Not sure why this was posted on the MU forum instead of here, but in case any of you, like me, missed the announcement...

interesting, didn't know that too.
But great to see Loeb and Sale again on a book again.
Liked their work together a lot so far.

I haven't read any of the Loeb/Sale "colors" books. I noticed that Daredevil yellow and Hulk Gray are the appropriate colors, but Spider-Man Blue and Cap White are not. What is the significance of the coloring scheme and/or title with the color attached?

OK, cool news! I'll have to wait for the Hardcover collection though, so it goes nicely alongside my Spider-Man: Blue & Daredevil: Yellow hardcovers. I'm anal about stuff like that!

I have to say though that Hulk: Grey completely passed me by. Might have to look into getting this (in hardcover of course). Anybody here read it? Is is as good as Blue and Yellow?

Well, according to the CBR piece that’s linked to in the first post (you might wanna read it) the colour reflects something of the characters state of mind in the books as well as an element of their costume.

So “Yellow” refers to cowardice and Daredevil’s original costume, while Grey refers to the fact that the Hulk's neither good or bad but somewhere in between (in a grey area) and his original skin colour.

Blue refers to Peter Parker's mood concerning Gwen Stacy's death and of course the blue in Spidey's costume. White reflects Captain America's purity of heart and the white in his costume.

Spider-Man has a significant amount of blue in his costume, and it was about post-Gwen guilt, so it fit his mood. Cap has a significant amount of white in his costume, with the A, the stars and the stripes. And blue was already taken. And presumably, the white will fit in with the emotional color spectrum somehow.

EDIT: And I owe Confessor a Coke. I should really wait till I get to the bottom of the page...

As with all of Jeph and Tim's collaborations I expect only the best of this story.

I'm not sure if I will buy it in individual issues though, most likely I'll wait for the trade like I have with the other color books since they are always superior in that format.

I will wait for trade too, i collect Tim Sale mostly in trades to have as high quality paper and best look as possible on his art :)


Recently i read Hulk Gray, by far the best Hulk look. Loeb didnt have to write the story, one look on the animal looking Hulk told you really more than 1000 words ;)
