One Reason Why The Hulk Movies Haven't Caught On

By
Look no further than the latest Hulk storyline:

From Eisner Award-winning, Emmy Award-winning, New York Times best-selling scribe Jeph Loeb and legendary artist John Romita Jr, the man behind World War Hulk, comes one of the most important chapters in the Hulk mythos! FALL OF THE HULKS GAMMA brings Marvel's finest together to mourn a hero-but just who's dead? And why are they murdered in the opening pages of this landmark special? It's been building since World War Hulk and it's bigger than any Hulk story you've ever imagined! Who is the Red Hulk? Who is Red She-Hulk? What's the fate of Bruce Banner? The answers begin here!

I have no major qualms so far, but then...

This is the issue that changes everything-and you can't miss the shocking ending as an unholy union may spell the end of the Marvel Universe as it ignites the most incredible of wars! And if that wasn't enough, just which long thought dead characters-yeah, plural-are back? Loeb and Romita Jr rock, smash and rearrange your world in FALL OF THE HULKS GAMMA!



I hate these types of teases. We all know the Marvel Universe isn't going to end; sure the Ultimates killed so many characters you could almost hear Chris Claremont applauding, but that's because the writers (beside being rather morbid) knew that the mainstream version of those characters were going to live.

As for the return of "long though dead characters..." I just hope this is in the context of Hulk-related characters, because the storyline of any army of the dead rising up for war is already being used.

For being DC Comic's most recognizable female character, WW has been given the cinematic shaft for a long time. We've seen two incarnations of Lois Lane and countless Bat-groupies, but not one decent pitch for the Amazon in the big screen. And we're talking about a character who made armored underwear cool waaay before anyone heard of Princess Leia. So here's one humble man's suggestion for any future casting of the Wonder Woman movie. I really have three rules for casting: she has to be at least 5'10", under 45 and attractive enough to pass for a princess. Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co...

5 Actresses Who Deserve a Bigger Break

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav...
