Surprise surprise, another Marvel series is about to reach the 600 mark. On July 15, 2009 we will see Hulk #600. Marvel.com has revealed the McGuinness cover. We've previously seen the Alex Ross cover (to the right). There will also be a Tim Sale variant cover.
I don't know if it's just me that gets bothered by this change in numbering. I do appreciate the acknowledgment to all the previous issues. I just think they should've stayed at the original numbering to begin with. How many different volumes have we had for just the Hulk? The last volume was over one hundred until Hercules came and jacked it away. If a series is canceled for whatever reason and then brought back later, I just don't think you can pick up on the numbering. Actually I'd be more forgiving of that over the recent "cancel a series and then re-start with a new #1 the next month."
Anyways, maybe it's just me. Congrats to the Hulk for reaching his "600th" issue. Here's the synopsis again for the issue. Maybe we'll finally get some answers.
