The Immortal Hulk #36 - "The Thing in the Tube"

[laughing_tree]

There's a certain class of bad guy whose job is to turn up in the opening act and get their heads handed to them in a couple of pages by the hero of the book or the hero team in the book, as like a "day in the life" thing, while they talk about setting up the real plot. And once you're on that roster, it's really hard to get off it, and I think the Leader was on that roster. He was somebody who was like a hair's breadth away from turning up in the first five pages of, oh I don't know, D-Man. [...] Villains turning incompetent is... it's really hard to get them back from that. And I was a little worried about the Leader because he's not had a good time of it over the years. He's been kind of... douchey over the years, and I wanted to make him dangerous again. -- Al Ewing

Titania has always been cockier than her strength level, but its still funny to see her get owned all the time. Its like the only one who can temporarily humble her is spiderman.

I always liked Titania. Granted I mostly like her as She-Hulk's rival, Volcana's bestie, and as half of a superpowered Bonie and Clyde (I'm baffled that they kept trying to break them up a while ago but I guess the Joe Q era did that to just about every couple). She's very defined by her relationship to others and doesn't have a lot that makes her special as an individual when compared to the next villain with super strength.

FFS, who does the lettering at Marvel? "Exposion"?!?!?!

I’ve seen worse spelling errors on real news channel chyrons. Maybe it’s subtle commentary.

WHo else noticed that the rubble spells out "Sal Buscema"?
