'Incredible Hulk' Countdown Roundup

There's a lot of green on the scene these days...

With the release of The Incredible Hulk looming, there have been a few items of note hitting the 'Net that might be worth, well... noting. While I could probably re-write that sentence to make it read a little better, I think it fits in well with the overall Hulk vibe, which seems to go something like this:

HULK SMASH YOUR PUNY GRAMMAR!

Over at Marvel.com, The Incredible Hulk Smash game is a free, online game in which you play as the Hulk and try to smash everything in sight -- which consists of buildings, taxis and military vehicles. Apparently, Hulk really hates taxis. While I understand the whole "power-up" and "super smash" abilities, I'm not quite sure I understand why Hulk is also able to freeze time in this game. But anyways...

Did anyone catch the "Hulk Up" episode of American Gladiators last night? I missed it, but I'd love to hear how that cross-promotion turned out. It was a nice idea, so I'm curious about viewer reaction. At least one reviewer wasn't impressed. Anyone else have an opinion? Is anyone who reads ComicMix watching American Gladiators?

Feeling a bit nostalgic for the old Hulk television series? SciFi Channel is currently running a marathon of the series, with 10 episodes airing each day until Friday's film release.

Oh, and on a completely unrelated-to-the-movie but Hulk-related all the same, I wonder if the Elias Hulk album "Unchained" is feeling the effects of all the Hulk mania. Just check out that excellent, semi-NSFW album cover!

Be sure to keep an eye on ComicMix this week for our special ComicMix TV video interviews with the people behind The Incredible Hulk, as well as our review of the film later this week.
