If there ever was an artist under Chan’s layers of inking, he’s long gone now, but from the layout, I’d say it was Ernie alone. <br /><br /><br />You have to wonder why, when Stark delivered this, SHIELD or Ross or whoever didn’t say ‘excuse me, you’re the guy who invented the Iron Man armour, right? Which is clearly massively superior to this piece of barely automated junk which needs 5 guys to even move its arms & legs about? So, given that even Iron Man has never stopped the Hulk for long enough to even squeeze in a decent heart attack, how do you figure this piece of junk is going to accomplish anything? And why haven’t you delivered something more akin to the Shellhead suit?’ <br /><br /><br />I am however always baffled that, given that we worked out a long time ago that the way to floor the Hulk is to gas or asphyxiate him, why the US army still spends trillions of bucks on ever-more complex and unlikely hardware to combat old jade-jaws when the recommended method is just to put a bag on his head?<br /><br />I like Palmer’s inks here, but I think you definitely see it’s over Sal, except maybe a couple of panels that look more JB than SB. But I’m just splitting Buscemas now. <br /><br />RichardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-6145764732796117472011-12-14T12:32:46.674-06:002011-12-14T12:32:46.674-06:00"I'm thinking the delay in reaction time ..."I'm thinking the delay in reaction time is going to cost somebody down the road here."<br /><br />Especially when each command is accompanied by an expository explanation of the attack and technology or application that underlies it.<br /><br />Sometime it would be fun to watch the Hulk just demolish a villain concept as fiddly as this.Lemnocnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-83688676548270921782011-12-14T09:14:48.343-06:002011-12-14T09:14:48.343-06:00Before I even read your post, I said to myself &qu...Before I even read your post, I said to myself "wow, that is a tremendous cover".
