Hulk 2014-

@bezza Yea i gave Waid ample opportunity but enough is enough. Time for a new writer and a new direction.

Not nitpicking at you lvenger, but you tore into me in a rather fierce manner for saying the same thing early in Waids run. Even going so far as to applaud Waids crap characterization and slow pace. It's cool, at least we can agree now

@raynorj

Well I just read issue 2 for myself, what a mess! Also having not followed Waid's run until now, I didn't have a clue what was going on, in respect of the split Banner and Hulk personalities....

I also picked up Amazing Spiderman 1 today and the Flash Annual as they feature two of my other favourites and what a difference, those two comics so much more enjoyable!

..June cant come quick enough for me, bring on Savage Hulk!

..Just read the IGN review too and its another 5.7, which proves its not just Hulk fans that think the new run Is meh! One of the worst points of the issue was them making that abomination and then it appearing in action right away, almost as if Waid realised at the end of the comic that he hadn't had any Hulk action and needed to squeeze in an obligatory scrap!

@bezza Unfortunately there just isn't any hope for Waids Hulk to ever get better at this point... actually this was clear a long time ago but the interviews Waid gave for the relaunch where promising, too bad it was just a bunch of empty promises and bullshit.

@bezza The thing is it would be fine if not EVERY single issue of Hulk had action in it, but i guess this is the problem that Waid does not get. I said it time and time again he does not view Hulk as his own character he views him as a gun he just needs to point in the right direction. Which ironically he can't even point right most of the times....

I send Waid i question on twitter about what is Hulks agenda in all of this, let's see if he replies.

@theacidskull: I thought Bruce had a pretty good showing in this weeks Avengers

@theacidskull: @raynorj

Me too, I sent Waid a tweet a week or two back and got no reply...

Yeah and to all those people who came on this forum the other week and said Hulk fans were just whiney, its not only us who don't rate Waid's Hulk run, the reviews are rubbish too. Its not the same as Waid's Daredevil run which is getting rave reviews in the comic book media, but poor reviews from some of the traditionalist Daredevil fans...

@theacidskull:

Will have to check it out, I am intruiged!

@theacidskull: Yeah the talk between Banner and Stark was one of the best things coming out of the issue.

Did you read New Avengers yet if I can ask ?

@theacidskull: Yea if you like to see Banner put Tony Stark in his place

Banner being a part of the Illuminati is to just keep tabs on the folks that like to send him into space on occasion ;)

@theacidskull: Well it ties it to it or at least some of it anyway .

@theacidskull: Psst Lou Ferrigno Claims a New Hulk Film Will Follow 'The Avengers: Age of Ultron'

Why don't you like Banner being part of the Illuminati?

He wants to keep an eye to them.Or at least that's the way I understand the whole thing cause he seemed pretty mad when he understood what was happening.

I read this article by Lou (I follow his facebook page, its very funny) and hasn't it since been followed up by some sort of announcement in the past day or so?!

Lou posted this the other day which made me laugh.

Good job Lvenger is on a 3 week study leave break or he might have something to say about this-lol!!

..Well, its official, I cancelled my issue of Waid's Hulk today. Just gonna wait for Savage Hulk,

I cant afford to waste money on mediocre comics, I follow a number of characters so have to limit by buying.

Ultimate irony is that one of my favourite current titles is Action Comics, by Grek Pak. I know most Hulk fans wouldn't approve of a Superman title, but I like Superman and think Pak has done a great job so far, writing Superman. Oh what we would give to have him back writing the Hulk just now!

@theacidskull:

I'm not surprised, Soule as done a good job on Superman/Wonder Woman, despite what all the haters on Comic Vine would have you believe!

@theacidskull:

Will have to look it up! I am getting too many titles for my meagre budget just now, not helped when Marvel keep bringing out new books I like, such as Magneto, but perhaps room for one more!

@theacidskull: Skaar YES! What are your thoughts on the matter?

@theacidskull: There's also this interview as well

Edit: My mistake it's the same thing.

@greenscar1990 Your wish has come true, Waid is now off the Hulk title. Gerry Duggan is on board with a Hulk style Armour Wars story. Feel free to dance in the rain and all that now Waid is off Hulk

I'll be interested to see the rest of the Hulk family possibly mix it up with the cast Waid has introduced. At least Hulk sounds fun again which is good.

Waid's off Hulk?

Wow. Maybe I should have seen it coming with all the complaints. I hope he can continue to be successful.

Now I just wait until he leaves Daredevil

This is Mark Waid we're talking about mate. One misstep doesn't stop him from being a juggernaut of a writer in the comic book industry. He still has plenty of talent and rep left in him :)

What about the angry fanboys? :D

@jonny_anonymous: Well at least when he does, you won't have to wait long to dance in the rain. You do live in Scotland after all :P

Pretty much lol I've not been reading Deadpool but so far his Nova run has been pretty good so I'm happy with the writer.

@lvenger haha it's been thunder and lightning since last night lol

First off, Waid is finally off and thank god and good riddance. No offense to Waid, i mean he is a great writer but he just isn't a great writer for the Hulk and nothing will change this fact.

As for this new guy i am very skeptical, i can't say that i enjoyed reading his interview he seems to want to bring a lot of humor to Hulk, which is ok i mean Hulk is a giant green monster in purple pants but i hope he doesn't turn the character intoa walking joke, this is not Deadpool after all. And humor is not exactly what Waids series was needing, it seems that this new writer isn't getting this fact either. Secondly i already said i never liked any of the other Hulk characters... Skaar, She Hulk, Red She Hulk, A-bomb... it's all the same to me honestly and i downright hate Red Hulks character.

And finally, WHAT ABOUT THE HULK? I know he has to say that Waid was "brilliant" on the Hulk whether it was true or not since they have to suck up to one another, but the fact is that Waids run is far from brilliant and all the promises Waid made what about them? Will we get Hulk as his own character? Will we get some decent villains? Will we get some good action and some of that very missed strength of Hulks? Nothing in the interview suggests this to me. I guess i will have to give him he benefit of the doubt and wait for him to actually begin writing the Hulk. But unlike Waid i wont be buying 20+ issues before i finally drop the damn thing, if he does not satisfy at least some of the problems i had with Waids run than in the span of few issues than i am dropping the book.

As much as i am excited and happy that Waid is off i am still very much skeptical and i don't want to get sucked into the hype train, because nothing good happens from that.

@theacidskull: @jonny_anonymous: @raynorj: Duggan seems to be pretty versatile as far as writing style, so I am officially hype for "Omega Hulk". Anyway, check out Good, Bad and the Ugly (Think it's volume three of the current Deadpool run) to see him write a funny book while keeping it serious and well, good. Should be interesting to see it unfold.

BTW: This isn't to any of you in particular just thought I would give my opinion quickly.

Hmmmm! interesting....... I guess I'll drop this for now and probably resume picking up Hulk on August again. I'm not sure about Duggan however as I don't remember reading his other works aside from the current Nova (which I personally don't like for consistency reasons). What other good works to you guys has Duggan done that I can reference?
