The last page alone makes it incredible. A game changer!

I'd like to see a new Hulk solo series, not based on "Agents of Smash" (though I'm glad that was successful). I guess at this point the producers' inclination would be to cherry pick from his overall history, but I'd be more enthused to mainly use characters from the first 25 years or so. Not really feeling the Pantheon and most of the characters from that era forward. I would also feel that the current comic arcs are too dark for an episodic animated show. Fine for the comics, though. Hopefully Mr. Ewing gets to continue his arcs.
Out of curiosity, that letter in the back asking about a counterpart to Gamma – did anybody pick up what he was referencing? I know it doesn't much matter because Ewing said that's not likely where he's going with it, but I'm curious nonetheless.
A good issue, better than most comics this month. But I think that we have lost what made this run so special: the body horror, the underlying fear, the terrifying visions of Joe Bennett. The only Cronenbergian mutation was in the shadow..
This was a very good issue, but too classic for me: The bad guy is cartoonishly evil (I alway have a problem with vilains who kill their henchmen or employees for no good reasons: why any talented people would want to work for him...: from a business perspective, it's just stupid), and there is no doubt that the Hulk is right to fight a war criminal who did crime against humanity... and I prefer when we are not sure of the intentions of this Hulk.
But Ewing continue to be one the best writer of Marvel and even if this arc is too classic compared with his first issues, it's still very entertaining and well-written.
I try to improve my english, feel free to correct me by DM if you see some mistakes !
BTW this issue was amazing, i am so glad Hulk finally lost his weakness, the stakes have never been higher now.
My friend who is a big Superman fan isn't gonna be happy about it lol.
Oh, I meant the letter writer, not Ewing.

Ewing says that he thinks the guy is barking up the wrong tree, but I'm still interested in what tree that would have been.
Again, it's been a long time since I've seen such an amazing last page. Had to use it as my new wallpaper!
Well, as Ewing has said, Hulk is now a system. I guess He'll have the best of every part of the system.
Thing is... it makes no sense whatsoever in this day and age for one server farm to be such a weak spot, especially with stuff like "RoxxFace" - Facebook has servers all around the world working in redundancy. So do most other major websites, either on their own or through something like Amazon Web Services. Partly to give faster response times and partly to avoid... well, if I say "something like this", you'll understand that I mean "everything collapsing offline because a server farm goes down for external reasons" rather than specifically "a giant green man destroying the building with his fists", right? Most downtime is due to lack of capacity (either organically when something big happens or because of a distributed denial of service attack) or some configuration cock-up/bug that propagates across all the servers, not because a data centre's down.
Ewing feels at least a decade out of date on that point.

I think the idea is that they didn't want anyone getting access to their servers. You never know when Stark, or some superhacker, or technopath, or magician is gonna stumble upon your system, (not the Marvel Universe anyway.) So it might make sense to store everything in one location which is defensible and have internal redundancy rather than scattering everything everywhere.
Admittedly, not necessarily the best plan, but something I can see a corrupt corporation coming up with.
