Hulk News You Need - 9/4/15

MARVEL REVEALS THAT AMADEUS CHO WILL BE THE NEW HULK, WHICH WE ALL TOTALLY KNEW ALREADY, THANKS



Surprising exactly zero people, Marvel told Entertainment Weekly today that the new Hulk - star of the title Totally Awesome Hulk - will be Amadeus Cho.

There were only a few, tiny, subtle hints that this was the case. Cho is the creation of Totally Awesome Hulk writer Greg Pak; he was a prominent character in Pak's Incredible Hulk, Incredible Hercules, and Amazing Fantasy; he guest starred in Savage Wolverine (written and drawn by Totally Awesome Hulk artist Frank Cho) alongside the Hulk; he's a teenager; and he's of Asian descent while Marvel hinted the new Hulk would stir the same kind of controversy as the female Thor and the African American Captain America.

I find it interesting that I find this interesting. I'm not peeved at this; I guess mainly because I know eventually Bruce will be back in the saddle again. I think I would be more worried if this were a different writer. I think Pak has earned some faith from us Hulk-nuts and I'm willing to give it a chance.


KICK-ASS UNCLE TRANSFORMS NEPHEW INTO HULK FOR CONVENTION


New Hampshire optician Eric Levine made his nephew Elijah's wheelchair into a Hulk costume for last month's TerrifiCon in Ucasville, Connecticut. He wanted his nephew's costume to have "butt-kicking action," so using foam, PVC tubing, and LED lights; Levine constructed a costume that included two Hulk legs 11-year-old Elijah could move with levers and the words "HULK" and "SMASH" lit up on each leg. 

Levine plans to donate the costume to another local child who uses a wheelchair. He hopes to design the costume that was originally planned for this year's con for next year: an AT-AT walker.


MARVEL DOESN'T WANT YOU LAUGHING AT THE GAG REEL WHEN YOU GET THE BLU-RAY, SO THEY RELEASED IT ALREADY

To promote the October 2nd DVD/Blu-ray release of Avengers: Age of Ultron (don't worry, mine's already pre-ordered), Marvel Studios released a two-minute gag reel which - if past Marvel gag reel previews are any indication - is the entire gag reel, thereby leaving you nothing to laugh at once you buy the thing they want you to buy. The bloopers include Bruce Banner having trouble with hammers and long words.
