Sorry for derailing the thread, but I have to know, why does everyone here hate Michael Turner?
He's an overrated artist who has a horrible idea about what human anatomy is and who hasn't drawn an actual comic book issue for years. He's basically lived off of doing variant covers.

To be fair his men tend to much better than his women, who have no internal organs, by and large. This drawing is one of his less atrocious, because Hulk is gigantic in the foreground (and doesn't need to look like normal human anatomy so Turner's mistakes can pass for skill) and we can't see the terrible anatomy mistakes in detail since all the women in the back are much too small.
I don't think it's so much what he would have done, but what his position is in the "war". If he would have sent him into space, he's on the hulk's hit list and therefore the x-men will fight him, if it's the other way around they might go neutral again, or actually fight the other members.
I'm talking about when Blob posed as a supermodel and almost destroyed the Ultimate X-men, because Beast thought he met a supermodel on the internet that was into blue mutant super geniuses. I think it was the world tour arc. But Hulk wasn't there, so I won't bring it up anymore.
That's either the most awful thing ever in an X-book... or the greatest.
It was the greatest mostly because it lead to Jean trapping a depowered Magneto inside a teke bubble with Beast which is on my favorite Beast moments ever.
This cover seems a little misleading; why's She-Hulk apparently fighting him? And Spidey risks being called a hypocrite if this cover bears any relevance to his stance regarding the issue of Hulk's return: he's in the black suit and going all psycho-vigilante because someone shot and may or may not have killed his aunt, Hulk is going bananas because a bunch of people DID kill his wife and unborn child.

Level of collateral damage. Spidey goes crazy and we're talking a couple of people dieing before he gets taken down. Hulk goes crazy and we're talking about millions of Geography textbooks becoming out of date. We're talking about someone pissed enough to literally punch Iron man into the ground so hard as to make a trench connecting the Atlantic ocean to the Pacific. The Hulk's not exactly going to just give them a wedgie and say "We're even."

True, but still, Spidey opposing Hulk makes him a hypocrite, relatively speaking they're on exactly the same warpath. Hulk's just bigger, stronger, angrier and short a couple loved ones. Maybe seeing Hulk do this is what snaps Spidey out of his revenge trip.
There's a pretty long preview of WWH #1 on Newsarama. It also includes a new, updated checklist for the event. Of note is that WWH: Young Avengers was axed, the Heroes for Hire crossover was extended to issue #15, and Punisher War Journal #12 was added to the event.
Other than to see Hulk smash the shit out of tons of heroes, what is the real purpose of some of these crossovers? What the heck could Frank do the Hulk?

Ten bucks says there's a close-up of Frank's eyes as he refers to what Hulk is doing to Iron Man as "punishment".
Do you suppose this was part of the plan all along?
I was afraid of something like Hulk's vendetta being a justification for registration. If Marvel is going to be into showing more real-life-esque results of super-battles, then there does need to be a defense network of some sort. I do not know if registration/conscription of every "super" is the answer...
I still think Civil War/the Initiative and so on could have really worked within the context of the Ultimate reality. Real-life-esque results was a big part of that from the beginning. Here, in the regular MU, it honestly feels more like a fad to me. I mean we have decades (of our time) of super-battles happening in the MU without the need for a police state, or civilians getting massacred... Sure, Spider-man web-catches some falling bricks once in a while, or whatever, but do we really need this Ultimatization of the regular MU?

Huh. Looks like the X-kids hold their own. Or don't get smooshed right away.
Mind you, after the year they've had it's not surprising they're pretty tough!
I like Beast's desktop.
PARKER, YOU'RE FIRED! <-- My comic book podcast! Satan look here!
I'm inclined to try at least the first issue because the art is nice and clean and due to Beast's involvement.
Man, what!?
LOLOL TEH YIFF!11!
Also I think the Astonishing team has more of a chance of stopping Hulk than anyone else short of Dr. Strange.

Edit: ITT World War BEAST
He did the Captain America/Iron Man one shot for Civil War, and that was easily one of the best tie-ins.
And then regenerate into MULTIPLE WOLVERINES. Because that nuke incident just wasn't enough.

I like how one of the pages is a big fight scene between the New X-men and Hulk
And then at the bottom is Beast giving Elixer a piggyback ride
Hilarious
No reason not to have some fun while you're fighting for your life.
