The Best of the Week In... Covers (11/18/09)

I live in Portland, (Stumptown, P-town), whatever you want to call it.  Anyway, that cover is also awesome because I can pretty much place the area where that background is being referenced, which to me, is pretty frickin' cool.

Probably one of the best Hulk storylines in a long, long time.  I'm totally down for this animated version.  Plus, I love that they made Hulk's eyes red.  Very cool.

The iFanboy Letter Column - 10/09/2009
