World War Hulk

[SuperXAsh]

Apparently this is set to occur right after both the Civil War and Planet Hulk events end.

Just the title alone, which is all we've got so far, sounds like bad news for the rest of the Marvel U. I think, from the sound of it, Hulk's coming home... and is not in the most happiest of moods about recent events.

-Which could spell BIG trouble for Iron Man, Mr. Fantastic, Namor, Nick Fury, Dr. Strange, Black Panther, and Black Bolt.

Course, this could be something else entirely, we only have the title so far, so this could change between Now and Then.

[Gorjirus]

C'moooooooooonnnnn new Hulkbuster armor!

That's what I'm rooting for.

[Cole Deschain]

Eh. Black Bolt and Namor should be fine.

Reed, T'Challa, Nick, Tony and Stevieboy, though... *shudder*

[THE ONE AND ONLY]

Actually , Black Bolt's @$$ is grass as well. For he was one of those who voted to send the Hulk into space. T'Challa on the other hand was never involved in Illuminatti business from the start. The ones who will put into a hurt locker as well are Iron Man, Reed Richards, Dr. Strange, and unfortunatly Nick Fury since they used a Fury LMD to talk Banner into going to the space probe.

Anywho heres some stuff on the event that will shake the Pillars of Heaven as Jack Burton would say.
First is an article about the WWH panel:http://www.newsarama.com/NYCC/2007/Marvel/WWH.html
Then heres the spinoff mini from writer Frank Tieri(X-Men:Apocalypse Vs. Dracula) WORLD WAR HULK:GAMMA CORPS in which the U.S. Military sics the gamma empowered equivalent of the strike team from Predator on the Hulk.http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=103078
Finally heres the trailer for the event.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hPfxkilfjo

[Cole Deschain]

No, Black BOlt will be fine.

Because he's one of the very few Marvel characters I can see wiping the floor with the Hulk.

[Gorjirus]

Oh, and Charles. (Since there is an X-Men tie -in).

[Super Angillas]

So wait, how did the vote go when the Illuminati voted Hulk off the planet? I know it was Tony and Reed's idea, and that Namor punched Iron Man through the wall, But how did Strange vote?

Marvel won't do this, but I think it would be cool if at the end of WWH, the earth was divided up and ruled by Hulk, Namor, Black Panther, and Doom.

[THE ONE AND ONLY]

Strange was in on the vote to to send the Hulk into space, and he voted "Yes" when it came down to it. Remember, the Sorcerer Supreme had banished the Green Goliath to the interdimensional Crossroads when the latter was reduced to a total state of savagery by Nightmare.

[Zeptron]

I wonder how Hulk's return will affect Silent War, in which Black Bolt has declared war on Earth thanks to Quicksilver stealing the Terrigen Crystals.

[Cole Deschain]

He might forge an alliance of convenience with BB, even though he still blames him.

He can always thrash the inhumans later...

[Gorjirus]

Silent War is pre Civil War. WWH is post Civil War.

[Cole Deschain]

Well, judging by some cover art....

Black Bolt gets nerfed if he shows up ata all... Although that might just be cover art hyperbole.

[SuperXAsh]

I just wonder what side his cousin Jen's gonna be on. Specially if she finds out what Tony and co. did to Bruce.

The Sorceror Supreme? Gotta imagine that out of all of the Illuminati he'll be A-OK.

[Cole Deschain]

The Sorceror Supreme who NEVER. DOES. ANYTHING.

Five will get you ten he shows p at the end, waves his magic wand and fixes everything.

Yeah, that's the problem with having such a powerful character in the mix. Like was said in CW - he could fix everything with a flick of his pinkie. Makes him hard to write - sort of like pre-Crisis Superman was too powerful to be interesting (pre - CoIE, of course).

Nevertheless, he's able to summon and bind Mephisto. No way Hulk gets close unless SS lets him.

She does find out and she gets royally pissed too. I don't know if it's going to be in IRON MAN or SHE-HULK, but a special Marvel previews mini book outlining the aftermath of CW spoke of it. She's gonna be gunning for Tony in a big way, I and I don't mean in a see you in court kinda way, I mean in a She-hulk will smash kinda way.

[Gorjirus]

It's in She-Hulk.

And let me guess..... Ole Shellhead will probably lose when he shouldn't....

[godofPH]

Anyone else seeing this as a major oppurtunity for the disgruntled Anti-Reggers to get back by backing a certain angry green giant who has it out for Reed and Stark?

ENOUGH with the persecution complex, Gor! Why can't you just get behind the new Order, Wherein Cap is Dumb, Tony is evil, and Sentry is the way of the future? JOIN US, GORJIRUS!


And by "us," I mean Thor and Alpha Flight Fans, mourning in bitter seclusion.

[SuperXAsh]

Now we don't know how much of Frontlines is exactly canon. I won't mind the new "order" of things as long as it's aftermath is handled well.

As long as they don't suddenly surprise us all with "Tony's really a Skrull imposter or under the control of Kang or Loki."

[Zeptron]

You know, there's a big difference between evil &, well, a**holery. Ironman certainly isn't "nice," but neither is he the "personification of evil" all the sheep are proclaiming him to be. The Marvel Universe is all kinds of effed up right now, & with the country & the world so consumed by turmoil, they need a strong, wise, fearless leader to pull or, if necessary, push them through to the light; they need a leader who is not afraid to make sacrifices (which is what heroes are supposed to do in the 1st place). When you're fighting to protect your people, you don't always have the luxury of playing by the rules--and if it means ending long-standing relationships & alienating former friends/allies, so be it. Ironman may not be the most lovable character, but he firmly, steadfastly believes in the defense of his people, & he is not afraid to do what must be done to keep them alive--even if it means scorn & villification for the rest of his life.




In ways, he's a lot like Lord Conqueror.

[Super Angillas]

Sacrifice is only noble when it's not you sacrificing others to get what you want. But having the disgruntled anti reggers join with the Hulk should'nt happen. If he's so out for blood that collatiral damage won't matter to him, then siding with him would only prove that they are complete jerks, even worse than Tony.

Oh and I live in a happy place- namly the MC2 universe with Spider-Girl.

[SuperXAsh]

God... I was on the opposite side (with Cap) of this and I'm finding myself having to speak up on Stark's behalf. Talk about ironic.

Untill we get some more answers on this, I'm just gonna chalk up this issue of Frontline to another case of "a different writer doing his own little spin on the events." It's happened before during mega-arcs like this.

[Super Angillas]

It does seem that way. Do the marvel editors even check to see if the charecters are written consistently across the books, or do they just let the writers do whatever?
