I still really enjoy Daredevil, and I've never even seen the Director's Cut.

[RedRonin]

Honestly?

No idea.

Just nothing in my mind is going "Maybe you should check out Uncanny Avengers, maybe."

My mind is defintely going:
"I hope my shop actually remembers to order the IDW Judge Dredd for me."
"Perhaps I should see if I can get them to order a second printing copy of Think Tank #1 and add it to my pull..."
"YaY! This week has both Artifacts and Scarlet Spider! Woo!"
"Would it be a good idea to grab at least the first issue of the new Deadpool for my comic-curious, and Deadpool obsessed, college friends?"

I'll just wait till they add Moon Knight to the book and you're forced to buy it.

Strange, I know. Though, who ever said I had good taste, eh?

No one. In fact I've the said opposite many, many times.

I always thought DD got a bum rap. I didn't think it was terrible.I think it was horribly miscast but if you use that plot with better or more suited actors you get a decent flick. Supposedly the directors cut was a improvement but Ive never seen it

I'm actually on the other side of the fence. I think the cast was pretty decent, on paper, but the writer/director Mark Steven Johnson was the problem. This is the man that also gave the world the first Ghost Rider. Affleck, Farrell, and to a lesser extent Duncan can all be good with the right material and direction (haven't seen enough of Garner to feel one way or they other), I just don't think they got it in DD.

You should watch Elektra. I thought it was just fascinatingly bad. Maybe not as bad as this scene, though.

Oh my that's awful. My toes are curling.

Some info on the series

The reception to our approach on "Daredevil" had a lot to do with how I'm coming at Hulk -- assuming that everything we know about Hulk is still true, everything he's been through -- but, as we did with Daredevil, having Banner turn a corner and deciding to take a whole new, less "woe is me" view of his condition.

In 1962, Hulk was one of the most unique characters ever in comics because he viewed his powers as a curse, not a blessing. But that point of view is no longer unique -- heck, that's practically the emotional keynote of half the superhero books currently running. So Marvel gave their blessing to morph that attitude into something a little more heroic.

Maria Hill and Bruce Banner are the main players in the series, and their Byzantine relationship is both funny and dark and they're a blast to write as a quasi-partnership. And Banner will be in a lab again and will have a band of assistants who all have two things in common: they're all brilliant in their fields, and they have nothing to lose should they suddenly find they're sharing close quarters with an angry jade behemoth.

Finally someone is using Hill again. Feels like she disappeared after Fraction crapped on her.

Re other Hulks:

At first, the emphasis lies strictly with Bruce and his alter-ego, but ["Hulk" writer] Jeff Parker and I have already been sharing scripts, and I do want Bruce to have to come to grips with what he's wrought.

Hopefully "come to grips" = kills them all.

Although it's a given, it should still be stated Lenil Yu is awesome:

Well, I was always drawing the regular Wolverine and Hulk in the Ultimate Universe. I was very relieved that I didn't have to draw the young Wolverine with a goatee.

I'm also a huge fan of Sci-Fi and video games so this is definitely right up my alley. I just love drawing technology.

He loves drawing technology. LOVES it. Iron Man is setting right there waiting for someone who loves to draw that kind of thing, instead Marvel gets the guy that doesn't like drawing anything, just tracing porn.

WAR ON IRON MAN!

I think that's my least favorite Hulk I've ever seen from Yu. The hair looks terrible, and I'm not digging the Ladronn-like coloring.

I'm sticking to my prediction about the TOTALLYNOTSKEETS robot being a S.H.I.E.L.D. monitor, and the armor on Hulk being a restraint if he's seen to be a threat.

I more disappointed Sunny Gho is still coloring his interiors.

Post now updated with series info! Yu talked about them redesigning the hair:

One thing you guys missed out on are the various radical hairstyles the Hulk could've worn. We tried on a lot of variations, most prominent of which was the Mohawk. I am very happy with the final design we eventually went with. A new look. Almost sexy, something that is not usually associated with the Hulk.

I'm betting Queseada was pushing the mohawk.

It doesn't sound like that's what the Skeets thing is for, but it could easily be some ulterior motive going on.

Am I really not allowed to be indifferent about Uncanny Avengers?

UA indifference is a heinous crime!

[bebopeva88]

No. No, you're are not. You're either with us or against us!

Seriously, it's Remender and Cassaday in what they're saying will be the flagship title for the MU. How do you be indifferent to that?

With Wolverine!

And Havok!

UA indifference is a heinous crime!

Almost as big a crime as Remender getting paired with JRjr on Cap. Gut punch.

JJ Abrams Revolution.

Your gut reaction to that?
