[perletwo]

Ain't it though? Long long ago when the disappeared version was first posted, I made these icons from it:

"B-Bumbi's mommm..." T_T

[foxhack]

Holy shit Hulk is fucking hardcore.

[perletwo]

*nods* You really won't like him when he's angry....

[cmdr_zoom]

Yup.

Hey! I just realized something... this directly contradicts the recent official claim (was it from WORLD WAR HULK?) that the Hulk has never, in all his rampages, actually killed anyone. (Also, all those Cobra pilots shot down by GI Joe had parachutes, and Greedo shot first.)

[foxhack]

Well, you can see the guy who had a rifle necktie is still alive.

The other guy might still be alive! Just, you know, with no brain.

[ar_feiniel]

I personally like to think Hulk killed them both.

[an-idol-mind.livejournal.com]

Actually, the canon established in World War Hulk is that the Hulk has never ACCIDENTALLY killed anyone. I.E., all his rampages wound up with no unintentional casualties. There have been examples of the Hulk killing people that were cited by the Hulk himself to Amadeus Cho when that claim was made. The only difference is that he meant to do it.

[abbadie]

Huh, didn't somebody recently post a scene from the new retelling of the Avengers' origin where Hulk brains one of Rick Jones' teen brigade kids without even noticing? (which is a sick thing since they always rooted for him, anyway)

[an-idol-mind.livejournal.com]

That was a Loki-induced vision...not the real Hulk, or even a real event.

[daningram.insanejournal.com]

What? That guy clearly survived! Hulk divided the four perfectly!

~a wall explodes open in a local zoo~

"Oh my God!"

~the Hulk grabs a lion, it's mane the color black and with a large scar across it's face~

"THIS FOR SIMBA'S DAD!"

~Smash~

"FUCKING JEREMY IRONS!"

~a local aquarium's octopus exhibit is smashed open and the largest one is held in the great green Fist~

~SQUISH~

"HULK PITY POOR UNFORTUNATE SQUID. SEE WHAT HULK DID THERE. THAT IRONY. BUT SERIOUSLY, DO NOT FUCK WITH ARIEL"

~Ken Page sits quietly in his study. Suddenly the wall explodes in~

"DEAR GOD!"

"HEY. HULK HERE TO SAY HE REAL BIG FAN. LIKE, HULK WOULD BEAT YOU UP AND ALL....BUT OOGIE BOOGIE SONG SO GOOD YOU GET PASS. BUT HULK WATCHING YOU. STAY AWAY FROM HOT TOPIC IF YOU KNOW WHAT GOOD FOR YOU"

I'm sure this plays well to all the city folk, but anyone who loves around Deer know they're just big ass rats.

And killing two drunk hunters for shooting ONE deer is excessive. Even if it was on a game preserve.

[crinos]

Oh yes, why shouldn't we expect sane and rational responses from THE INCREDIBLE HULK.

[thehood]

Actually, the one under the tree is still alive and the other could just be crippled.

[psychopathicus_rex]

Hey, I live around deer, and I wouldn't call them 'big ass rats' at all. Deer are beautiful creatures - you just don't want them to get near your garden, is all.

[crinos]

And somewhere, Dr. Strange deeply regrets letting Hulk watch the disney channel during the Defenders mission briefings.

[mola_ram]

Sydney has never fully recovered from the time that The Hulk watched Finding Nemo...

[crinos]

"LITTLE GIRL NO SHAKE NEMO! HULK SMASH LITTLE GIRL!"

Namor: Okay, Chou, I'd LOVE to see you defend this.

Chou: Hey, why do you think I switched to being Hercs partner?

[jld]

For some inexplicable reason I'm reminded of Feminist Hulk here.

[magus_69]

Thanks so much for posting! YAY!
