Vince MechMahon posted:Maybe it fits into a certain spot in continuity and they're numbering it as such? That numbers are meant to line up with the main title, which just had a #700 special and will have eight regular series numbered issues between that and this. I wonder if they'll jump a 'leg' number when the monthly ships at the same time. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Nov 21, 2018 |

Sure, but I think the monthly should contribute since the leg numbering was directly picked up from there, if only to highlight how silly it all is. Those issues will probably be counted in to get Avengers #800 moved up six-ish months anyway. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 01:51 on Nov 21, 2018 |

I do like the idea that there's some nerd who has to keep track of what comics with the word Avengers in the title count and what ones don't. I'm assuming none of the ones that also had the word West Coast or Great Lakes in their title did not. What about the Dark Avengers? Because I know they are definitely count at least some of the various versions of New, Mighty, All New All Different, Next and US. Not sure how Occupy Avengers fits in.

Before this, only the main Avengers title counted Avengers 1-402 Avengers v2 1-13 Avengers v3 1-84, 500-503 New Avengers 1-64 Avengers v4 1-34 Avengers v5 1-44 All New All Different Avengers 1-15 Avengers v6 1-11 Avengers 672-690 Avengers 1-10 That's 700. That means 11-13 is 701-703, but this new mini starts with 708. That tells me that 704-707 is Avengers 14-17. So this new mini slots in after Avengers 17.

Ewing is a bit more hit and miss for me than I know he is for some on here but his Hulk has been excellent throughout. That it's closer to a horror book makes it really stand out from a lot of the other superhero books on the shelves and it's the Marvel book I always find myself looking forward to reading any week it's out.

Yeah he said straight up when he got the book it was going to be a horror book. I'm not sure people really thought it would be to the extent it is though.

Immortal Hulk and the reforming bit where he absorbed the dude is the first on panel killing by The Hulk, right? I think literally everyone in the Avengers who fought him in the previous issue has a higher body count aside from Jen Walters and maybe Robbie Reyes.

Dawgstar posted:Did Jen kill that town or just level it? I didn't actually read Hulk when it was about Jen, I just assumed she hadn't killed anyone. And Reyes killed Starbrand (on accident) so at the time Banner Hulk was the only person there who'd never killed anyone and The Avengers destroyed a town to capture him. To save a guy who'd killed four people and Hulk stopped before he could kill anyone else.

I always took it as Hulk never deliberately picked up a human and folded them into an envelope, while people probably die indirectly from him all the time.

I still don't understand why the Avengers went after him. I get Danvers selling out someone whose saved the world a poo poo ton to protect loving Sasquatch, but I don't get Tony, Thor or Steve going along with it. Especially because of the Civil War 2 bullshit.

I think because at this point he's just an unknown. Hulk's been everything from dumb as a brick weapon to totally in control hero, and the last time any of them saw him was in No Surrender when he wasted a room full of his friends, and seemed totally conscious of doing it without any brainwashing or anything. They probably just want to see if he's a threat*. And (even if it's wrong information), their current intel shows the Hulk causing deadly incidents in his wake. *Probably unrelated but justifiable in-universe, Amadeus Cho briefly turned heel a few months ago before having to get some gamma sucked out of him, and She-Hulk's only barely keeping herself from going total rage machine, so the Avengers might just be wary of Hulks in general.

They probably just want to see if he's a threat. And then, welp. Yeah, but literally the last time they violently confronted Bruce Banner Clint "killed" him and it started Civil War 2, which ended up with Tony Stark in a coma. And it was all because of Carol Danvers being dumb. Tony was in AA, he knows the phrase "the definition of insanity is repeating an action and expecting a different result." For that matter so does Carol Danvers.

Wasn't Banner always at the Reed/Stark level? That's like half the tragedy of the whole thing. He's one of the smartest people on Earth but half the time he's a dumb monster that's stronger than literal gods. If he's not smarter than, I don't know, Peter Parker, why are we supposed to care about the Banner side of the equation?
