AVENGERS VS. X-MEN #2 Once Again Proves the Hulk Maxim

I’m a cynical man, and look upon marketing gimmicks with suspicion and even disdain from time to time. And yet, when the Hulk verbally re-affirms the hierarchy of strongness, why even I have a soft spot.

This would be the teaser for Avengers vs. X-Men #2 out next month

So if you’ve been waiting for this thing that would be a recurring feature in Wizard Magazine if that was still a thing, but is now a whole Marvel event, here’s your Red Hulk vs. Colossus.

Comments

  1. “AND I GIVE THE BEST BACK MASSAGES” β€”Red Hulk

  2. At this point I’m more interested in who the weakest one is. Paste Pot Pete maybe??

  3. I literally couldn’t care less about this “event”, but this does pose an interesting question:

    Would Red Hulk (not Green Hulk) really win in a one-on-one with Collosernaught (not regular Collosus)?

    Before you zombies fire off the old standby regurgitations (“strongest there is”, “best there is”, blah, blah, blah), really think about it. Hulk’s only the strongest there is because Stan Lee or whoever said he was 60 years ago and it stuck. I’m honestly trying to generate discussion out of this ridiculous (and quite poorly desgined) advertisement. A futile effort, I’m sure. But it’s a slow day at work.

    I’m only reading one of these characters’ books (Uncanny), but Collosernaught has really fucked some shit up in that title, so at the very least he seems pretty tought to beat.

    So how ’bout it? Who would win?

  4. Red Hulk is more powerful than Colossus. But more powerful Colossus Juggernaut? Something is very wrong with his Juggernaut stuff if that turns to be true.

  5. “Stop struggling, Piotr. Let’s not turn this rape into a murder.”

  6. I knew I wouldn’t be the only one to find the posing of that image to be a little…rough. Is that Colossus, or Ultimate Colossus?

    • Ultimate Colossus isn’t bald. He just has shinier, sleeker hair πŸ˜€ that said JRJ hasn’t been turning in his best stuff lately. I’ve actually come to realise I’m not a huge fan of his sketchier style unless he has a great inker. When him and JMS were on Spider-Man a lot of that stuff looked amazing. But then his Avengers work recently was a little…well…messy. Its the colours that really make his work.

    • Rhetorical question! There is no Red Hulk in the Ultimate Universe.!

    • Did I miss something? You said Colossus? I’m confused. I thought you were saying it didn’t really look like 616 Colossus

  7. Red Hulks got this one in the bag.

  8. I like that Hulk just punched him in the back of the head. I wonder if Colossus was checking his phone just a moment earlier

  9. No, Bobby. I was making reference to Ultimate Colossus being gay.

    • Ah yeah…that was not played out well imo

      you could see they’d laid it since the beginning but as soon as it was revealed it seemed they changed his character substantially to fit that status quo. He wasn’t the same character any more which was poor since finding out the guy who went around with Wolverine beating up gangsters was gay would have been interesting. Instead he became some pining teenager. Much in the same way Ultimate Nightcrawler seemed to have his earlier characteristics undermined.

      Hey ho thats how things go and that’s not what this is about.

  10. Colossus never struck me as a bottom
