I really have no thoughts on Hulk this month but here are a few random ones on Fantastic Four #9.
Considering what you had said about the first 20 or so issues being John Byrne’s (all these guys have their names spelled wrong!) main influence, I have to assume this issue was the influence on his Namor series. In that series Namor’s great wealth comes from knowing where all the sunken treasure is.
Mike, I agree with you that I prefer to see that once Super-Hero’s show up, the world changes. Sometimes it’s negative, like in Watchmen and sometimes it’s positive, like how futuristic Metropolis becomes after the Y2K story.
Reed Richards will try to cure cancer, in the Death of Captain Marvel Graphic Novel. Doesn’t go very well.
The fact that this movie is being done without a plot or script is strange to me too. Did they still show newsreels and other shorts in the early 60’s? Maybe it was supposed to be a movie like that? More of a documentary.
Movies without a script?
Have you guys ever seen any of the Hal Needham movies (Smokey and the Bandit, Cannonball Run, etc …)? It CAN be done.
