Hulk no more?

I think Joe Quesada really wants Marvel as a whole to turn into his dark and twisty Marvel Knights-Ultimates thing where everything is bleak, depressing, torn down and fucked up.

And y'know that's fine for a side-line, like Ultimate Marvel, which IMHO is one of the bleakest views of the MU I've seen this side of a What If...? issue, where everything always goes to hell in a handbag.

I say... move that fucker Quesada to Ultimate or reboot Marvel Knights, and then put a REAL EIC in charge of Classic Marvel, someone who can hold the torch high and put the FUN back into the Classic Marvel. I shouldn't have to resort to back issues or those Marvel Adventures comics to actually have fun reading a Marvel comic, not feeling like I need to take a shower and see a priest afterwards.

Same here. My LCS has started putting together grab bags of his Marvel Adventures. One bag will have 3 issues for $5 and I picked up two of those and had as much fun reading them as I should have picking up the normal 616 MU. A tad kiddier than I'd like but sadly closer to what the MU should be like than what it has been like the last 5 years.
 
Target was selling those Marvel Adventures comics in a sorta smaller trade format for a while, I picked them up when they clearanced them out for like 1.50 or something, normally like 5 bucks, but they were pretty good. I liked the Avengers one, with Storm, Wolverine, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Cap, Janet VanDyne as "Giant Girl" and the Hulk. Kind of an interesting meld of the 'New Avengers' and the Classic Team.

Sure the stories are a tad simpler, but they kept continuity, and the characterizations were pretty close to what they all should be.

They had Captian America die, now the Hulk is cured.

Who's next, Iron-Man?

No. Wolverine's next. At least that's what Marvel would have you believe with this teaser image they released about two weeks ago.

They made him look like a Terminator! Maybe they are trying to cash in on the new Terminator movie?:rommie:

Almost certainly. Subtlety is not a concept Marvel understands.
 
Wolverine is such a high-profile and omnipresent character that it would really surprise me if they retired the character even for a brief amount of time as they did Thor or Captain America. How would they fill the (several) gaps?

Fictitiously yours, Trent Roman

I would be suprised if it's even POSSIBLE to kill Wolverine. I mean how does one go about killing a guy who after being burnt down to a skeleton regenerated his whole body?
 
One of the major reason I stopped reading comics, They can never seem to leave a change in place. Even good ones. The orignal Green Lantern is back and I hear Barry Allen is coming back as well. I will give DC kudos for keeping those characters dead or out of the pictures for a long time. Marvel usually goes back tot he status Quo much quicker. My advice, comics suck, read novels they are much more interesting.
 
Chop his head off with the Muramasa Blade, a magic sword that can cut through adamantium, which Wolvie used to kill Sabertooth.
