Oh, for the love of God...
Damn delays.
Nearly every title, not just Hulk and Thor ongoings, have been delayed!
This is ridiculous and embarrassing for Marvel.
All this talk of delays, and no word of discussion about Peter David's Maestro mini series.
Which, unfortunately, is probably for the best.
I could write an essay on the excellence of Future Imperfect with regards to Hulk's character and mythos.
And I could write another one about how PAD's mini squanders it all
It has its moments every now and then, and it has its rough spots, but it's never really grabbed me.
The Hulk has gone through a lot over the last 20 years (esp. in the last few years), so despite being set in "the (alt-)future" I feel like it's a story that's come out 15 years too late.

So far, I felt they were over-padded and underwhelming in terms of story and artwork.
At most, they should have been double-sized and AT MOST...three issue limited series.
Just as stated, issue #1 should have been "Persecution"...leading into #2 as "Betray" and ending with "Hatred".
From there, follow that same patter in the next mini and expand on how he builds his kingdom.
If it warranted a third series, let it lead directly up to their meeting in Future Imperfect.
And I would have done anything and everything to get Paul Pelletier back from DC to do the artwork for it. Damn, his Maestro rocked in those Exiles issues.
Anyone pick up the New FF #1, with the Hulk, Spidey, Wolverine, Ghost Rider line-up?
I'd be kind of curious if it somehow foreshadows/call-forwards Joe's stuff in IH, which is something I've noticed with some of his humor, but I'm not sure how he feels about Immortal Hulk, and I think he's stated he rarely reads runs after his own.
On a similar note, I just thought it amusing Hulk saying, "Human? why would I want to be Human?" From the first Hulk issue, and thinking of how the Gray Hulk/Joe pretty much was stuck in human form in most of IH. (Although it's debateable that the Hulk persona in Incredible #1 was Joe or another persona in the body Joe later uses since they're obviously very different).

I did. I remember liking the "New FF" when they first appeared, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
Not a lot to say on this one yet as the story seems pretty basic so far. I seem to remember Joe being... unusually civil in this one.
Also, the threat doesn't seem really worthy of their time, but it's early yet, so we'll see where they go with this.
^Joe can occasionally be a softy. We kind of saw that in Immortal a bit, after being a bit adversarial to savage in the old #370s he pretty much acts like a protective older brother to him, especially after Bruce gets captured and Devil is killed.
And of course a lot of his relationship with Betty.
