Hulk thread

I just thought I remember someone talking about a specific event of Leader and Brian manipulating things from the Below Place, but they didn't show that before this panel. And now Leader is controlling the Green Door?

To think the ultimate thought with his big green brain.

Reminder that Green Scar is actually Brian/Guilt Hulk.

You forgot Entropy, Goblin Force and Hunger

Saving both the present and the future multiverse

No. He was in Weapon H, but I don't think that has anything to do with this.

HE did get a GF in it, but the stroytimes dried up so I've got no idea what happened to her.

The First Firmament and Beyounder wanted to kill everyone to be alone as well but it was due to them being dicks rather than their "nature"

Wait a fucking minute, I thought the concept of time travel was limited to the multiverse, how the fuck the bug went to the previous cosmos? Can you go back in time before the First Firmament created the Celestials as well?

Probably it was possible due to gamma shenanigans.
But there is no reason to believe travelling between Multiverses isn't possible. It is more of a teleport rather than time travel.

The 9th Cosmos is the "future" of Marvel Prime, so a Tiding Fly would have to travel backwards in time on the 9th Cosmos' version of the Prime Earth go to the 8th. You can say a meta reason for it is because TOBA corrupted the story so it's an infinite timeloop.

Came here to post this.

I'm really hoping Grutan comes back.

He's tried to merge with the universe (I think that's how he "died" before the Bruce Jones run started) or gain all it's knowledge before, so I'm glad to see him making a bid for that kind of cosmic-scale power.

I read that Tales to Astonish story as a kid in the Essentials, and I always wondered why he never retained anything he learned there in his next appearances.

Sjw shit

Look, everyone here hates the stupid "Six months later you're on The Avengers" and "You're a middle-aged white guy talking about revolution" scenes. They're shit. No argument.

But the rest of the book has been genuinely intriguing, Ewing clearly knows his lore and has made several forgotten characters work, the body horror angle is intriguing and most of all it's by far been the most interesting The Hulk has been in years. We aren't SJWs, we just want to enjoy one of the only quality books Marvel has been putting out even if there's the occasional cringe-y Woke moment.

Well-said. IH #33 was one of the best issues put out by the big 2 in YEARS, in my estimation.

Maybe

>I read that Tales to Astonish story as a kid in the Essentials
Same. Thanks for the picture. This is the first time I see this in color. So the Leader comes back in Incredible Hulk #115 because he was revived with Gamma radiation something normal to Ewing's run.

Buzz Buzz reference. Pretty sure TOBA is going to be Giygas. The Leader is Pokey.

>Leader ends up usurping TOBA somehow
>Reworks reality into his paradise of knowledge
Imagine.

You know I think a lot of us called Rick being a little "off". His powers were different, he wasn't acting normal, and not ONCE did he Hulk out into A-Bomb. Plus as another user pointed out, Rick's shirt was the same color as Leader's suit.

This will only end badly for Leader. He will gaze into the abyss, seeing forbidden knowledge, and then go mad. That will be his Hell.

>Buzz Buzz reference
Thank god I'm not the only one who thought that

Truth.

What makes me upset is how much better the book would be without those scenes.

McGee's "They don't shoot you cuz your, even though this all started cuz Hawkeye shot you," has to be the worst, even though overall I loved the issue.

We actually came up with a cool Gamma mutant form for Dr. McGowan
>Frog-like characteristics with webbed feet, hands, smooth skin, and powerful legs
>Face is completely blank like The Question's, with long hair
>Has the ability to shapeshift to look like anyone
How does the name "Gamphibian" sound?

It's big brain time.

>I read that Tales to Astonish story as a kid in the Essentials, and I always wondered why he never retained anything he learned there in his next appearances.

So did I, and it made perfect sense to me. His mind just couldn't handle that amount of knowledge, even with the Gamma enhancements. I wouldn't be surprised if some of it lingered though, which is why he was so hell bent on acquiring knowledge in later appearances.

>you've no idea how bad it is to be black
>you get away with everything because you're white

>he literally got jetisoned into space

He already fulfilled his endgame

I loved that he went insane in EMH, and I hope you're right, because when one of the smartest dudes in the room freaks out you know immediately it's bad.

>Buzz Buzz reference. Pretty sure TOBA is going to be Giygas. The Leader is Pokey.
Holy shit that actually makes sense.

