As Subtle As A Chainsaw

Sunday Comics: Ultimate Hulk Annual #1 (Dec 2008); You know how fan boys are always speculating on why the Hulk’s pants stay on when he transforms? Well, in the Ultimate Universe, they don’t…and this causes a problem when he wants service at Appletite’s. They have a strict “No Shirt, No Shoes, No Pants, No Service” policy…and the Hulk is naked and hungry for pancakes. Enter Zarda, Power Princess from the Squadron Supreme Universe who happens to be eating at the same diner in an attempt to mingle among the little folk.

Since Power Princess is an analog of Wonder Woman (as Squadron Supreme is an analog of the Justice League) this book basically answers the question “What would happen if Wonder Woman fought the Hulk?”

And they tear it up….a light entertaining read with more than capable pencils by Ed McGuinness and Marko Djurdjevic and a quick page turning story by Jeph Loeb. You’ll go through it as quickly as Hulk goes through underwear although the ending is eye-rolling inducing.

For those not familiar with either the Ultimate Universe or Squadron Supreme Universe, no previous reading is required since you would get the gist of the characters from the get go…Hulk likes to Smash and Power Princess likes to fight. For new comic book readers altogether, it would just re-affirm their belief that comics have no substance and it’s just about people trying to smash each other’s heads in.

For fans of video games and boobs!
