ORIGINAL: horribleives Is that the one where the Hulk goes round eating people? That's the one yes. Cannibal redneck Hulk and his cannibal redneck family, a natural progression for the character by a writer who had him pretty much try to rape Betty Ross because she was on a date with Freddie Prince Jr. Urgh. That's enough to make Lou Ferrigno shit his eyebrows off. That was the trouble with Millar's Ultimates. For every change he made for the good to one character (Thor - Norse god or batshit crazy environmental activist?), he fucked up at least three others. As bad as the Hulk was, it was his treatment of Cap America that eventually turned me off the comic, with the sickeningly jingoistic "Surrender? Do you think this "A" stands for France?" panel in Ultimates 2. It was then that I decided that as good as the artwork was, it just wasn't worth reading that shit. Interestingly, a couple of months later in the mainstream Cap title, Brubaker had him make a passionate defence of the French during the war, praising the bravery of the resistance. It read like I wasn't the only one turned off by Millar's take on Capt Rogers.
