One thing that Hulk fan's can count on is the inevitable changing of the guards. Yes Mark Bagley is leaving after Omega Hulk vol.2. He was a consistent artist that hit some pages out of the park. Would he have been my first, second or even seventh pick? No! But he did manage to win me over with some issues. Doc Green persona won't last either especially after the BattleWorld event Marvel is holding. So which Hulk incarnation will take the helm? Does Gerry Duggan have a say? I sure hope so. He has confessed he is a Hulk fan. He hasn't stated on record if Hulk is his favorite. A lot of readers agree if there is a reboot. Gravage Hulk should be the dominate persona. For me it doesn't stop there. I demand my Hulk to be brave, reckless, ferocious and unrelenting in dulling out punishment with his fists. The dangerous Hulk needs to comeback. Hulk has lost that savage dangerous side of him. When so-called allies don't want to stand to close to him in fear of him lashing out at them. Hulk with very few friends is a dangerous Hulk. Losing it to the rage has been a aspect that we have all missed from our Walking Gamma Nuke these last five or six years.
Will Banner see more on panel time this go around? He has been very absent from the Hulk comics. Not a deal breaker considering Mark Waid just did a excellent job making a place for Banner on earth. Hard to predict what Gerry has in store. Will we get a healthy dose of Hulk and Banner after Omega Hulk? And who will be the new artist? Fingers crossed for me that Mike Deodato Jr. makes stab at it for a while especially if its Gravage or Savage Hulk that Gerry Duggan and Hulk editorial decide on.
