Bruce Banner: The Hulk Appreciation 2019

[Hypestyle]

has there ever been a Lou Ferrigno tribute cover at all? Any of the comics? one-shots, etc.?

I think Puck mentioned that Gamma mutates are "metaphor people" so each one is the physical representation of a concept.

True, it's been observed in the past that gamma plays on a person's inner emotions. So they represent a part of themselves (hence Samson's powers depending on his hair) and all of Banner's personalities

I thought there was one or two variants a few years back...based on this famous promo image.


As to what series, I have no idea.
Incredible Hulks, Indestructible Hulk? Hulk?

Google hasn't been very helpful for me at the moment.
Or I could be wrong.

[McFarlane's Green Hulk]

Duhhhh! There's this one from the Hulk magazine.
I knew I had a brain fart...

I always like seeing these two battle one another. I'm also surprised at how eloquent Juggy use to be with his words lol.

Avengers: No Road Home #1 was great. The characterization was perfect (which is expected from Ewing), He's portrayed as this scary force of nature, and I can't wait to see more of him and Clint together!

Banner's transformation to Hulk. It's not been treated as pleasant, of late.

Though PAD did allude to it being painful in his Hulk novel.

[Cth]

Heh, I thought Angela Lipscombe was just drawn bad.. then I realized it's Samson.

So, no not a flashback to the ALS days unfortunately.

It's been painful both ways since Incredible Hulk #1.

Just not as visually horrific.

Hmmmm, Samson's still there. I wonder if another story arc is gonna start? I hate how inaccurate the solicitations have been for this run.

[Immortal Hulk]

Inaccurate? How so??
