Hulk says: Wear Purple Today for Epilepsy Awareness!

Hulk says: Wear Purple Today for Epilepsy Awareness!

  • March 26, 2010

Ever since Hulk was little boy, his favorite show was Diff’rent Strokes. Hulk’s favorite episode was from the 7th season, entitled ‘A Special Friend’. Why was this Hulk’s favorite episode? Because Hulk learned about Arnold’s friend, and her epilepsy. Hulk take this disease very seriously. Way more seriously than Hulk take his own comic serious. You still think fans care about Red Hulk? Fans know there be only one Hulk. And Hulk is green. Green with purple pants. Now me remember! Hulk came to ComicMix today to talk about Purple Day! Hulk wear purple pants to raise awareness for epilepsy!

If you like Hulk, and want to show support, first Hulk say “HULK SMASH MOUSEY-CLICKY-THING HERE!“. There you’ll find plenty of ways to help support epilepsy awareness. Also, you become smart on epilepsy facts by reading on their interwebs. Be smart like stupid Banner! Me learn that epilepsy effects 1 out of every 100 people. Me learn that 3 million Americans have epilepsy. Me learn more, but you should visit site by yourself.

Hulk personally am buying a tee shirt from their store, and then Hulk will donate his Facebook status to let people know about Purple Day. Hulk have many friends on Facebook. Hulk great at Farmville, and always tag Metal Guy in photos when he drink too much in Avengers Mansion. Hulk remember being Avenger. Now Hulk can’t be Avenger, because he don’t know which team to be on. Hulk ask short-claw-stubble-face which team he on, and he just start crying.

Variety reports that square-jawed lady-killer Chris Evans will be under the winged-mask of Captain America for Marvel’s upcoming The First Avenger: Captain America, set to hit theaters next summer.

Also noted from Variety: Evan’s deal looks to be for at least three pictures, not including the already mentioned “Avengers” film set to come out in 2012. Evans will be hurling his shield next to Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man, Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, as well as Edward Norton’s green skinned goliath, the Hulk.

The First Avenger: Captain America also has cast the neo-hating turned neo-nazi, Hugo Weaving as the villainous Red Skull.

Of course, comic book fans should not be surprised by Mr. Evan’s turn as a hero, given his lengthy comic book twinged resumé. Starring first as the hot headed Johnny Storm in the less-than-beloved pair of Fantastic Four pictures, Evans will also debut as the alliterated Lucas Lee in the upcoming Scott Pilgrim flick, as well as the jacked-mouth hacker Jake Jensen in the forthcoming Losers movie coming out this April.

So, ComicMix fans, what do you think? Does Evans belong wielding the shield? Where do you think Stan Lee will cameo in the Cap film? Do you think Ben Grimm will enjoy a quieter Baxter building while Johnny get’s a little patriotic? Tell us what you think, soldier!

According to the Hollywood

Reporter, Chris Evans has been offered the lead in The First Avenger: Captain America. Evans is perhaps best known in these circles as Johnny Storm, a.k.a. The Human Torch, in the two Fantastic Four movies.

Evans would be signing for what has been reported to be a nine picture deal: at least two sequels and appearance(s) in The Avengers movie(s) as well as in other Marvel superhero films. Nice steady work for an actor who isn’t afraid to get typecast.

The First Avenger is to be directed by Joe “Wolfman” Johnston; Hugo Weaving (Lord of the Rings, V For Vendetta) has been cast as The Red Skull. The movie is presently set for a July 22, 2011 release, with The Avengers following on May 4, 2012.

There’s probably no chance of a cross-over, as Marvel’s doing a complete reboot on The Fantastic Four movie franchise.

Neither Marvel Films nor Evans’ people have confirmed or denied as of yet this weekend.

“If you need me, simply call me on my phone shaped like Mary Worth. I shall immediately leap forth and don my heroic garb and join you in battle. Shall I bring my Steve Allen Ultimate Pog? Perhaps I shall thwart the evil we face today in a rousing round of Lee Carvallo’s Putting Challenge!”

“Yeah, trust me babe. The Avengers need me. I’m a star! Simon? Theodore? Come on. They’re just like Tigra and Ant-Man… worthless filler getting in the way of the main attraction.”

“That’s right, toots. It’ll be me, Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America. We’ll be ‘The Fantastic Four’!”

“Now, what number do we start with? I called Brother Voodoo, and told him I love you. Singing…Ooh-ee-ooh-ah-ah, fing-fang-walla-walla-bing-bang-foom.”

“Finally a universe free of homages! Hi guys, Mark Grayson here, and I’m sure glad to accept this invitation to join the Avengers. I just hope you’re not controlled by the government. I’ve had issues with them in the past. I looked through your previous roster, and it seems like you’re pretty alien friendly too. That’s a good feeling.”

“My buddy Robert didn’t want me to come over here. He said things would be “too easy…”. He said I should stick to playing in my own sandbox (whatever that means…). But he says a lot of stuff that I swear I’ve heard before.”

“Meh. Never mind all that. Show me where I should start punching!”

Marvel Comics Sues Jack Kirby!

  • News
  • January 9, 2010

Yeah, I know. Jack’s long-gone. That doesn’t mean he can’t be sued – or, at least, his estate. To be fair, Jack started it.

A whole bunch of copyrights expire between 2014 and 2019,
and Kirby’s estate sent notices saying those copyrights will revert to from the House That Jack Built to Jack’s actual house.

These copyrights pretty much include everything Jack ever
touched at Marvel: Amazing Adventures, Amazing Fantasy, Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers, Fantastic Four, The Incredible
Hulk, Journey into Mystery, Rawhide Kid, Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos,
Strange Tales, Tales to Astonish, Tales of Suspense and The X-Men.

This action follows similar claims made by Jerry Siegel
(Superman), Marty Nodell (Green Lantern) and Joe Simon (Captain America). All have met with some degree of success for the litigants.

Marvel, of course, claims all this stuff was created as work-for-hire and therefore belongs to Marvel. Or, actually, now, Disney. “It is a standard claim predictably made by comic book companies to deprive artists, writers, and other talent of all rights in their work,” according to Kirby’s attorney Marc Toberoff. “The Kirby children intend to vigorously defend against Marvel’s claims in the hope of finally vindicating their father’s work… Sadly, Jack died without proper compensation, credit or recognition for his lasting creative contributions.”

In the world of litigation, Newtonian physics reigns supreme. Marvel lawyer John Turitzin said in a statement that the heirs were
trying “to rewrite the history of Kirby’s relationship with Marvel,” adding “Everything about Kirby’s relationship with Marvel shows that his contributions were works made for hire and that all the copyright interests in them belong to Marvel.” He then sought a court ruling that the Kirby notices have no effect.

Marvel is now owned by Disney, and Disney’s got more
hard-ass lawyers than Harvard graduated in 200 years. If the Kirby estate were to win, the $4,000,000,000.00 Disney just spent for Marvel goes up in smoke. Expect a big bloody fight – or an amusing settlement.
