I love Hulk so much there.

"Seriously? You don't get Banner a therapist? What the hell people?"

[gnarll]

To be fair, Doc Samson didn't work out well.

[starwolf_oakley]

Karla Sofen? Johann Fennhoff?

[zachbeacon]

"Karla Sofen? Johann Fennhoff?"

Marvel shrinks in general are pretty terrible* but those two are actively trying to mess up their patients.

*I mean Ashley Kafka helped Vermin/Edward a bit but all of her other clients arguably became worse under her care. Lenny Sampson's success with the Hulk is ... debatable but at least Quicksilver seemed to get something out of his sessions.

Then again, he's still very much Quicksilver so ....

[thehood]

Also, Karla hates Banner and has tried to kill him.

Personally, I'd go with Jericho Drumm. He's nice enough and it seems people forget he's a psychiatrist.

[shadowpsykie]

oooh i'd read that

[bruinsfan]

As I recall, Jericho was a lot more mindful of Banner and how events were violating him than the other Uncanny Avengers in that story where the Hand zombified the Hulk. The rest were mostly "Oh crap, it's the Hulk! NUKE IT!"

[thehood]

Sofen hates Banner, she wouldn't be a great choice.

[icon_uk]

So has her name been used, or do we just assume it's Nyx?

[scorntx]

No, she's Nyx.
That's why she's got her fingers through Wanda's head.

[astrakhan42]

Setting up Hercules and Rocket as buddies is a nice way to get the MCU Thor/Rabbit friendship into the comics without messing around with 616 Thor too much. If Ewing comes out of this with a New Avengers/USAvengers-style series I'd expect them to be on it.

Also, holy shit the Hulk has ginormous hands! I knew they were big but just one of them is the size of Hawkeye's torso.

[bruinsfan]

Hasn't Jason Aaron pretty much turned Thor into Hercules at this point?

[daningram.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, and into the dumb Herc of 90s and 80s past, not the current cool one

[dcbanacek]

I WAS about to call bullshit on this whole thing but after a little bit of research, I discover that yes, Nyx actually IS that damn powerful. The more you know *cue rainbow effect*.

[lordultimus]

I actually knew this thanks to the Percy Jackson books. Who says YA has nothing to offer?

[thehood]

Oh yeah, even the Mythological Zeus was scared of her.

[werehawk]

Snore. Just waiting for Conan to show up...

[werehawk]

And no offense intended. Just not excited about this (even Rocket seems gratuitous here). And I usually like Waid's and Ewing's stuff.

[thehood]

Rocket isn't gratuitous timeline wise and he has history with Hulk.

[shadowpsykie]

*please remember Hercules is Bi... please remember Hercules is Bi....Please remember Hercules is Bi!*

[bruinsfan]

Didn't some higher-up at Marvel make a statement straightwashing the 616/Prime Earth version not that long ago? These writers might not have the clout to go against that, though I feel certain if they're doing the research to bring in Greek figures like Nyx and Hypnos they must be aware.

[shadowpsykie]

I think that was later amended because he was unaware of what had happened or of his depiction in the comics.
