	It's weirdly flat and emotionless imho. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It is amusing to watch Juggs morph into a cartoon duck in the first panel, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, Banner looks like he's all of ... maybe 13? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It is a bit of a dick move, but I love this interpetation of Banner, if not just for the lolz he brings in me. :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Me too.. steverodgers5 2009-09-20 02:09 am UTC (link)

	So much for all those years of Juggy's character development... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	yeah. And it's all because of the Hulk. He should smack him around for that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He went back to being evil in World War Hulk (though he did it to save Professor X, ironically). (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	crinosg 2009-09-19 06:59 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, because he sold his soul back to Cytorak right? Is that why it looks like he has a collar on? to symbolize his enslavement to Cytorak? Or am I reading too much into this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	schmevil 2009-09-19 07:02 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe? Although the helmet is often depicted as being riveted onto his armor. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	jlbarnett 2009-09-19 07:44 pm UTC (link)
	nah, that's just an especially detailed look at the base of the helmet (Reply to this) (Parent)

	foxhack 2009-09-19 07:08 pm UTC (link)
	I'm aware of that. Like I said, so much for all those years of character development. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	character development? in comics? oh please, everyone knows us fans don't want that silly thing (Reply to this) (Parent)

On Juggernaut's role in WWH: X-Men, Gage said "Juggy has, for the time being, given up trying to be a hero. He's chosen to embrace the full power of the Juggernaut, which, under the demon Cyttorak's rules, means he has to be a villain. But Juggernaut was never an all-good or all-bad character; that's what I like about him. He may be on the wrong side of the law again, but that doesn't mean he'll be kicking puppies or killing senior citizens, and it doesn't mean you won't ever see him do something positive. He'll probably be a lot like the Juggernaut you remember from his past battles with the X-Men. And who knows? He may be looking for a way to get the upper hand on Cyttorak and still keep his power...if that can be done!"

So he wasn't a full-on bad guy at that point.

	Yeah, but that was before Mike Carey decided to have him randomly killing civilians, so what Gage said at that point doesn't really stand. Carey made him fullblown psychopathic. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	OH SNAP BRUCE Something kind of Warren Ellis-ish about Bruce's dialogue there. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It's a hallmark of Ollivetti art, borrowed presumably from Tim Buckley. He's got his little horrid fingers all over this company... (Reply to this) (Parent)

Define "irony:"

Now that Bruce Banner can no longer transform into an unstoppable rage machine, he's deliberately goading everyone who already has the power and the motive to kill him.

... And yet, somehow, it makes sense. Even more than Peter Parker and Matt Murdock combined, Bruce Banner's life with super-powers has been a living hell, and now that he's survived that, nothing else frightens him.

Moreover, since giving in to his rage no longer causes him to turn big and green, he feels more free than ever to nurse petty grudges and treat people like shit as much as possible, which must be like a lifetime worth of Christmases for him.

	Also, he has this protective force field so he can't be hurt. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm actually not surprised that he Banner is like this. I kinda imagined he'd be an annoying nerd. (Reply to this)
