Because Marvel likes to milk crossover events – there are going to be TWO Word War Hulk events, Alpha and Gamma (like radiation! GET IT?!) Alpha is basically the left hand side called the "Intelligentsia" or something similarly prosaic and basically The Leader gets them together to mess with the gamma gang or some such.

Red and Green on the same team…christs sakes this must be one major clusterfuck.

[fungo09]

wich one are you talking about?

Actually im not sure it came out last week, so like 9 days ago.. it has two stories in it..

Incredible Hulk #601.

Had a fem Abomination that wasnt as terribly done as Abominatrix.

Yes and the "monkeys are the Red ghost's super apes( Red ghost is the dude next to the Leader.

I had an unstated second question. Specifically, "when did Egghead become not-dead?"

Maybe he is a Skrull leftover…

There aren't two, thos are just One-shots. Prologues to the actual story.

Ah, so Marvel is pushing ahead with that oh so wholesome inability to not just spew out tie-ins?

The Hulk team-up was pretty hilarious… seriously, someone thought Angel and Iceman standing near the Hulk was worth printing? Or Dazzler singing at the Hulk? Are Marvel just trying to push the Hulk brand or something? I mean… we had the big ol' storyline with him getting shot into space, hanging out in space, coming back – gave him two (and possibly 3) kids, one of who has got his own title, another of whom got a mini-series and is now appearing regularly in one of the TWO monthly Hulk titles and now we seem to be randomly getting one shots and the build up to ANOTHER meta-event and of course, we've got the whole Rulk and the appearance of the She-Rulk to look forward to.

I suppose for obvious reasons, I keep my eye on Hulk titles more than others but the proliferation of a supporting cast of gamma spawn seems to be more than what you'd normally get. I suppose with Cap dead they may just be filling the gap but then, I suppose I don't really pay as much attention to the goings on in Marvel that would be required for me to pass any meaningful comment.

I think "Gamma" is the new "X-Gen".

[Prophet Tenebrae]

You could well be right… I suppose the advantage of muties is that they're a dime a dozen. No origin story required just "Oh, I woke up shooting lasers out my eyes, guess I'll go join the X-men." Which lead to sufficient proliferation that Joe Q went ahead with Decimation to clean shop with the bastards.

It certainly seems Marvel has been building the gamma spawn of late… Just off the top of my head, we've had Skaar, Lyra, Rulk, She-Rulk, Scorpion (probably), Rick as A-Bomb and then we had the chaps from Gamma Corps.

I still hope we have some kind of situation where Betty comes back and finds Bruce has managed to have THREE kids while she was dead.
