[...] September 20, 2008 in Adventure, Comics, Greg Pak, Hulk, Marvel Comics, Paul Jenkins, Ramon Bachs, Shawn Martinbrough, Superheroes, World War Hulk: Front Line by Devin Someone smash me! I’m a year late to the biggest summer comic book blockbuster of the century! Nothing will ever be the same! Wait, it’s a year later and everything’s the same. Oh well, so much for Marvel’s 2007 summer fracas World War Hulk. At least I didn’t pay $300 for all the issues and crossover tie-ins while it was coming out. [...]

“Apparently MJ leaves Petey when she becomes allergic to Tide.”

So, the statue is a tie-in to the storyline?? I suppose Laundy-MJ will be featured on several variant covers.

“Rumor is Hulk destroys 616 earth completely and the whole Marvel universe starts from scratch.”

Ah-HA! So THIS is how Joe Quesada plans to seperate Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson!

There are serious rumors out there to support Hector’s theory. Rumor is Hulk destroys 616 earth completely and the whole Marvel universe starts from scratch.

That would take big balls on Marvel’s part. If they did it I would have HUGE respect for them on the attempt alone.

Hector, that is one of the worst Ideas I’ve ever heard. That said, I almost always ignore DC and Marvel when some huge crossover event happens. (shhh..that’s not usually where the more talented artists are)

Of course, I will be anticipating DC’s Green Lantern wars soon to come!! :)

I don’t care what they say it’s going to change, I loves me some Hulk! I’ve been looking forward to World War Hulk more and more as I’ve read Planet Hulk. This Hulk is mean and I can’t wait for him to get home.

crazy theory:

one more crossover [maybe his one] and they can destroy Marvel Earth 616. then start focusing on another dimension, where the status quo is reset. Spider-man has a secret identity, Iron Man is in-character, Rogers is alive etc.

one unlucky pariah could be the sole interdimensional survivor, like DC’s Psychic Pirate. hell, it could be Marvel’s Crisis.

hey, Joe Q., I’ll only charge $ 220 [x 100] for that.

You know what’d surprise me? The time they use a line like “Everything in the Marve Universe will be the same!”

In times of instability and chaos (as we seem to be facing nowadays), wouldn’t it be nice to have something stable for a change? Guess I’ll have to get my stability fix from TVLand and TCM instead.

Notice how they keep saying “Nothing will ever be the same again,” when what they mean is “Nothing will ever be the same. Again…”

“Nothing in the Marvel Universe will ever be the same!”

I remember a time when this phrase actually MEANT something.
