drive-by readings: Skaar Son of Hulk #12

Skaar Son of Hulk #12 (Marvel) "Skaar: Son of Hulk" Greg Pak Ron Lim Greg Adams Elizabeth Breitweiser Jeremy Eliopoulos Ed McGuinness (cover)

booted out of his own book, i barely kept up where the hell the real green Hulk was. there was a Red Hulk (Rulk) running around and they fought a couple of times. then there was Skaar, his child with Caiera, now artificially-grown to manhood and ready to take on his dad. ho-hum. well, do you expect anything less than earth-shaking fistfights? of course not. maybe this could be World War SkaRulk! where is Norman Osborn in all of this? shouldn't he be laying the law down on these two?

maybe Hulk #600-601 would renew interest in the character, as the unbeatable partnership of Hercules and Amadeus Cho trumped their old pal on the popularity scale.

what's with the rash of headchopping (okay, two) by our favorite Canucklehead this month?

on this month's Cable & Deadpool #43, he uses his trusty claws to separate Wade's head from his body.


in Wolverine #55, he uses a healing factor-negating samurai sword to finally do what we've been waiting years for him to do. of course, this being Marvel, this is all done for dramatic effect because it sets up another shocker when the "dead" come back to life.


i really have issues with this latter story arc - so someone has been behind the 'creation' of all lupine-based supercharacters, including Logan? and the resolution to this is ... decapitating Sabretooth because he killed Feral? wha-? why?

start betting on how long before they come back. viva Las Vegas!
