Hey all and welcome to another Marvel Handbook. I‘ve been a bit busy of late but I‘ll be making up for it with a few articles coming up. Also we need still need more emails.
Hey Daron what‘s up?
Same old, same old my man. Just finished writing my movie yesterday so I’m a bit excited.
I‘m not doing bad. I‘m a bit excited about the PHILLIES!!!!!!!! I‘m sorry I‘m from Philadelphia and I‘m just happy.
Ummmm, ok? That’s a bit of old news there isn’t it?
…
That’s what I thought. Well let’s get this party started…
Rhuid comments
If you guys could reboot any series, what would it be?
This one is for a few Marvel writers. I know at least 2-3 the would like this title back Cloak and Dagger. I would love Doctor Strange back myself to
I have to agree about wanting to see some Dr. Strange…though I don’t know that he needs a reboot – possible the only Marvel character/title that doesn’t. As for reboots though…let’s just reboot the whole MU and be done with it…
Who do you guys think is Red Hulk? What prompted the introduction of another Hulk?
Red Hulk? Hmm we know who it‘s not now. It has to be someone who hates Hulk and Banner. I almost still wonder if the Abomination is really dead. I have a question that maybe the red guy is Emil Blonsky. As for how we got one. Thank Jeph Loeb.
Do you guys think we’ll see a return of Mr. Fixit?
Read Hulk # 7, Fixit showed up.
Speaking of Hulk, I know that Banner has serious MPD/DID, but do you think he will ever be “sane” again?
You mean do I think he‘ll not be Hulk? That there is a way to get rid of these split personalities? No not as long as Hulk is one of the biggest characters Marvel has.
Do you think the Hulk comic could ever survive if they permanently split Banner from Hulk?
Like no. And neither would Banner or Hulk. If you recall the last split almost killed both. They need each other.
What did you guys think about The Incredible Hulk? I loved The Hulk, but I think TIH was a little better, only if they tossed in a bit of the old TV series, but also included a bad ass version of Abomination.
I loved Incredible Hulk. Everything was there that was needed. A good Banner, A great Hulk. Betty, Thunderbolt, Abomination, The Leader, Samson. They have so much they can still do with it all set up if they want.
Amazingly enough, I too really liked The Incredible Hulk, and this coming from an avid Hulk hater. I thought the first movie was unwatchable, and by and large have no use for the character. But the new movie was pretty freakin great…
What’s up with Rick Jones being A-Bomb? I know he’s been given powers before, but don’t you think that Jones is kind of worthless now? I’d rather see Gambit in the Hulk comic over Jones now.
Heh. No Gambit! How is he Hulk connected anyway? Oh and Jones isn’t worthless. They finally brought him back after some time out of Hulk. When Rick was busy doing other stuff like being connected to Genis-Vell. I like Jones back. I’d like to know how exactly he became A-Bomb though
You know what I’d like to see? Hulk give Gambit that crazy front kick he gave the Tim Roth character in the movie. I’d buy a freakin subscription to Hulk if planted Gambit in a tree…never to be heard from again!
I’m too lazy to look…so..how many superhero films has Stan Lee appeared in? (I think he also appeared on the TV series Heroes too, right?)
We‘ll do movies for now:
The Incredible Hulk
Fantastic Four 1 and 2
Spider-Man 1,2 3
X-Men 1 and 3
Hulk
Daredevil
There’s other tv he’s been in but those are the big flicks he’s done Marvel wise.
Who do you guys think are the top 5 greatest villains ever conceived in comics… regardless of the company.
oh fun.
Marvel wise:
Dr Doom
Green Goblin: Norman of course
Magneto
Galactus
Thanos
Only DC villain I like really is Joker. Sorry not a big dc fan
Hmm top 5 villain huh? Let’s see:
1. Joker (hands down)
2. Thanos
3. Captain Cold (not the most powerful, but one of the coolest) ;)
4. Dr. Doom
5. The Mist (She totally rocked Starman’s world)
If you could whip up your own villain (or use one from another company) for a major run in a popular title, what sort of villain (or who) would you use, and what title?
Heh. Well it‘s obvious which Marvel villain is the best for his own title. DOOM!!!!! Marvel will give us something with him to
DOCTOR DOOM AND THE MASTERS OF EVIL # 1
The Story: ALL NEW TALES!!! You’ve gotta ask yourself: If Doctor Doom’s the most evil guy ever, how much more evil’s it gonna
get when he puts a whole TEAM of VILLAINS to work? It’s the series where the bad guys get their say, and the Sinister
Six are saying they aren’t sinister enough! So, what’s the solution? How about Kraven stealing a vibranium staff from the
Louvre? Sweet! And how about Electro designs a new suit to better channel his powers? Great idea! And how about ramping up Mysterio’s powers by breaking into Stark Industries to steal a miniaturized super-component, battling both Iron Man and Dr. Strange in the process?
Okay…that’s all the questions I have this week. Later!
Catch you later
