Skaar, aka Beef Slamchest

[transemacabre]

So today I tried to read the Skaar Son of Hulk TPB to get caught up for the upcoming Wolverine/Hulk/Skaar/Daken fourway battle in Incredible Hulk #603. Four issues into it, Skaar has said two lines: "&*%^ the Prophets" and "Stupid softskins."

WTF. The entire thing is nothing more than Skaar grunting and punching aliens, while other aliens monologue and provide exposition.

Hm, I meant to pick it up but I hear conflicted opinions...

I see I've been saving valuable money and time by not reading that title, then...

Half the interest factor for the Hulk is the psychological element with the contrast and inner conflict between Bruce and the Hulk. Skaar seems to have none of that.

I have so given up on reading all things related to the Hulk. It just seems to get stupider and stupider.

Heya! I noticed you friended me, which is actually pretty cool 'cos I was just looking at your profile the other day (after searching "daken" in lj interests, of course) and thought you sounded lovely. I'm Kate. :D

Hi Kate! I'm super-psyched to find new Daken fans to geek with!

Yay! I noticed you had aim, by the way, are you online much? That's where most of my geekery happens. XD

Anyway, I'm a bit weird with friending people—not in a negative way, but I've two livejournals and this one's really only a supplementary one. Most of my non-internet friends are aware I'm into fandom and slash but I try to keep the bulk of the stuff they'd prefer not to see over here just to avoid being annoying about it. Fandom's spread over both journals—I barely ever post in this one unless it's about straight-up porn. The other one's rulethirtyfour, and I'll add you there as well. :)
