COMICS: First Preview Of THE TOTALLY AWESOME HULK #1

Love Cho's art... but this looks horrendous.

Tehehehehe

I really hope this isn't the Asain hero who would be in the same class as Iron man and Cap Stan Lee was talking about a few months ago.


It's really not that hard to create new and fresh characters. I'll do one right now.

Tony Stark dies or disappears and Pepper Potts is the only on who can save the day. With her rescue armor mia Potts has to refit Starks new suit and become the Iron Maiden!!!


See pretty easy guys.

Does Cho still use his Iron Spider Armor? Whatever happened to that arch?

@PatW Hahahahahaha jersey shore hulk.

Frank Cho's art is like being bathed in deep fried sex.

Never been a huge Hulk fan, but this does feel very She-Hulk in tone. No shame in that.

I am all for diversity in comics. I understand things in comic books change...but ugh, since when did the hulk powers come from a braclet and power shorts...?

I haven't been keeping up with a lot of the new stories, so if someone wouldn't mind helping me understand the change.

@Bl00dwerK
What is Marvel's target demo these days? I would have to guess eleven-year-olds..."

Sooo... the same demographic as both major publishers have catered to for the past 60 years?

Eeeeerrmmmm errrr no thanks. This seems like Marvel Now 'Nova' but with far worse character and costume design. I love the new Nova, it's ace and good fun but we don't need two.

I mean there are so many Hulks with different names and adjectives that I don't care too much that they've made someone else the Hulk BUT i do think it's lazy;

It is far more difficult to think of new ways to move on classic characters making them relevant to today than just sticking a kid in 'the suit' and saying that it's modern cos he's young and non-white. Miles worked because he was a spiritual successor to Peter with a similar ethos and mindset but new problems. Nova works because it has real heart, grounding it in a real family dynamic.

This just seems like Marvel have gone 'kids like cocky brats and bright colours. Voila Cho Hulk!'

Already have a totally awesome cosplay ready for my son!

UGH.....Not that I don't have an open mind but damn Marvel and DC are reaching these days with their books. I'm currently working on a new brand of comic universe that evolves in real time. Five years into a characters run he will be five years older...or dead having been replaced.

lol @xinstituto looks like it! I like Amadius as iron spider rather than the Hulk... Guess I'm getting old, because i am missing the old status quo that was Marvel and DC.

passing on this. i dont think many of Marvel's new books are gonna make it past 12 issues

Loving the Rae & Ghost homage . Not feeling the gel haired Hulk tho lol.

"Spider-man being black people, everyone cheer.
Captain America being black people, everyone cheer.
Thor being female, nobody bat an eye.
Wolverine being female, nobody bat an eye.
The Hulk being Asian, everyone lose their shit."

Miles Morales had to grow on people. Most people love him... NOW.

Cap has quit the mantle several times, to have it picked up by others. Usually other white guys. It was a matter of time till Sam, Cap's best friend, took it up. Most people didn't "hate" the arc, but Marvel's wearing the it a bit thin at this point.

The vast majority people that liked the idea, and from everyone I hear from, the writing, of the She-Thor arc are people that don't care much about Thor, and people that hate Marvel fans. The latter cheer it simply to be contrarian.

X-23 as Wolverine doesn't bother most people, but it is yet another example (as are all of the ones you gave), of handing a woman or minority the table scraps of a white male identity, rather than giving them one of their own, and this being a substitute for "diversity" and "progressiveness".

No one likes Amadeus Cho. It's not his race, it's him.

Maybe titles like Avengers Pets and the Franklin Richards comics. Otherwise, the target has always been late teens and up, with both companies growing with the established base. Sex, death and existentialism (see: most of Starlin's Infinity Saga) are hardly being driven to small children.

"I'll give this a go because I have to support Asian characters because I'm Asian but, I wish Marvel had made a new character instead. This just feels wrong and it WRONGS the established character.

I don't expect this title to exceed beyond 10 issues before a backlash hits them and bring back Banner."

At least you're intellectually honest enough to realize that this a pandering attempt to bring in Asian readers. Of course, CREATING more Asian characters would be too much work, so, as stated above, giving a minority the table scraps of a white male's identity is much easier.

"WELCOME TO AMERICA, where they've forgotten how immigration started this country and xenophobia is rampant."

No one, not even Tea Party types, forget that America is established on immigration. What is forgotten, is that America begged them to come over in order to expand, and they came through Staten Island... the legal way. The days of North American expansionism, for all intents and purposes, are over.
