Civil War Meets Planet Hulk In Incredible Hulk #100

Written by andy on Monday, October 9th, 2006 in General.

Civil War is going to get a taste of the incredible in the pages of Incredible Hulk #100 as the seeds are planted for next year’s epic World War Hulk. The milestone centennial issue of Incredible Hulk will feature a back-up story penned by Greg Pak with pencils by Gary Frank bringing to readers a very important Civil War story that examines whether the Illuminati was justified in banishing the Hulk into space. Plus, learn more about the Thor clone that debuted in Civil War #3 and killed Goliath in Civil War #4.

Not only will this Hulk-sized issue contain an important Civil War back-up story and reprints of the Incredible Hulk #3, #143, and #152, but this issue continues the instant-classic Planet Hulk story as the next chapter, “Planet Hulk: Allegiance,” begins.

Like the “Road to Civil War” issues, which sold out quickly and had multiple reprintings, Incredible Hulk #100 is sure to be a red-hot issue as the road to next year’s big event, World War Hulk, begins here!

Will the Hulk save Sakaar from the planet’s greatest enemies or will he fulfill the prophecy of the Sakkarson and be revealed as the Worldbreaker? It’s an all-out smash-fest as the Hulk and Caiera the Oldstrong lead their warriors against the horrifying Spikes. And amidst the battle, Miek undergoes a shocking development.

There are 100 reasons not to miss Incredible Hulk #100: Civil War, Planet Hulk, Greg Pak, the return of Carlo Pagulayan, Gary Frank penciling Hulk again, classic Hulk stories, and the list goes on.

WoW Fans Pick Apart South Park Episode

Written by andy on Monday, October 9th, 2006 in TV.

When Matt Stone and Trey Parker decided to take aim at World of Warcraft, the move seemed to be made with Blizzard’s blessing. The duo parodied the WoW phenomenon incredibly well, and, unsurprisingly, fans paid attention to every detail.

In fact, this morning, digg pointed to a Wikipedia article where WoW fans pointed out incredibly minor mistakes and inconsistences made during the episode. If there was ever a WTF moment for the week, this is it.

Check out a few choice samples:

“He [Randy] incorrectly suggests that he is a hunter.”

“Cartman’s character is the main tank and wields an Unyielding Maul. He is the leader of the boys’ group and is always the last killed. His armor color is the same as his jacket. He is a warrior, but when you see his actionbar, it looks like a Rogues actionbar (It has Eviscrate and Stealth).”

“Trailers for this episode show Stan and Kyle in what appears to be the Undercity, right after Kenny is killed. In the airing of the show, they were in Goldshire.”

“When Randy gives Stan the Sword of 1000 Truths, he is able to talk to Stan even though Stan isn’t using his headset microphone — although the animators used headsets as a visual clue that the boys were communicating via the computer, headsets are not the only way to communicate via PC. There could be a desktop mic or one built in to the monitor, etc.”

“This guy’s character is shirtless and wears a helmet, boots and gloves. EDIT: He is seen casting Fire Blast and Arcane Explosion in Westfall(mage only spells). However, summoning scorpions is not possible with a Mage.”
