Cool by toadkillerdog	Jun 9th, 2008 07:56:45 AM
Nice art
Skaar looks GREAT! by Pogue Mahone	Jun 9th, 2008 08:04:34 AM
I dug Planet Hulk almost more than any comic in recent memory. A GREAT spin on an often misinterpreted character! I like the whole whole 'Barbarian' vibe! Can't wait for the sequel! Thanks for the sneak peek!
I remember by toadkillerdog	Jun 9th, 2008 08:04:39 AM
But that was back in the early 90's

Damn You Michael Bay
Oddly, my submission for the Sonja fight went much the same. {g} by JasonPratt	Jun 9th, 2008 08:10:49 AM
But more drama at the end. (Starfire shows up to zorch Sonja after she refuses to accept that Nightwing won.)
Skaar does look great, but... by DuncanHines	Jun 9th, 2008 08:20:34 AM
I Like Julie Bell's work, normally haven't seen anything from her in YEARS... and that cover is just plain ugly. Shame...
And as for Planet Hulk... by DuncanHines	Jun 9th, 2008 08:21:46 AM
That should be Hulk 5 (in the movies)
So he noticed by Diagnostic	Jun 9th, 2008 08:45:41 AM
she is a true red head?
i'm glad everyone knows by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Jun 9th, 2008 09:09:08 AM
Nightwing is the shit.
Skaar actually looks pretty cool by kungfuhustler84	Jun 9th, 2008 09:16:23 AM
but I wonder how long it will last. superhero offspring usually never get a very warm welcome so the duration of their own series is always pretty limited. The art does look really great though
Nice, Snakes vs. Nick by BizarroJerry	Jun 9th, 2008 09:18:25 AM
As the writer of the Snake-Eyes vs. Jonah Hex fight, I was quite prepared for Fury to somehow beat him. I like seeing the old veterans kick some younger guy's ass. But Snake-Eyes hasn't really faced a real martial arts specific character yet in this tourney, has he? And it's nice to see everyone seems to have liked Snakes taking Hex's hat! That was a last minute addition. I would think Nightwing may end up the victor, though. Interesting that they've both got their redheaded ladies, but then again, there's a lot of prominent comic book redheads. I assume that's because red looked better in the simpler color palettes when these comics started. Geeky spur of the moment list of major comic redheads: Batgirl, Scarlett, Black Widow, Red Sonja, Jean Grey, Mary Jane Watson, and I've bored myself...
Son of Hulk need keys to car! by Iowa Snot Client	Jun 9th, 2008 09:19:18 AM
Son of Hulk smash Hulk if Hulk not give him keys to car!
I agree with DuncanHines by unuseddraft	Jun 9th, 2008 09:30:42 AM
Planet Hulk would be pretty sweet, but only if he's allowed to come back to earth and kick the shit outta everyone.
Boo hiss! Kidding. by V'Shael	Jun 9th, 2008 09:48:42 AM
I still think Nick should have won, but I can't fault the skill of the writer.
Planet Hulk was cool. by JonQuixote	Jun 9th, 2008 09:53:36 AM
Old-school awesome. And now that I made a comment, I'm going to shill. It's HULK WEEK over at the Bad Genious, including the finale to my Mighty Marvel Marathon. www.talkcomicbooks.com

your my role model!
oh and as for the championship.. by listo65	Jun 9th, 2008 11:40:26 AM
50 LARGE ON NIGHTWING!!!!!!
skaar rules! by SHEESH1	Jun 9th, 2008 11:40:48 AM
i can't wait to read the son of the hulk books!
I wonder if... by listo65	Jun 9th, 2008 11:45:08 AM
I wonder if, in the history of the AINT IT COOL NEWS WEBSITE, anyone ever posted a very pointless and unnecessarily long statement about nothing at all.
"Hulk cannot know what Son of Hulk is going through!" by rock-me Amodeo	Jun 9th, 2008 12:19:35 PM
"Because Hulk was never a teenager!" which is true...
Guilty pleasure by Don Lockwood	Jun 9th, 2008 12:19:52 PM
I dunno if you'd count it, although he HAS been in comic books, he's not originally a comic book character. Flash Gordon, anyone?
I disagree, Duncan. by SleazyG.	Jun 9th, 2008 12:33:22 PM
I don't recognize Julie Bell's name, so maybe you don't feel this matches up to past works you're familiar with. I think her cover looks pretty sharp, tho: all painted and Frazetta-like. I'd take it over Garney's picture of a teenager with a stick any day.
Gotta side with SleazyG by rock-me Amodeo	Jun 9th, 2008 01:06:08 PM
I love the Bell cover. Maybe I don't get art, but I think it's got that Vallejo-esque feel (wonder why, duh) that seems to sell a lot of calenders. Plus, in a completely non-PC moment, Julie herself is a cutie.
Your flawed battle thingy by fiester	Jun 9th, 2008 02:17:26 PM
Seems to be leaning towards having Bat-Lite win it all--which is asinine since you had Batman and Cap go out early: both are widely considered to be the finest hand-to-hand combatants in their respective fictional worlds.
I Don't Know Rock by optimous_douche	Jun 9th, 2008 02:37:42 PM
Bruce Banner was a teenager and isn't the Hulk just a manifestation of his ID? This is probably taking the discussion to a level it should never go, but fuck it we're here.
X men 3 is my guilty pleasure by hallmitchell	Jun 9th, 2008 03:15:12 PM
It rocked. Great action. Even just seeing the Sentinels head was awesome for me. Beast was fantastic. I love X men 3. It's the only X men film I own.
Flawed battle thingy: I have two numbers for you by rock-me Amodeo	Jun 9th, 2008 03:43:05 PM
18 and 1. Need I say more?
Optimous - well, here's the thing by rock-me Amodeo	Jun 9th, 2008 03:44:51 PM
See, the Hulk...well, he never...I mean, Bruce Banner didn't have much of a child hood, so he didn't quite... Ah, ya got me. Rats.
Your flawed feister thingy... by Ambush Bug	Jun 9th, 2008 03:49:52 PM
Sorry, guys but you Monday morning quarterbacks don't get much by way of attention or sympathy from me. This tournament has been up to you all. All submissions were considered and read. Anyone in the tournament had a chance to win if the fights were written well enough. If you aren't happy with the way things panned out, sounds like someone should have written up his own fight...
Teen Hulk by Jonas Grumpy	Jun 9th, 2008 04:42:25 PM
Crazy Magazine, anyone? Anyone? Early '80s? Am I the oldest one here?
Sleazy by DuncanHines	Jun 9th, 2008 05:06:22 PM
I'm just not feeling that piece by her. She's better at pretty-looking and shiny characters. You can probably google image her old Marvel Masterpieces cards and see what I mean.
Son of Hulk art looks good, but... by MisterE	Jun 9th, 2008 09:58:08 PM
...it needs an inker.
Guilty Pleasures... by SMARTASS8	Jun 9th, 2008 10:14:08 PM
The Shadow Swamp Thing Swamp Thing Returns Superman 3 Batman Returns Fantastic Four(2005) Punisher(2004) Howard The Duck
Cap may have been the best fighter by V'Shael	Jun 9th, 2008 10:59:12 PM
but Nick has guile on his side. What was it Marvel called him last month? The most dangerous man in the Marvel Universe?
