Wolverine vs. Hulk #3: Still no vs.-ing
Intruder \| 8:44 PM on 03.07.2009	7 comments

I'll go ahead and give you the scoop on issues 1 through 3 before I start my rant.

Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk Issue #1 - Enjoyable backstory, no fight
Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk Issue #2 - ...more backstory, stalling fight
Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk Issue #3 - stalling, one punch, more stalling, an unnecessary third character. WTF

I started buying this series almost because of the title alone. Wolverine vs. Hulk. Holy shit. How could they screw something this badass up? The first two issues were a lot of fun, and I couldn't wait to dig into the third so I could see the actual fight start. Still no fight.

Dialogue, plot, character depth, all these things are great WHEN NEEDED. This is the story of two superpowered beings duking it out in Tibet. That's it. I want to see Hulk tear Logan's face off! I want to see Wolverine stab hulk through the skull. Limbs should be broken, blood spilled. What I DO NOT want to see is the two having a nice little conversation.

Issue 3 consisted of Wolverine and Hulk talking. Yeah, a punch is thrown, but it doesn't advance the fight or even affect the two characters. I want to see how this battle ends!

I'm basically just incoherently typing away to say: BRING BACK THE FIGHT!

Not just in this comic, in everything! I want to see well choreographed, well drawn, well animated, FIGHTS!

I get the sense that they are just trying to build the tension with the first three issues.

Also, they sort of wrote themselves into a corner when the Hulk tore Wolverine in half in issue #1.

My guess is that in the next issue, that "unnecessary third character" will stall the Hulk long enough for Logan to reattach his legs, and get back to really fighting the Hulk. Then Hulk will probably rip him in half again in the last issue, and that will be that.

How can they build suspense when its 2 and a half years for issue 3 to come out?

Just end the damn thing already.

You're probably right. I think I'm just a little impatient, haha. However, I do think that that "3rd character" isn't essential to what this whole conflict is about.

I've been meaning to read this... but I'll probably wait until the series is finished in May.

They aren't fighting because the fight is a total non-contest.
Hulk every single time.
