She did not attend a 97th birthday celebration held for her late husband at the library on Feb. 6.

I don't know about you guys, but I think at the point you've died, you've run out of birthdays.

Completely un-Reaganish and also on USA Today:

The reliably green Incredible Hulk gets pulled into a crimson tide for '#2' (http://www.usatoday.com/life/books/news/2008-02-17-incredible-hulk_N.htm)

<INSERT JOKE>   ;D

Shit...is Marvel living on one publicity stunt to next? How about trying so good writing for a change instead of killing/Changing iconic characters.

Hillary needs to sink her teeth in Nancy's neck so she can assume the title; Queen of Blades.

It has been foretold.

Or Hillary can just go Red Hulk on Obama.

At the last debate it looked like she was going to.  Take a Pamprin already.

The latest: Obama's a plagiarist!  That one nearly killed me.  A Clinton should stick around the political scene forever if for no other reason than for coming up with priceless, hilarious stuff like this and James Carville from time to time.

Nancy probably thinks a stem-cell infusion into the corpse of Ronaldus Maximus would probably resurrect him to his "Knute Rockney: All American" vintage.

BTW: I don't read Marvel, but I'm thinking Red Hulk is not the one true Hulk.  The article's wrong, anyway...he was gray back in the eighties, not just in the debut.  Normal people shouldn't write articles about nerd news.

I only read Marvel for the X-Comics.

Obama plagiarizing is a big deal, I think. It just pushes the comparison between him and George W. Bush further.

I tend to believe that keeping a super hero in the spotlight for an extended period of time is doomed to failure, no matter what you do.

I mean, some of these guys have been going for more than 50 years.  It doesn't take too long before you're retreading old ground for the umpteenth time or changing things drastically to keep readers buying the books every month.  As an outsider who's never really followed comics that closely, reading a history for some of these iconic characters like Iron Man, Batman, or the Hulk is fucking ridiculous.  They've done everygoddamnthing imaginable.

Until I got to that last sentence, I-- for whatever reason-- thought your post was related to politics.

There was green hulk, Gray Hulk (mr fixit), Then wasn't there Perpetual Green Hulk (never turning back to banner)?, and they tossed him into a worm hole and he became green scar gladiator hulk. 

Now I'm guessing this is a different story line and this red hulk is probably banner.

Nah, it's someone else.

I love how Cyclops in the latest x-books is being written. Much more of a badass. :D

The latest Hulk decided to take Anger Management and now lives in a Chicago suburb with his wife and 2.3 kids.  Tune in next week when the Incredible Hulk tries to balanace his checkbook!

Its still shitty if its someone else.  Especially since it looks like the hulk with the same hair cut and all.

Hulks other than Bruce and She Hulk fail.

A new evil hulk should have been flesh colored with patches of bone ala doomsday or patches of green or both and a different hair cut.
