They better explain why half of this folks are even bothering with this. Hulk was fine in jail and for no reason at all they started attacking him.

Sounds good to me and Pelletier's art is perfect for a Hulk book.

I tired of Banner being dead. My guess is Jen is dead.

Jen's in the Savage She-Hulks mini that ties into this event (I think it starts in March) so we know she's still around.

Didn't Marvel do a "Fall of the Mutants" in the '90's?

I'm just saying the "Fall of the ...." is kind of old.

All the Savage She-Hulk minis I've seen recently have been about Lyra. Do you have a link?

They've mentioned this a few times now, here's one link from a FVL interview.

Q: How far out do you have Lyra's adventures planned? And how connected is her current adventure to the approaching "World War Hulks" storyline?

FVL:This directly ties into "World War Hulks." Lyra discovers things that lead into a new 'World War Hulks: She-Hulks' mini-series. Soon there will be three She-Hulks and, this being comics, that means they should all fight. [Laughs]. It also blows open something that readers of Jeph Loeb's 'Hulk' series have been wondering about for some time. At a certain point during the 'Lady Liberators' storyline Red Hulk and Thundra made a pact, and Thundra is Lyra's mother. So what's the connection there?

Art looks great, and Parker does a good job selling the story, but this makes me want to cry:

Loeb was very adamant about going after the Fantastic Four and the Avengers and some other heroes to be appearing in here, like the X-Men.

Enough with all the pointless gueststars Loeb! It's getting real old

I hate to say it, but this has me interested, especially since Pelletier is the artist.

That was only a very passing remark about Jen even being alive, otherwise there is no mention of any plans for the character. And, a dead She-Hulk is still a She-Hulk.

In the spirit of the equal speculation the only image that has surfaced with her featured for this event is the "Fall of the Hulks" cover with her and all the other Hulks looking dead. Marvel seem to have moved passed She-Hulk for now.

Actually, the image at the top of the article references an image from that crossover, IIRC (and I apparently do).

I love guest stars, pointless or otherwise! Bring 'em on, Loeb!

Actually it was in the late eighties.

i hope the leader is really brought to the forefront in this whole event. he is the hulk's pre-eminent foe, it is about time he got the respect he deserves
