It's Hammer Time for Hercules as the Lion of Olympus gets his thunder on! Meanwhile, in INCREDIBLE HERCULES #133, the Secret Origin of Amadeus Cho begins! Who really killed Amadeus' family? What is his true relation to Hercules? And, most importantly, what is the connection between him and The Twelve's Master Mind Excello? Everyone's favorite irascible boy genius is after the answers himself—but to get them he's going to have to go through his arch-nemesis, Pythagoras Dupree, the sixth-smartest man on Earth!

Do we get to see Hulk Jr. beat the snot outta Rulk?

PLEASE? PRETTY PLEASE!

[moneyless_jew.insanejournal.com]

I like Dark Reign but if they throw Emma under the bus, I swear to God.

[xammax.insanejournal.com]

Herc is keeping his own book right?

As for Emma I hope this a huge Cycke/Emma dodge to screw Norman. Come on, I actually like Scott's girlfriend for once.

[pyrotwilight.insanejournal.com]

God I hope so. He should easily trounce Rulk. He has Hulk strength, Old Power and the Power Cosmic last I checked. If Rulk wins I'd be absolutely pissed.

[trueredorion.insanejournal.com]

The Power COsmic was only temprorary and he lost the Old Power. He may regain the Old Power though since the girl who got Hiroim's powers in Warbound is showing up in Planet Skaar.

You forget, Marvel is the company that broke up Peter and MJ because having them apart made for more interesting storytelling, supposedly. Conflict is better, if they're to be believed, and as such, what better than two people who sleep in the same bed being on opposite teams and having to fight each other.

That said, I think the big, fat joke in Norman's face at the end of Dark Reign is that everyone is going to turn on him, regardless of who's behind the door, and kick the everloving shit out of him. So, hopefully, Emma is just doing this to screw with Norm.

Where's you icon from?

[statham1986.insanejournal.com]

It's from the Jamie Hewlett comic strip 'Meet the Freebies'. The lovely pale girl imitating some phallic action is Whitey Action, the totally and utterly politically incorrect partner of the strip's lead Terry Phoo, who just happens to look a little like Bruce Lee.

In this, she's mocking one of Phoo's buddies as he speaks on the phone, who is trying to get an opinion on what shoes he should buy.

[jlbarnett.insanejournal.com]

there is no good reason for Emma to betray Cyke for Osborne. I might get this issue, but that's the only part of the series I'm touching.

[lieut_kettch.insanejournal.com]

What. The. FUCK. Why is Emma working for Osborn?

[kali921.insanejournal.com]

Pythagoras Dupree. BWAHAHAHAHAHA.

And the Savage She-Hulk backup stories? Still no Jen? I don't really care about Thundra and Hulk's spawn, to be honest. I want Jen back!

[sherkahn.insanejournal.com]

Actually, Scott's creation of X-Force and keeping her out of the loop of important decisions would make the person your currently dating quite upset. (Lord knows I am experiencing this right now. )

So yeah, emma's gonna do her own thing for mutants everywhere, and she's going to f' it up.

[hybrid2.insanejournal.com]

Do that mean Skaar is cancel?
If I get incredible Hulk then I get that new She-Hulk?But I dont want to read about her...
The whole concept of battle of the sex is to dumb,to me,and i heard it might be the next big event...
what is this 3 or 4 I have no interest for.
House of M,Civil War,Secret Invasion...

[blake_reitz.insanejournal.com]

Wait, how the hell does the Incredible Hulk/Herc numbering work? I mean, Herc took over the Hulk title, but kept the numbering, but they're starting up the Hulk title with the original numbering, which would include the issues that Hulk was Herc? Huh? What? Arg, my brain!

I'm actually quite shocked that Marvel hasn't given Herc a new series, seeing that they love first issues so much...

[colonel_green.insanejournal.com]

which would include the issues that Hulk was Herc

No, it doesn't. It includes all the issues up until the title changed, then the numbers of Loeb's Hulk until the return of the IH title.

[colonel_green.insanejournal.com]

That's a Deodato cover? You can't even see X-23's boobs, and her ass isn't in any way inappropriately highlighted!

[godspeedmoya.insanejournal.com]

this probly isnt the right spot to ask but can someone scan The Stand plz?
am i the only one loving this series?
