Sociopathic monster that pretends to be a friend to children has gotta be one of my favorite horror archetypes.

🔥Immortal Hulk

While I really enjoyed the overall arc of the story, the thing that actually drew me into the run was the tone and tenor of the first volume and the first issue in particular- the idea of The Hulk as a terrifyingly intelligent, sadistic, backroads urban-legend avenging angel, Hulk as an EC comics ironic-punishment monster. They pivoted away from this angle in the back half of the plot, as was probably inevitable, but I nonetheless mourn its passing

Comrade Namor

He teams up with Bruce Banner and most of his alters on an explicit mission to destroy capitalism, starting off by bankrupting the too big to fail Roxxon Corporation (whose CEO is a literal minotaur FYI, the shit kind.) 'Humans' as referred to there is about the destructiveness and unsustainability of how we treat the planet and each other. It's not a genetically loaded term here. Also, he just cooked Bruce a clam chowder. It's nice to look after our friends.

This is an in universe advert from the 90s where he declares war on any company that doesn't respect the planet, AKA all of them. Interestingly he uses inverted Marxist language to threaten from a position of strength - 'the oceans themselves as capital' is so huge a concept. No doubt he was pushing the limits of what critique capitalism can subsume into itself.

It's also strategically fascinating, IMO. Declaring war on countries is a historical Namor tactic with no winners. Corporations have no sovereignty to protect, no allies to call on, and you can't lobby for tariffs on Atlantis.

Except they may as well, because as ever, Marvel presents a liberal fantasy of human improvement and progressiveness. Corporations do what they do with the aid and permission of states, and neoliberalism can't exist without the free market. Marvel itself is profit-first and will never take any action that hinders that (intentionally) - but they will present the 'illusion of change' especially if the message itself is profitable to publish. I'm not saying anything new here, of course, but I think it'd be intellectually dishonest to not point out that the desired and eternal status quo isn't just restricted to the pages.

BEE TEE DUBS, if you haven't read Immortal Hulk, it's amazing. Al Ewing is a master and really pushes the limits of what comics can do, plus the Hulk says trans rights and fuck capitalism!

so here’s the thing

[turtlesystem]

I know exactly how Bruce Banner feels when it comes to his father . that weird feeling where you just look at the guy who was your whole world yet simultaneously never truly there yet also an entity to be feared, and as you get older that fear and anger and self-blame over feeling like you caused all the consequences of his actions and also the way other ppl glaze him in the industry he’s in and only you and your mother know what he’s like just slowly becomes “holy hell what mushrooms was that guy on what the actual flying fuck” and you’re not even scared or feeling hurt or betrayed by him anymore and it’s more just genuine utter confusion and the denial that he is a real person because everything is just so hard to explain and it goes beyond the complexities of human behavior because this guy just doesn’t operate on any internal logic whatsoever and it’s not like a feeling of disrespect or disappointment, it’s just like looking at a completely alien specimen or virus on a Petri dish in a dark room lit by only a singular desk lamp

A nice tribute to the work of the talented special make-up effects creator Rob Bottin (particularly on John Carpenter's The Thing).
