Ordered the minimates for a $1.xx markup on Amazon. I figure my time is worth $1 lol
Yeah this month is going to be hard to put a dcbs order together for me, a lot of stuff i'd have to have faith in to order. Bond and Klaus especially, I'll probably wait for a digital sale. DK3 noooooooooooo whyyyyyy!!!!!?

I can't even sarcastically feign surprise on this one.

Probably to try to make writers focus on who's the hulk, instead of on the brute himself, and preventing rehashes of hulk smashes, banner sobs.
Also because teen demographics. Mostly because teen demographics.
Christ, what a Totally Obnoxious name.
DeviantArt-tier cheesecake villain confirmed. Great.
it's like at the last minute they tried to roll out that "it could be anyone! no, really!" campaign and then immediately announced it's who people thought it was.

I think they would keep them separate except for crossovers. That or kill everyone in the DCU except Batman, his crew and his villains

Separate with possibly more frequent crossovers.
You don't see disney mixing donald and howard very often, after all.

It's been said before, but people here enjoy controversy more than talking about how awesome stuff is...

Oh, it doesn't change my thoughts on the potential comic. It's more that it was just a super bizarre PR angle from Marvel that kind of leaves you scratching your head.

Is talking about what would happen if Disney acquired DC really a controversy
Come on now guys
Edit: oh, are we talking about the hulk? I don't get it...
It doesn't sound all that rad.
Might even be renamed to The Totally Cancelled Hulk after a year or so. 😏

Yeah, Hulk lol
Remember when Bleeding Cool said the new Hulk would be Ultimate Reed Richards because some dude in a bar said so?
Ehhhhhh would i rather talk about a book or wait till it comes out and then read it? Reading is never the answer.

Yes, exactly. I'm still excited about the book but the long tease for the obvious choice was strange to say the least

Good point. Carry on.
That honor is going to Starbrand's book. I can see Cho Hulk going on for...12 issues?
if that happens it's not gonna be just DC, but Warner as a whole
echoshifting
Banned
Don't say that! That book looks rad
Well, yeah.
I could see Starbrand lasting longer because it has the hijinks angle going for it. The characters aren't established though so it could go either way.
Hulk though is just whatever. I don't think teens care. I like Cho, but I'm not convinced he'll make teens care any more than they already do.

i thinkit's a testament to how great the book will be that everyone instantly knew it would be cho
GOD I CANT WAITTTTT

I think Kamala and Miles have that demo on lock anyways, I could see why Cho Hulk could work, it's a flip from the Banner Hulk, he's not angry or dreads the power but enjoys it and wants to help.

I don't think Chulk is destined to appeal to teens but i don't think it's meant to. he's a fan favorite charac from 10 years ago lmao

Batman #44 preview (CBR)
Now, some of you are probably going to look at that and go "OMG YES JOCK ART JOCK AND SNYDER TOGETHER AGAIN CAN'T WAIT!!!111one!!" and that's fine.
Me, I look at that and I see a problem that reinforces something I said earlier was in my opinion part of the problem with modern Batman:
In my opinion, of course. Okay, rant over.

Me, I look at that and I see a problem that reinforces something I said earlier was in my opinion part of the problem with modern Batman:
Batman is calling Gordon out to a crime scene to investigate a dead body. BATMAN is calling GORDON out to a crime scene. Not the other way around like it should be, like Batman is the special investigator who only gets called upon when the Gotham PD are in over their heads or stumped and can't see the connections and so they shine that symbol in the sky. No, Batman is calling Gordon out like some patrolman who came upon this body on his route, and is calling his boss in to oversee, only Gordon's not his boss so it's more like a courtesy call? I mean, it's not like Gordon is contributing anything worthwhile; in fact it's safe to assume from dialogue that Batman was on top of this dead body investigation already, and he's only calling Gordon as a courtesy. He's letting the police in on HIS investigation. The police can't handle a dead body in the middle of a nowhere part of Gotham without him. And that's all backwards.
In my opinion, of course. Okay, rant over.
I'm really not trying to piss in Cheerios, but we all knew it was Cho because something involving him in a Secret Wars book and a rumor after the fact.
Yeah, that's the best part of it. I find it's the drama that keeps me invested in things in the long haul though, you know? Like, those first few adventures in Hawkeye were great, but if it was just twenty issues of that I don't think it would've resonated in quite the same way. Pak will have to come up with some interesting challenges for Cho.

I played Dead Space 3 very recently. It wasn't as good as the first two, but it was still good. The microtransaction and universal ammo were terrible, but otherwise it was fine. Would probably wait for a sale or bundle though.
Mad Max is really good, you guys.

So wait
Why is Banner not Hulk? Or is he Hulk and they're just not writing about him anymore because it's a been there done that? Why is Amadeus Cho Hulk? That last one's a stupid question because it'll probably be answered in the book.
Basically why is there a new Hulk?
