If you're John Constantine and you've just been rescued from a magic war caused by a grown up Timothy Hunter and here you are back in the real world, what's the first thing you do? You go and look up Timothy Hunter. It's this really cool, experimental thing co-written by Kat Howard and me. The idea is that John and Timothy sit down with each other and John says that you're probably going to kill the world and you need to prove to me that you're not going to do that. -- Si Spurrier

Hulk: Season One - Part Two
Oct. 1st, 2012 03:28 pmblinkytreefrogI was going to post more of this, but I think I want to encourage people to go check it out for themselves rather than totally spoil it all. Therefore, I'm just going to post this scene here because I love Bruce in it, even though it breaks my heart a bit.
( Trigger warnings for child abuse and parental death. )
So, passion versus will. That's what the Hulk ultimately boils down to in the end, and it's what Marvel tends to default to when they try to re-introduce the character to new audiences. It's when this dichotomy is at play that I generally find the Hulk the most enjoyable to read about (YMMV, of course), and so I clearly loved this story :-).

Hulk: Season One - Part One
Sep. 30th, 2012 09:38 pmblinkytreefrogI've been on a bit of an Iron Man and Hulk blitz of late, and I've been catching up on a lot of trades and issues via my local library and local comic shop. The "Season One" series that Marvel has been publishing lately is a set of hardcover graphic novels that provide updated origin stories for their major characters.
Yeah, I know what you're thinking. "Again?"
I admit that I was a bit hesitant about picking this up, because it was a 100 page hardcover with a pretty hefty price, and it didn't seem like it was covering anything new. Then my library got it in, and I read it and then went out and bought it straight after, because dammit, I wanted my own copy, expense be damned. This is an awesome little story, which recounts the original Hulk origin with some nifty twists and shows a Bruce Banner who's damaged but resolute and brilliant.
( Trigger warning for child abuse here - this does touch on Bruce Banner's childhood and it's pretty awful. )
That's it for now, but I'll post another part later, because there are lots of cool bits!
