That guy seemed to be returned to normal--his mind was brought
back from the dead and he was reunited with his family. Of course,
he was still wearing Doom armor, and we are never shown him taking
off..knowing how Doom is with booby traps...KABOOOOM!!! ;-)

We haven't seen the dear Doc since Infinity War--could be the Magus
banished him to the future? Naaaah...too easy!

Didn't they say that their source was the New York Post?  That makes
it easier for me to believe that it isn't true (gawd, please let it
not be true!)

I'm hoping that somewhere along the lines of communication someone
shortened "four Superman titles" to "four Supermans", and a reporter
jumped to the wrong conclusion....

Reviews:  Hulk and X-Factor



The Incredible Hulk
-------------------

I'm really not sure what direction this book is going in.  FINALLY FINALLY,
the melding of the Banner's personalities has been touched upon.  TWO YEARS
AGO, Doc Samson created the new green Hulk, and it has been ignored ever
since.  Maybe we'll get something interesting here, at last.  (yeah, like
getting rid of the green Hulk and bringing back the Grey :) !)  I've been
unsure of the direction of the Hulk ever since he became green.  I'm not sure
if PAD knows where this book is going, either.

As for this issue, it seemed like another filler issue to bridge into a new
storyline.  The battle between the Juggernaut and the Hulk was very trite and
unexciting.  I found myself skimming through it.  The Red Skull appearing at
the end was even more unbelievable.  Maybe we'll get some exciting Avengers
action in the upcoming issues.

PAD can do much better than this.  My favorite recent issues were the 'Green
Hulk goes to Vegas' storyline.  That was some really good stuff.  Hopefully
this book will get straightened out a little.

The artwork was especially bad.  I gave Jan Duursema a chance, but I'm sorry,
this just DOES NOT do it for me.  And it seems that Mark Farmer doesn't know
what to do with the pencils, either.  He usually shines, but he just doesn't
work well with Jan.

-----------

I'm really glad I can end this review on a good note.  This was a great
effort, all around.  PAD shines on this issue.  He re-introduces the
characters in a refreshing and interesting manner.  Perfect entry point for
new readers, like myself.  The scripting was as good as PAD gets.  I'm really
excited about reading this title.  Good things are going to happen here.  This
was one of the most entertaining monthly title reads for me in quite a while.

The artwork was another solid and clean job by new artist Joe Quesada.  You've
seen his great stuff in The Ray and Batman: Sword of Azrael, and this is just
as good.  Man, I can't wait for some action sequences.  This team of PAD and
Quesada is going to be something special.

No, the "eternal waking nightmare" is *Dream's* perogative to do, as at the

Just some quick background. Enchanter was originally an Eclipse book
that Dringenberg did the artwork for. It was supposed to go for 8 issues,
but died around #3. (Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm fuzzy on the details.)
It's now being continued by Parody Press (under the Express Press name)
and the first issue is due out sometime this month. (It comes complete
with a Mike Mignola cover!)

I'm sorry to hear that Dringenberg won't be back at DC/Vertigo. I really
liked his stuff. I agree with LJC in that my favorite art for Sandman
was much of his work.

"Protectors"...a comic book without a future.  Yep, that pretty much describes
how I feel about it.  I picked up the first two issues, and found that it
gave me nothing that Marvel and DC didn't, or hadn't in the past.  If
anything, it gave me less.

The color art is not cool.  The color art is inferior (or was, on the first
couple issues).  It is barely superior to Millunnium's Justice Machine or
Image's Youngblood.

I would alter the opinion above to say that I think GRENDEL: WAR CHILD is
not the best of the Grendel books, but it's interesting enough to read.  The
other reason is this: *every* Grendel storyline is different than the other;
Wagner is one of the few people in the comix industry who actually performs
R&D on what can be done with a plotline.  This is one of the *very* few
books I support because I would like the creator to continue producing new
mini-series -- even if this one isn't up to previous watermarks.  

(And those are pretty high watermarks, buckaroo.)

Hehe.  Ooops...you must have caught us in a bad CENTURY...
He does have a good point, though.  How many of our posts are genuinely
constructive, rather than destructive?  I mean, we know we ALL have 
different tastes, but why are some people compelled to flame away whenever
Image is mentioned.  For my part, I try to "discover" good, struggling
comics, like Quasar, New Warriors, Cage, and Silver Sable.  Can't we all
just get along?
(Of course, coming from the guy who called for open season on a few 
comic professionals, this will probaly be taken with a grain of salt.  
I ascribe it to that recently discovered yearly chemical imbalance men 
go through (their version of PMS).  Hey, it beats the Twinkie defense...)
