Arcturus Rann decked the Hulk's kid.

[thanekos]

Realm of Kings: Son of Hulk was a four-issue miniseries setting up both Pak's Dark Son arc and the upcoming Incredible Hulks: Enigma Force.

In it, Hulk's other kid Hiro-Kala ran roughshod over the sub-atomic world K'ai while Arcturus Rann, Marionette, and the defective Death's Head robot Carl contended with the boy's loyal Bonemen.

( And then the Enigma Force came in, as it's wont to do: 'Arcturus Rann--' )

Some more November DC news - Batwoman and 'Tec

[ficticons]

Two items of interest.

1) Courtesy of The Source, here's a first look at the ( variant cover for Batwoman #0, coming out this November. )

2) The Source has also published news about a Commissioner Gordon co-feature in Detective Comics, starting in the November issue (#871). It'll be written by Scott Snyder and drawn by Francesco Francavilla. More info and a bit of teaser art under the cut.

Both of these look really interesting.

The comics set right an imbalance that a TV series never managed

Remember a 1980's cartoon called Visionaries?



If not, this won't mean much to you, so my apologies.

Got my issue of Thor the Mighty Avenger #3 in the mail, in which Gi(Ant) Man and Wasp come to investigate the death of Doctor Stephens, Hank's old mentor who was killed last issue. What do you get when you combine retro costumes and art style with Marvel-Adventures-Style-Adorkable and gently snarky references to 616-angst? This.

Grant Morrison's villains

[flint_marko]

This was posted on /co/

"Morrison hates shades of gray. It's really that simple. You're either a hero or a villain in his book. And his villains tend to be either pure evil, pathetic manchilds/people that can't man up and deal with shit, or all of the above. There's very little room in his work for sympathetic bad guys or antagonists that actually kinda have a point."

Can anyone think of any "sympathetic bad guys or antagonists that actually kinda have a point" that Morrison has done?
