Speaking of ROM, I just read issue 49 earlier today and that was pretty hosed up. Literally every single member of the supporting cast is killed off and replaced by Dire Wraiths.

Literally The Worst posted:Other tab them not being similar at all, sure. I dunno, it's just striking me as really really drat similar to the Salvation, TX arc from Preacher so far, even down to the villain's front business being meat.

There's precursors. They'd also been a bit of a staple in pulp scifi for a while before Frank Herbert turned the dial up to 11.

Cool! I can't seem to find anything discussing Herbert's influences in the creation of his sandworms. But hoo boy did I find thorough recounting of their exact lifecycles! Thanks, the internet!

Incredible Hulk: Future Imperfect. Hulk is in a dystopian future, and that's Rick Jones's secret lair/nerd closet.

Thanks to everybody who helped me out in the Q&A thread. The Many Deaths of Wolverine is up. 40 issues of Logan death. So many instances of "and all that remained was a metal skeleton."

Peter David wrote a pretty good novel expanding on Future Imperfect called Incredible Hulk: What Savage Beast. It was pretty good when I was 15, anyway.

I also read that when I was 14 or 15. Didn't realise that was Peter David. I guess that explains why it didn't completely suck. I remember it being a lot grimmer than I expected, and surprisingly violent.

It occurs to me that Rick had to build that around where Thor's hammer landed, so wouldn't Maestro know exactly where it is? EXPLAIN THIS, PETER DAVID.
