WWH Hulk: Gamma Corps Issue 4 (of 4!)
Writer and Artists are the same

Is someone throwing a party? I feel like they should after completing that blunder of a boring, cheesy, kid-filled line, Hulk adventure. I have read many of them in my day, but I will be very reluctant to pick up another A-rated comic for a long time. Good thing next on cue is Hellboy (ooo, teaser!). Have you ever started something that you highly disliked but stuck through it just to get your money’s worth? What most comes to mind is film. I haven’t sat through many shitty movies (because I rarely go to ones I don’t want to see), but I have been a couple. One that sits vividly is Michael Bay’s (begin sarcasm) masterpiece (end sarcasm) The Island. That was one of the worst movies I have ever sat through, and I did just that, I sat through it. I don’t know why we do it, but there has got to be a reason.

Money seems like an obvious explanation, but I think it’s more than that. It’s kind of like selling a stock that is plummeting. We try to salvage the little we have left, hoping we could at least get something back. So we hang in until the end watching pure and utter shit hoping there will be a little something to turn it around. In the case of The Island that never happened. In terms of selling a stock for some money back. I’d say I lost about all of my $8 admission except for maybe 50 cents in being able to see Scarlett Johansson on the big screen. It also scarred me so much that I have not seen a Michael Bay movie since then, even causing me to pass up Transformers. This comic didn’t really pay off either. There was a ridiculous cliffhanger where apparently the Gamma Corps think they can kiss the Black Bolt. Are you fucking kidding me? You guys couldn’t even beat the Hulk. You think you’re going to take down the most badass, most powerful thing in comics? That was totally not worth the wait. I’d rather the Gamma Corps to have found out they were all pregnant. Or something. 

But yeah, I don’t think I’ve ever walked out of movie. Crazy, huh? I guess I just never really have a rush to go anywhere. But with that said, I’ve definitely turned off movies that I’ve rented, and if we put two and two together, that really doesn’t make sense. You’d think the two would run hand-in-hand, no?

What’s your watch to turn-off rate? Am I the only one who sits through pure and utter shit?
