Now that's weird as when I looked it up on Amazon and google, it didn't pop up but then again I didn't know it was an omnibus.

So 31 issues in total(including the annuals) for 100 bucks.... isn't that bad of a deal taking a look at the other omnibuses Marvel produces... but I do feel it could be 75 at most but hey that's just me. Could be worst, it could be like the dark phoenix omnibus which has... 12 issues in it, FOR 75 DOLLARS!!! But looking at it this way now, you have two choices. Either go the budget way and get the dark horse one with no colors OR get the expensive omnibus with colors.

So casual Marvel fan question.

Whats the story behind Red Hulk?

One man wanted to create an EXTREME character for Hulk and show off his EXTREMENESS by killing off one of Hulk's most memorable villains in a very lame disrespectful manner. He then came up with the idea of just throwing a different paint color on Hulk and boom, the birth of red hulk.

Oh hey Hellspawn, we can add that to the list of characters who's still dead.

But basically Red Hulk is spoiler warning. Spoiler Warning. Spoiler warning third time is General Ross and he teamed up with Modok or something and he became the red hulk but he can't transform back.

Red Hulk is weaker then he was when he first appear in the comics. He beat Odin Force Thor which piss off a lot of people and Thor won after the rematch. I remember Red Hulk also nearly killed both Terrax and Silver Surfer at once, I was like "WTF?".

He didn't nearly, HE DID! He killed Hulk... with a Harpoon in the heart, he decapitated Terrax with his axe, he broke Sufer's neck and drained him of his power cosmic because apparently he can do that, he knocked off Namor's block with said harpoon, I believe he fried tiger shark but he killed him either way, I believe Dr. Strange and his archenemy(not flaming head) also got killed by him, and to top it all off he KILLED Grandmaster with... His fists. One of the elders of the universe with immortality gets killed by Rulk's fists... yeah.

Is that Devil Dinosaur? Color me interested! I've always thought A-Bomb looked really cool and I've developed a soft spot for The Thing ever since picking up the first volume of the Fantastic Four omnibus (wish he looked less like a golem and more fleshy like he did when Jack Kirby drew him).

But I digress, that series sounds like a lot of fun. I'm game.

I always thought mini-series(es?) turned out better.

Titties.... uhh.... huh.

Kind of wish Fraction and Brubaker would do a book together, a book focusing on specifically Capt and Iron man. And if this Godly book does exist, please tell me!

So Silver Surfer: Devolution TPB came today, basically a Pak story involving Surfer, Galactus, a new character called Seeker and THE HIGH EVOLUTION (my favorite anti-villain). This has caused me to go back to Silver Surfer Vol. 4 and start collecting ALL Earth-616 Surfer appearances.

This wont be that had as I own a few myself and you wont believe this ...my MOTHER likes Silver Surfer and owns I think the first 14 issues and 2 of the stories (Requiem and In Thy name).

Anybody seen this yet?

http://blog.newsarama.com/2011/06/03/br ... ng-honest/

I so want to be excited for this, but I just can't shake the feeling that something is going to go wrong at the last minute. If not, though, this is going to be pretty BAMF. I mean, they're trying to get Gaiman to come back and actually finish his story! How awesome is that?

He died to save the Hope for all mutantkind.

But something is going to end that Hope.

And now.....CABLE has returned.

And that threat to Hope ,THE AVENGERS, will face his sanction this December.
