They always find a way to screw it all up in the end. I hope the fight between him and Juggs happens.

JUGs JUST GOT HIS ASS HANDED TO HIM IN wwh:x-men #2...Altough you can say he jobbed to the Hulk....:lol
 
The Ghost Rider WWH tie in was interesting...Jonny Blaze is a puss..:emperor

...it appears a new/meaner GR has been reborn?:confused:
 
The Ghost Rider has a different agenda...:bat

Kinda interesting tho..once the GR regained control...he had no interest in the HULK...why you ask?....THE HULK IS INNOCENT!! :eek:

I know man!!!!! That was awesome!!! When Dr. Strange says that!!!! WOW!!! you really get the picture!!!!!! i think i poped a boner!!!:rock
 
I like Sentry, I'm one of few, he's just such a weird ass character. Kinda like Marvel took Superman, made him better and nuts. BUT, I think him beating the hell outa Hulk, which is possible, is TOO obvious. I'm sure they fight, but I bet somehow Hulk talks him into his side. They're pals. And than the hero's will have not just Hulk, but Sentry against them, or at least not FOR them.

After reading WWH 1 & 2 and WWH:X-Men 1 & 2 I think it's safe to say Banner will be the one to stop Hulk. But I got a feeling even when he goes back to Banner, I bet Banner will be just as pissed as Hulk is. I think their minds are so connected now that he'll still hold the grudge, and the Illuminati will still have to pay somehow. I just don't think Hulk will be stopped with a fight, too easy an answer when you have a character like Sentry there as an easy out. Also it's too easy to just have Hulk crush everyone, that's lame. "Oh he just gets stronger!" Weak. Easy. Boring.

I think Rick Jones summed it up best when he told Hulk he's in the right, just going about it the wrong way. It's not RIGHT to just kill these guys, even though they did a bad thing, without a trial of sorts. And I think that will break into Hulks hero side the most.

While I like the overall theme, a lot of the incongruities are starting to irritate me.

1.) The various writers cannot seem to decide whether this is "Hulk Smash" or "Smart" Hulk. In one issue, he's lecturing the Warbound about how the Iron Man robots cannot be Stark because they are not talking. The next issue by another writer has him issuing virtually no dialogue other than "argh".
2.) Couldn't Gage have done a little research before taking the WWH:X-Men writing gig? I don't have enough space to discuss all the problems, but let's look at the major ones: Hulk knows all about the New X-men (X-Academy students), even lecturing them about their powers - i.e. see Rockslide fight - even though they did NOTHING before Hulk was shot into space to draw his or Banner's attention. Are we to believe that Hulk managed to gather data on every super/mutant/magical being - even the minor ones - while he headed towards Earth? Able to kick their asses? Sure. But, unless he's managed to gain telepathic powers on Sakaar, it makes no sense that he knows EVERYTHING. Speaking of mental powers, all it takes is "rage deflection" to keep Xavier and Emma from being able to enter Hulk's mind?!? I'm sorry, but that's just stupid. Now, I know that they had to develop some way to keep the mentalists in the Marvel Universe from simply putting the Hulk and Crew to sleep - would have been a short fight otherwise. However, this idea that his rage is too strong for Xavier to enter his mind is just silly. Speaking of Gage not understanding Xavier ... so Emma can block his powers now? The most power telepath in the known universe?!? Well, I could almost have accepted that as a story McGuffen. But to give the Stepford Cuckoos that same ability (the 3 blonde triplets ... well, quintuplets, but the other 2 are dead) is down right insulting. I will stop now as my own "rage deflection" is growing, but WWH: X-men is weak on every level and brings the whole story down a notch. Oh, one more - so Hulk is punishing Xavier for just being willing to shoot him into space? So, is he going to go kill the millions of other humans that would have voted the same damn thing if given a choice? I can live with him wanting revenge on the rest of the Illuminati. However, Xavier had nothing to do with him being shoot into space and then his world being destroyed. So, it makes no sense to spend all that energy to "punish" him.
3.) The writers have reduced the Warbound to simple intergalactic rent-a-cops. These characters were the best part of Planet Hulk ... they brought amazing characterization to the story and really helped bring out the strong points in the Hulks interactions. I know they want to make Hulk look "bad-ass", but doing so at the detriment of his team is wrong.
4.) Frontline - actually, I have little to no problems with this book. It's done well - definitely the best of the bunch.

It may seem like I totally hate WWH from this rant. But, that's not true. I am enjoying the overall story and thematic elements. It's just that the weak parts are keeping this from being a strong mini-series. Onslaught/Heroes Reborn bad? No. But that's not setting the bar very high. Sigh ...

Some good points--however after finally picking up Frontline #2 I wasn't overally impressed with it. Personally, of the WWH titles that I've read, I've found Frontline to be the shoulder shrug of the group.

Love the continued action in the X-men clash (#1 & 2) and seeing hero after hero getting thumped--- haven't seen Mighty Avengers yet to see why that group got taken down so simply... Anyway I'm sure that Sentry'll bring about Banner's arrival. If that signals the end for Hulk's rage--- well, I kinda doubt it.

Loved the reaction of the Hulk when he heard that Captain America was dead.

"Scuse me?" That kind of left him speechless. Anyone think that the Captain America who was killed might have been one of these insidious Skrull (sp?) agents introduced in the most recent New Avengers?

Loved reading it... but did you see who's coming for Hulk now?...:D
Dr. Strange SMASH!!!!

It's getting good-- but I don't like a) how Sentry is wandering off and staying on the sidelines and b) how the Mighty Avengers are currently plodding through an Ultron wiping out mankind storyline at the exact same time in their title as WWH happens (and we've seen them get their butts handed to them)...
 
Man I missed a lot, I was reading them online but unfortunately that well has dried up....:monkey2:monkey2 guess I'll have to wait until TPB
