Bruce Banner: The Hulk Appreciation 2020

[Immortal Hulk]

Well, now we know who it was in that preview now

(I can't find it, but basically "Rick" advancing on the scientist in that Evil Dead looking cabin)

Here it is if someone wants to rehost the pic:

And here he's attacking Titania and Jackie?

Hmm, Jackie didn't get hit

Maybe she had just enough time to take cover. Or “Rick” could have shielded her and took the blast on purpose.

What a preview! Poor Rick...Poor Big Guy...

I wonder if this event will cause the guilt Hulk to resurface in the mindscape. Because we all that Bruce will blame himself big time for this. Maybe even to where he attempts suicide again. As futile as that would be now...

I guess Rick did it. But there is another possibility: maybe, not unlike what happened with Gamma mutates, her body absorbed the rays...

I'd love to see that, and I think it's very likely to happen.

That thought occurred to me as well. Or maybe, her transformation will be triggered by the sunset; due to her wanting to be like the hulk. So her subconscious could “base” her gamma form off of him. Just like Rick became the teen Hulk. It’ll be interesting. Given all the build up and personal exposure she has had with the hulk, I can’t see her getting through the end of the run without getting mutated.

Agreed. She seems to be set up as a classic case of “be careful what you wish for”. That said Ewing talked about how he is constantly pulling the rug out on people’s expectations in that podcast IH posted a few pages back, so maybe she will end up staying a “normie”.

Rick/Leader shielded the entire news crew, and that was about it

And people thought the Rick Abomination was gross.....

Isn't there a preview page of Titania vs a construction vehicle like the one seen in this? Are we sure it's not from the Hulk?

Interesting idea. Also, Bruce commiting psychic suicide would line up with the whole issue 300 arc -- just saying

I agree, it's soooooo intentional.. truly evil.

Also, I like the name they coined on another board.. "Reader.. Rick/Leader"

[ChrisIII]

Still wonder if it's been the Leader since Rick's Resurrection or if he only takes control at some times.

Rick having an extra leg here also seems to be similar to his A-bomb appearence in #13, which also forshadowed his abomination having two heads.

[Immortal Hulk]

Talking about Guilty Hulk, how do you guys think He should look like both in the mindscape and externally? I'm curious about how his "voice" would be. With Ewing writing it, I don't think He would be a mindless beast.

That certainly beats the alternative 'Licker'

[Celgress]

Wow, another Thing (the movie) type monster to battle our horror Hulk, oh, how sweet it is.

Resident Evil already has those. LOL.

I guess we'll see much worse than that in the future.
