    Looks cool. but the writing has given me NO reason to care about any of those people.

    The only ones whose IDs we know are Jubes, Chamber, Beak and Angel, and no one's really ever cared about Beak and Angel anyways. If more of them turn out to be established characters then that'll neatly slide in all the character development we'll need.

    I liked the use of Omega Red tentacles, btw, especially given he almost killed Jubes not so long ago.

    Yay more Initiative. Yay more Order.

    Indeed, considering that for a long time a big complaint was that there were no 'new' heroes that were good, the fact that I have two series I like now with pretty much entirely new characters is awesome. (And the writing in The Order is hilarious)

    Talking Gotham Underground with Frank Tieri.

    Just by reading the cameo list, I can see why they needed to add an issue. Looks to be a 'great slightly larger than mini series.'

    But hey, it's Frank Tieri.

    Has Frank Tieri ever written anything good? I'm still at a loss as to why DC signed an exclusive with him.

    yeah, but the second biggest line at WizardWorld Philadelphia was for Michael Turner, so praise doesn't dictate talent

    Either that or the entire comic book loving of Philadelphia are retarded. But lets face it, Michael Turner is still somehow a big name, I don't see it...but he is.

    Hey, wait a minute. Frank Tieri wrote Underworld for Marvel, which was great. He also did Civil War: War Crimes, and he's doing WWH: Gamma Corps right now.

    When he dies, I hope they write "Worst Affirmative Action Hire, EVER" on his grave. His corpse should be trolled.

    Man, I just...

    What's good about Gamma Corps?

    I mean, I like pretty much all of WWH except for Frontline and Gamma Corps. GC just isn't working for me, at all.

    To be fair, it doesn't make me actually angry like Frontline does.

    I dunno, I guess I like watching these anti-Hulk dudes getting all pumped up and confident in their ability to take the Hulk out. I like that they have reasons for hating the Hulk that are as inadequate as their ability to beat the Hulk. I like that Ryker has some backstory and that he has an almost J. Jonah Jameson type fixation with Hulk. Mostly, though, I'm liking the build up to those guys getting smashed to hell by Hulk.

    As an aside, it's pretty fucking funny that these five clowns can get Hulk down but the combined efforts of the fucking X-MEN couldn't.

    Gamma Corp is ok I guess, but it's so pointless. Everyone in it other than Hulk was made up just for this comic, and we know they're not going to beat Hulk, and it'll really have no effect on WWH. At least the X-Men book was using characters we care something about. Hulk could kill every member of Gamma Corp and I'd figure that was a decent ending.

    It's pretty much the only way it can end, really. Every one of the Gamma Corps is defined by his or her hate for Hulk, but Hulk is way too strong to beat, and I can't see a reason for any of them to live on.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see Gamma Corps go on to be continual thorns in the Hulk's green side for some time to come. I don't think the Hulk (the way he is written currently) would kill a bunch of losers who hate him because of terrible things he did in the past (or did he? I don't even know anymore).

    The serums that made them should kill them like it killed the Marines who attacked the Blue Area in Silent War.

    I predict he'll beat them to within an inch of their lives but not kill them. Ryker might get killed though, but Hulk won't do it intentionally.

    Guys, Marvel Previews says that Exiles is ending with #100. However, apparently there's going to be a "New Exiles".

    Also, it appears that Finch is doing all the covers for the Messiah Complex issues.

    I would have really liked to go back and collect Exiles (my OCD won't allow me to jump on halfway through when it's possible to go back to the beginning), but there are too many trades and the smaller floppy trades are actually a fair bit more expensive for me than the hardcovers (shipping costs are quite a bit less).

    It's a shame it never rated the Supersized Hardcover treatment, I would have picked those up without a doubt.

    Maybe I can start off with New Exiles instead...
