Bruce Banner’s parenting style will make every Tiger Mom green with envy
I have just done reading Incredible Hulk #603 and I have all these feelings for the father and son pair.
The part when Bruce and Wolverine pulled their sons away from each other. It reminds me of kids in kindergarten who fought over swings, and their fathers who later came to fetch them (“Forget that swing, Daddy can get you something better”).
Bruce is one hot daddy and yes, I ended up seriously questioning which one is more dangerous, the Hulk or him. Which one is the dark side.
If you have not read it, then please do.
Fatherhood, MARVEL superheroes style
- Wolverine: My kid is a freakin' psychopath while yours is barbarian, Banner.
- Bruce Banner: Great, they're gonna have lots to talk about!
Something for all of you Bruce Banner fangirls out there to check out!
If you have been following the angry scientist’s story in the movie-verse, and are looking forward to see him in different light, The Incredible Hulks: Planet Savage by Greg Pak, Dale Eaglesham and Tom Grummett is definitely the one you should watch out for.
The book started with a story that goes in line with the Planet Hulk series, so you may need a background knowledge on that. The Hulk family* –notice that the Hulk in the title is in plural form- goes on an adventure to a planet full of bugs, and they are basically smashing enemies and doing all the usual stuff. I am not particularly interested in this one and found myself flipping through the pages for something more interesting, but perhaps that was something to do with the fact that I have not read the preceding story.
The second story is ultimately one of my favorites as we get to see Bruce Banner playing James Bond as an international super-spy. Dressing up in a suit** and going on a mission to Italy with all these cool gadgets. As no Bond movie would be complete without the appearance of Bond girls***, here we also get to see the dynamics of Banner’s love-hate relationship with ex-wife Betty Ross, and a passing fling with a hot Italian professor.
The book may not give you any in-depth information of Banner’s life story right away, but it was great to see him doing stuff that you otherwise do not see in the movie-verse.
You can also start fantasizing about doing sexy stuff with Banner-Bond.
*Consists of ex-wife Betty Ross as Red She-Hulk, friend Rick Jones as A-Bomb, son Skaar, and cousin Jen Walters, to name a few.
**The suit is able to stretch as he Hulked-out, so imagine Hulk wearing a suit and carrying a gun. CUTENESS OVERLOAD.
***Banner girls.
If this doesn’t make you clutch your phone in anticipation then I don’t know what will.
HOW ARE YOUR FEELS, TUMBLR?
MY FEELS ARE JUST CAN’T BCUZ HULKxWIDOW IS CANON.
Please, there has not been many good news from the Hulk side lately!
UPDATE: Well, thank you, Marvel. That was very kind of you.
Mini Review: Indestructible Hulk vol.1, by Mark Waid and Leinil Yu
Check out that particular scene of Tony in his Iron Man regalia and Bruce in a S.H.I.E.L.D issue biosuit, doing scientific stuff in the Himalaya. If you are a cinematic universe Science Bros fan who hesitates about getting into comic universe, this may change your mind.
The Indestructible Hulk sees Bruce Banner in a new light where he had learnt to accept that his ‘unique’ condition is indeed incurable, had a slight makeover to his look (contact lenses, real haircut, and fitted clothes, as Tony put it), and determined to save the world as a S.H.I.E.L.D agent. Ta-da. He pitched to Agent Maria Hill a proposal that entitles the Hulk serving as the agency’s “cannon", with Bruce getting funding and laboratory facilities in return. To make his dream of saving the world by curing cancer and water-bourne disease comes true.
It has been great so far, but then again this is only volume one. Knowing Bruce, things tend to get bumpy after some time, but for the time being Indestructible Hulk is a good comfort read if you care a lot about Bruce’s happiness and well-being.
I am also seeing the relationship between Bruce and Tony in a new perspective. Not only that seemed to be made for each other, as we may have seen in cinematic universe, but it was also revealed that they were envious of one another. Bruce wants to be like Tony, so badly. With all his successes and recognition. Tony, in the other hand, had always seen Bruce as a guy with a baggage, sulking in the corner of the room. But this person had suddenly began to catch up with him. And he got anxious.
Oh, perhaps this is just me, but do notice that there are similarities between how Bruce looks like in this series and how he looks like at the end credits of Iron Man 3. There was a slight mention of Ultron at the beginning, and remember that Mark Ruffalo once tweeted about Bruce Banner doing something ‘interesting’ at the second instalment of Avengers, which will be called Avengers: Age of Ultron. I am watching this space.
Great drawings, by the way. The reason I was once hesitant about reading American comics is that their colouring technique tend to give me a headache. I am a manga girl by heart, after all. But I notice something that reminds me of Korean and Japanese style of colouring in the way Leinil Yu draws, and that really hit home.
(4.5 out of 5 stars)
Bruce seems to be standing too close to almost everyone.
Tony Stark went inside a time machine
And landed in London. The year was 1895.
Guess who lived in Baker Street, London, in that era.
“My God, we look so alike!”
