So, after 12 years of Peter David's great work on the title, developing the sad, tragic creature who Bill Mantlo masterfully had depicted, into a more intelligent and full of great twists (even comedic ones) Hulk...I said, after all this work, Marvel is giving people the same furious rage? Different garbs, ok. I just hope all the work these great authors did on the character isn't left on limbo.
Now, let's compare an scene from Avengers #1, 1963, with another from WWH #2, this very 2007. They're making him angry, and you wouldn't like him when he's angry...ask Iron Man, the Thing or Reed Richards, they seem to know it.

I like your topic. I am a fan of showing character growth. Then Hulk would get angry and want to leave. Now, he gets angry and wants payback. What a difference a generation makes!
This crossover is just what the classic Marvel fans have been clamoring for. The heroes have been painted as elitist and manipulative. Their plan to deal with Hulk has gone horribly wrong. Hulk beats up the people that everyone thinks needs a smackdown.
Without thinking too much, it's kind of fun reading a comic that's all fight and "no talking head syndrome"
Unfortunately, the political overtones thrive in Marvel comics. I , for one, don't read comic books for political moral commentary. As usual this is a thinly veiled jab at US foreign policy. (You meddle, you pay) While US foreign policy can use a few jabs, quit doing it in my comics!!!!
