Fear Itself: Hulk vs. Dracula

[sherkahn]

The deathmatch wheel has been spun and someone was bored, I mean bold enough to make a comic out of it.
Comic Book Resources has the article announcing Hulk vs. Dracula.

Oh yeah, SPOILERS!!!



"The Hulk goes on a rampage - with all the world in turmoil and the heroes too busy - it's up to Dracula and his vampire nation to stop the rampaging monster."



Can someone comment for me? I've head-desked so hard I can't peal my face from the artificial wood.

At least the art should be interesting to look at.

Awesome. I'm only upset that it's squaresoft Dracula and not proper Gene Colan classic Dracula. But I'll take it.

I love the Worthy revealed so far.

" The Red Skull's daughter, heir to his evil! The Hulk, rampaging man and monster! The Juggernaut, whom nothing can stop! And.. the Grey Gargoyle, and quite possibly the Absorbing Man. Why the hell not? "

In-universe, it probably makes enough sense, but on a meta level it's a bit odd.

Oh god this is going to be so awesome! Honestly, this just looks like fun. Been a while since weve had a nice huge throwdown just for fun in the MU, and Dracula and Hulk are just enough a ridiculous match to work.

The worthy are shaping up to be very impressive, choice wise. Except the Gargoyle, hes a little out of place. Strong, yeah, but not really on the level of the rest of them.

This seems like it would be a short fight.

Also, Dracula needs to go back to not looking ridiculous.

Anyone here a Legacy of Kain fan?

Still waiting for anyone to bother telling MI-13 (you know, the people who killed Dracula to stop him from committing genocide?) that he's back. I really, really want Faiza to punch Cyclops in the face for that one.

Until now, I still do not understand the point of Fear Itself.

I like the art, though. Niiice stuff.

EPIC HEADBUTT!

[cypherfdp]

Why does Dracula look like a bad Final Fantasy villain?

[thatnickguy]

Did Hulk headbutt Tron on his way to Transylvania?

"What is a Hulk? A miserable pile of smashes!"

[blunderbuss]

If I didn't know better, I'd say this was an epic battle between an orc and an elf dude or something. :P

I can remember just after Civil War, some tasteless joker on Wikipedia decided the next event would be called "Skrullocaust", in which everyone you hated in CW turned out to be Skrulls and were hunted down and exterminated by the originals. Not too far off from "Secret Invasion", in fact...it did seem slightly plausible at the time, given that it was claimed Millar would be writing it, and it had a fake statement from Joe Q about one of the Avengers going 'full-on Dachau'.

I bring up the whole dreary story, of course, because one of the fake tie-in titles for "Skrullocaust" was entitled "Penance vs. Dracula", which would have been very silly and odd. Perhaps this twin fulfilment of prophecy - first, a Skrull-oriented event, then a tie-in which amounts to nothing more than someone fighting Dracula - is a spelling of doom for the current direction at Marvel.

One can only hope.

So if it's Hulk vs. Dracula, why is the image of a roided-out Martian Manhunter fighting Elric of Melniboné?

THE WINNER FIGHTS DOOM ON THE MOON.

How is that art of Hulk vs. Dracula? It looks like, dunno... an elf with fangs and an orc duking it out? I'm enjoying the coloring, but questioning the design.
