The Classic Beat Down

This trio will always get people excited but if you think about it – these three have only battled ONE TIME. One time in the entire history of the Marvel history but it is one of the most famous. All because of that cover!

Fighting Naked?

In this homage of the cover to Incredible Hulk #181 it seems the artist has chosen to portray the Hulk with no sense of decorum. That’s right, the Hulk has decided to hang out with his wang out. That doesn’t seem to phase Wendigo who is just looking for a good scrap with another large

Wendigo: A Year’s Worth of Hulk Nicknames – Week 30

Hulk usually does keep his nicknames pretty original and every foe gets a unique nickname that reflects some physical feature.  How insulting then is it when Wendigo gets such a generalized nickname? Wendigo is “Monster”

Wendigo: A Year’s Worth of Hulk 1st Appearances – Week 40

This year we will be delving deep into Hulk history to re-discover all the first appearances that the Hulk issues have given us over the years!  With 1st appearances being such a hot trend these days it only makes sense to highlight some of the best Hulk issues to invest in this year!  This week:

Most Homaged Cover?

I am looking into seeing how many times the famous #181 cover has been done in homage.  I think the covers has to be in the double digits easily and, much like the one above, seems to get better and better each time.

Pulls from the Short Box 1.24.17

What is the point of comics if you don’t read them?  Don’t be one of those CGC slabbing comic book “collectors”!  Make sure to read them over and over again!  Here is a list of what I’ve been reading from my collection: The Green Goblin (1996) W: DeFalco / A: Kobasic, Ramos Issue I’m Reading – #5 Total Issues in

Chris Stevens Old Man Logan Variant

So, I mentioned about the current Old Man Logan storyline in the last update about what I’m reading comic-wise.  Well, one of the reasons I even bothered picking up the latest issue was because I caught a peek at the Chris Stevens variant (above).  This was not an easy issue to find either – three

Something Special for a Monday

A lot the best reasons for keeping this blog going is the friends that I have been able to “meet” over the years.  Hulk fanatics like myself who not only like to collect but converse with like-minded fellows who share an affinity for the green goliath.  All stemming from the people who come here to

World War Wendigo (2014) – The Review

I never read the X-Men.  I’m just not interested in them – not sure there is a way I can explain my dislike for the group – I have tried to get into reading the exploits of the mutants before but to no avail.  I did see that The Amazing X-Men was set to do

Hulk Room Saturday!

I was lucky enough to get one – ONE – detolf before IKEA took them out of their inventory – and then put them back on at a slightly higher price.  I was given this as a present for my birthday from my sister.  Still one of the best gifts ever!  I figured I would

Bowen Designs Wendigo Statue (2011)

I have to tell you – I was dead set against picking this up – not because I don’t like the character or was disappointed in the way it came out but more because of the sheer size of this mother!  True to the character, this massive statue is bigger than any of the Hulk

The Mighty World of Marvel #197 (1972)

Speaking of Wolverine… overseas they released what they called the Mighty World of Marvel – and what that was were black and white reprints.  I have not been able to track down #198 – the reprint of Wolvie’s first (really second) appearance.  I did get this one though – #197, Wolverine’s cameo (first real appearance). 

Trimpe Signed Poster

Herb Trimpe is far and away my favorite Hulk artist.  I bought this in Reading a while back – at the same time I bought a few rare Hulk goodies including the Maquette re-paint and the Macaluso kit.  He had a few framed posters including this classic image. But I went with this one –

Wendigo Bust (2007)

I have this theory about statues and busts that sometimes, just sometimes, a base makes a piece.  This is one of those statues.  Don’t get me wrong – the sculpt on this bad boy is outstanding – but the sculptor, Tim Bruckner, really hit it home with the base!  My word – Wendigo is sitting