No shit, he's the opposite of TOAA. and it thematically fits because a major theme in Immortal Hulk is duality and shadows. Also, the absence of God.

Based Ewing, Earthbound deserve more love.

There is a side of the devil yet to be revealed. We’ve already seen:
>The monster in the night
>The malformed beast
>The silver-tongued deal maker
>The false messiah
Who’s missing you ask? The prideful angel

>You know I think a lot of us called Rick being a little "off". His powers were different, he wasn't acting normal, and not ONCE did he Hulk out into A-Bomb.

Don't forget leading the crew to Shadowbase. Before it seemed like Rick exerting some of the Destiny Force, but in hindsight it makes sense a member of the Intelligencia would have knowledge of off the record government installations.

I did one this morning (this time in actual pencil, no gimp or mspaint like last thread). I was thinking of calling her 'Apparition' or 'Blank Slate', but neither really work.

He did once try and turn everyone on Earth into gamma mutates in an annual, and of course there's Middletown. Seeing him create a worldwide Egopolis that would put Doom to shame could be horribly disturbing if we see what kind of laws he would implement.

Reposting my shitty G.R.U.T.A.N revamp idea.
>Government does another one of their "let's make our own Hulks and weaponize them" kind of things
>This time, they're not hunting the original down, but combining what they already have with technology to make an artificial, biomechanical Hulk
>Using Albert Poole's blueprints of his Grutan robot, combined with Pym tech, the best the government can reproduce of the Hulk, and parts of the Redeemer armor, the newest replication of the Hulk, is born, G.R.U.T.A.N (Giant Robotic Ultimatum To All eNemies)
>G.R.U.T.A.N comes equipped with Pym shrinking and enlargement technology, gamma absorption tech, concentrated UV lamps, and much more, all made to take down the Hulk.
>G.R.U.T.A.N , while made of both flesh and metal, also requires a pilot to keep it in check. Should there be no pilot, G.R.U.T.A.N will soon find itself thinking on it's own. Additionally, should the pilot's control be displaced while they are inside G.R.U.T.A.N, the pilot would be consumed by G.R.U.T.A.N's inner mind, and would be assimilated by the monster within.

>Who’s missing you ask? The prideful angel
Missing? He's been around for a while.

We're gonna get imagery of Lucifer falling from Heaven with Blonsky's corpse falling from Jupiter to Earth.

He was at the end of issue #25

I know Mimic has long been a moniker associated with the X-Men, but I don't think it's out of place here. Maybe Ranitomeya, or even Imitator, even if it is a little too on the nose. The point is, there's a species of Poison Dart Frog known for mimicking a similar species with that title.

Also, I'd give her face the faintest hint of skull features underneath. Like an oscar statue, or Cassandra Cain's Batgirl mask. Gotta play up the horror aspect.

This is similar to the art teased in #34

Body contortion would also be a neat visual

You know I think, The Leader once called Freehold a "New Eden" or something. Eden + Tree of Knowledge + Pride. There's some angle in this.

Of course, that would be even better.

Is there even a good Leader comic?

Yeah, I remember the Leader was at the end of issue #25, I just thought I missed something because Leader didn't look like he was in the Below Place, and someone posted a comment that seemed to know what happened between then and this image, but I guess he was just guessing based on what's shown here.

I still say Samson's going to fill the Prideful Angel role.

>Considers himself the authority on Gamma psychology and Bruce Banner
>Prideful about his responsibility for Banner to the point of actively impeding anyone else who tries to handle him on multiple occasions
>Currently the most outwardly well-adjusted Gamma person repressing his issues
>Has a history of antagonistic turns dating back to his origin

That looks great.

Incredible Hulk #115-117, Incredible Hulk Annual #11, Incredible Hulk #337-346 are all pretty good, if fairly basic superhero stories. I haven't read the Freehold story in a while though.

The original arc from Tales to Astonish #60-74 is also essential reading not just for The Leader, but for establishing the classic Hulk formula. The ending is a bit disappointing, but clearly it's going to be essential to the next few issues as seen here

He has some good moments in, of all things, the Bruce Jones run.

I think they fucked under the shadow of a nuclear explosion.

Not bad.

They did.
I love the trope of mutually evil villains who find each other, so I hope she didn't die in the interrim.
