Iron Hulk Man thrown together by Wilbur
Filed under: mission
So in classic style, I picked up this issue of Iron Man/Incredible Hulk only to realize its definitely not a comic book at all, but rather a preview of like 10 other storylines for the Hulk/Iron Man universe. Which is fine I suppose because I have no idea whats going on and need a preview anyway, but this random selection thing is taking its toll.
So naturally this thing was chock full of images, which made me a big fan. Cutting the crap, the words the writing, all that junk. Get down straight to the meat of the matter with a teaser trailer of sorts. Several of those storylines look pretty interesting, although it was clear this issue thingy was released because of the upcoming movies.
The interesting part of this was there were 4 seperate frames of The Incredible Hulk eating pizza. He was chowing down on that shit. Also spiderman was creepily hanging off of his arm for no apparent reason, but thats not the point. It appeared to be pepperoni pizza which is a good sign. Oddly enough, pizza is a pretty well rounded nutrient source if you are looking for tons of calories that are body available. Seeing how the Hulk could probably use some juice, that is the right direction for him besides hunting and eating cows directly. It was even cited that Prefontaine ate pizza and beer the night before 10 mile runs. Thats a running legend at work, he could have been Hulk’s nutritionist. On second look at that article, the author is quite obsessed over Steve and makes a few sexual remarks about his “heaving chest”. Not unlike the Hulk. Perhaps Sports Illustrated should do an interview with him, and get that writer all riled up.
Or perhaps there should be an entire story arc devoted to the life and times of superheros in the eyes of the media and talk shows. Now theres something that gets massively glossed over through the course of comics, the everyday lives. Maybe I do want to watch the Green Lantern making breakfast and reading the paper. He probably does it cool. And I bet the Flash is a lazy bitch because he can wait 5 seconds before he needs to get something done. These are the real things I’m interested in, give me some issues on that!
