Mr. Anonymous had it right way back when I reported his spoilers about who the Red Hulk was. After they dragged it out and even had a scene or two meant to throw you off from thinking it was him, they actually stuck to it. That, in itself, is a bit shocking.

Not That It Wasn't Already Obvious
Recolored SMASH image just to demonstrate how "original" the character is.

Leave It To Liefeld...
After being engaged in a rather snarky discussion about how his SMASH seems to be a blatant rip-off of Marvel's Incredible Hulk, Mr. Liefeld fires the following salvo:Why don't you jam yourself with your own sausage friend. Get over it. Move along. It's comics, not rape. Not incest. Not a Panzi scheme.
If this gets you so upset than you are a funny guy with no life. Don't buy it or better yet make fun of it tomorrow in your comics store with all your buddies.
Next in the LitG swipe files: Madoff being copied by Liefeld.

Edward Norton: My Problems Were With Marvel
Less than 30 minutes ago, Edward Norton was on The Opie & Anthony Show to publicize his next film, Pride & Glory.
On the prep sheet for the interview, it said "his version of Incredible Hulk" was coming out, meaning the update versus the Ang Lee version. Host Greg "Opie" Hughes thought "his version" indicated that the movie had been restored to the cut that Norton had fought for.
When asked about his version coming out, Norton responded with, "it is?" He followed that up with, "when does it come out?"
The star clarified that the version coming out still isn't his version and that he had no problems with the director, Louis Leterrier, but with Marvel Studios. It seemed for a moment that he would elaborate further on the disagreement, but he apparently caught himself before airing too much dirty laundry.
Later in the conversation, he detailed how studios are better off not having him conduct publicity for movies that he's not thrilled with. Norton indicated he wouldn't lie to promote a film and a non-appearance is better than him obviously dodging certain questions with responses like, "how about those (NY) Jets?"
For a company that plans on making an Avengers movie that they likely want Ed Norton to reprise his role as the Hulk for, Marvel certainly doesn't seem to be actively trying to keep that bridge from burning. Replacing Bruce Banner is NOT the same as replacing Jim Rhodes (which isn't an insignificant change in its own right).
Guess we'll have to wait and see where this relationship goes.

Covers Are Getting Pretty Bad...
Man, covers are getting to be more and more unrelated to anything that happens in the books they're on:
The cover is so detached from anything happening in the book that I almost didn't notice how horrendous the solicit was. ALMOST.HULK #8 Written by JEPH LOEB Penciled by ART ADAMS & FRANK CHO 50/50 Covers by Art Adams & FRANK CHO Variant Cover by SAL BUSCEMA Looking to make a bombastically brilliant book? Here's what ya do: Have JEPH LOEB whip up two heaping helpings of Hulk. Get ART ADAMS to draw HULK vs. the maximum amount of WENDIGO monsters allowed on paper. Then get FRANK CHO to draw RULK whupping up on the gorgeous LADY LIBERATORS. Put both tales together, call the whole thing HULK #8. Bring to boil and serve. 32 PGS./Rated A ...$2.99
Sort of unrelated, but not worthy of a separate post:
SQUADRON SUPREME #5Dear God, Chaykin is just writing Marvel analogs into the Squadron Supreme universe now? He knows this isn't an Ultimates book, right?

Hulk Vs. Wolverine Animated Flick
Doesn't hit stores until January. I'd still lay 5-to-1 odds that it hits shelves before the end of the Damon Lindelof mini does.

Incredible Hulk: A Rage In Harlem
Just got back from a midnight showing of the Incredible Hulk. I have a few quick observations:
- The CGI Hulk wasn't horrible. I think it needed a few tweaks it didn't get that could have made it better. The face was a bit off balance, with the head being enlarged but certain parts (most notably the nose) weren't in proper proportion. I'd, also, hazard a guess that the face might have been made too symmetrical.
- The best appearances of the Hulk happened during some of the least important moments. Some of the best work could be found in a confrontation in the middle of the film, rather than during the climax.
- For me, this had the best cameos and easter eggs of any Marvel property, thus far. Dialog, images on the TV screen, names of throwaway characters and the inclusion of the TV show theme are all just a taste of the bits fans might enjoy in the flick.
- I was shocked that at least one scene prominently displayed in early trailers and commercials was completely removed from the movie. Norton wound up not having a conversation with the character that was supposedly named Dr. Samson. No idea why it was cut.
- Speaking of scenes on the cutting room floor, I kept having thoughts of Banner's trek to the lands of tundra nag at me towards the end of the film. From what I heard of that scene, I think it would have been a perfect fit.
- At least 80% of the audience stuck around past the credits in hopes of another scene like Fury in Iron Man. I guess that shouldn't be so surprising, since 12am showings bring out the die-hards, but it still seems to bode well for what Marvel Studios is doing.
- While it may not have done the job as well as Iron Man, the film did a decent job of blending in some humor.
- Oh, I found it interesting that the climax happened in Harlem. If I knew a bit more about the layout, I'd probably have been looking to see if any collateral damage was done to Clinton's office.
