Psych Ward: The HulkOct 7, 08
As posted in Marvel News: From the outset, it should be noted that the majority of this report is
based on naturalistic observation of the behemoth creature known as the
Hulk. As such, any opinions or diagnoses presented should be taken with
some skepticism as for most of the creature's existence, personal
interviews and/or sessions were not a possibility or were rejected by
it.
The Hulk is a humanoid of immense size. His skin tone has fluctuated,
over the years, between green and grey. Reports of a red hued Hulk are
being ignored for the sake of this report as a colleague, Dr. Leonard
Sampson, reports that the green/grey Hulk and the red Hulk are not one
and the same. The writer defers to Dr. Sampson in this area as he is
considered to be the leading expert on the Hulk, with the exception of
Dr. Bruce Banner.
In
addition to his varying skin color, the client has also exhibited a
wide range of dress and personal hygiene. In early sessions, it favored
little by way of grooming and was most often dressed in a seemingly
endless supply of purple pants. Upon resuming the grey skin tone it
initially possessed, the Hulk began to favor finer clothes, such as
tailored suits. Eventually, the Hulk once more returned to green. This
time, however, he seemed to be more aware of himself and, while not
embracing the fashion forward stylings of his grey side, he was
significantly more likely to wear appropriate amounts of clothing in
the proper size. There were noted fluctuations with this until the Hulk
disappeared for several weeks. Upon the client's return, during the
invasion of New York that has been dubbed "World War Hulk," it favored
armor and tribal style dressings.

Skaar: Savage TalesSep 4, 08
As posted in Marvel News: On September 24, SKAAR: SON OF HULK PRESENTS – SAVAGE WORLD OF SAKAAR
#1 will delve into the back stories of several of the regular series'
supporting cast members, courtesy of writer Greg Pak with artwork by
Timothy Green II, Gabriel Hardman, Carlo Pagulayan and the legendary
Tim Truman.
According to Pak, the special one-shot fits seamlessly into Skaar's
ongoing series, picking up where the previous issue left off.
"There's a main story that follows the Son of Hulk, Princess Omaka, and
the other refugees as they make their way towards Prophet Rock, where
the mysterious stranger known as Old Sam says he'll help Skaar achieve
his true potential for massive power," Pak explains.
"Of course, this comes after Skaar has already smashed the barbarian
leader Axeman Bone, survived the fire of the dragons of Fillia, and
nearly dismembered the refugees' Hero Protector, Princess Omaka. Which
begs the question—just what the heck are these fools thinking?
"Then there are several other stories woven throughout
the book that reveal previously untold tales that shed new light on our
principal characters as they all struggle with just how smart it is to
be seeking so much additional power for an insanely savage manchild
like Skaar."
As Pak has hinted in the past, some of those characters have a few
surprising ties to players we've seen before in the pages of "Planet
Hulk," and he promises that at least one of those connections will
reveal itself in this one-shot.
"Absodarnlutely," Pak confirms. "In particular, look for one of Skaar's
closest relatives to appear in a surprise story from the past of
Princess Omaka."

SDCC '08: Hulk VS Wolverine Panel ReportJul 28, 08
As posted in Marvel News: At Comic-Con International this past weekend, Marvel held the world
premiere of its latest animated feature, "Hulk VS Wolverine." The
movie, one-half of the "Hulk VS" DVD out next January—the other half,
"Hulk VS Thor," was not shown at the panel—delivered the goods,
beginning with a brutal confrontation between Wolverine and the Hulk.
From there the film began to focus largely on Logan and his mysterious
past. Flashbacks retold his origins at Weapon X, adapting portions of
Barry Windsor-Smith's original "Weapon X" story, while in the present
day the Canucklehead found himself and the good Dr. Banner captured by
some of the program's other agents, Omega Red, Sabretooth, Lady
Deathstrike, and a very talkative Deadpool.
In attendance were the film's co-writer and supervising producer, Craig
Kyle; producer and supervising director Frank Paur; co-writer Chris
Yost; and Fred Tatasciore, the man responsible for bringing the Hulk's
distinctive personality to life on the screen.
Kyle explained that the DVD format "allows us to get away with a lot.
This is the place we love to be because they don't watch us too
closely," going on to say that most people expect animated films
released in theaters to be much more kid-friendly than the movies they
want to produce.
