Savage Hulk (1996)

Post by Col_Fury »

SAVAGE HULK (January, 1996)
By Peter David & Mike McKone (framing sequence), Dave Gibbons (Cap fb), William Messner-Loebs, Sam Keith & Dane McCart (Rhino fb), Scott Lobdell & Humberto Ramos (Defenders fb), B.J. Estes & Pascal Ferry (SHIELD fb), Matt Wagner & Pat McEown (Avengers fb) & Jeph Loeb & Tim Sale (hungry Hulk fb)

APPEARANCES:
Hulk (also in fb & fb-fb), Rick (also in fb), Marlo, Betty, Doc Samson, Wolverine, Peter Parker, Howard the Duck, Rhino (also in fb), Leader, MODOK, Dragon Man, Dreadnaught, Gargoyle, Piecemeal, Wendigo, Ringmaster, Human Cannonball, Abomination, Mad Thinker, Awesome Android, Hammer & Anvil, Juggernaut, Crimson Dynamo, Tyrannus, Man-Bull, Kang, Klaw, Fin Fang Foom, X-Ray, Absorbing Man, Annihilus, Captain America (in fb), Dr. Strange (in fb), Valkyrie (in fb), John F. Kennedy (bts in fb), Iron Man (also in fb & fb-fb), Thor (in fb), Wasp (bts in fb), Space Phantom (bts in fb)

FLASHBACKS:
Rick Jones tries to break up a fight between Hulk, the Army and Captain America (pages 5-13, retells/expands CA 110). Hulk beats up the Rhino and chats with some kid about bullies (pages 15-19). Dr. Strange casts an illusion (Hulk beats up a bunch of foes) on the Hulk so Hulk can get his aggression out (pages 21-25). Hulk (green) fights Iron Man (grey suit) and the army (-FB-FB). The next day at the President’s request, the military consults with forming group SHIELD about how to deal with the Hulk (pages 27-30). Hulk and Thor fight until Iron Man (hearing about it from Wasp) arrives and breaks it up. Iron Man tells them the Space Phantom is back and they leave to deal with him (pages 32-39). Hulk breaks into a restaurant and steals some beans (pages 41-51).
SYNOPSIS:
Hulk goes to court because he’s being sued for all the damaged he’s caused over the years. After several witnesses testify the point is made that the Hulk only ever reacted to attacks; he rarely if ever caused an attack himself. Suddenly, an army of villains attack the courthouse, proving the Hulk’s point. As Hulk chases off the villains, the judge dismisses the case.

NOTE:
H2 436 starts a story where the Hulk isn’t smart anymore, so this has to go before that. H2 435 has a preview of this special, so that’s nice. Also, this was published the same month as Incredible Hulk #437 & Doc Samson #1. However, because Juggernaut appears here this has to happen around comics published roughly six months earlier, because Juggernaut is sucked into the Ultraverse in W2 93. So, howsabout right after DCVM? Because any later than that and Tony Stark isn’t available to appear anymore.

Hammer & Anvil were killed in M/FAN 29 by the Scourge of the Underworld, so these guys have to be a new set.

As long as we’re here, Rick and Marlo have been divorced for years now. We really should change her name to “Marlo Chandler” with a re-direct “Marlo Chandler Jones” listing.
