Thread: No WWH tie-in?

    No WWH tie-in?

    I was just browsing over the full World War Hulk tie-in list shown on Newsarama here - and there's no She-Hulk tie-in listed. Now I know it's not meant to be an all-encompassing event like Civil War was, and Dan's already weaving Shulkie into the general WWH mayhem so it's not like we'll be left with her being uninvolved, but... no official tie-in? Avengers: The Initiative, Ant-Man, and Ghost Rider are popping their heads in (Heroes for Hire looks like they've got a pukka WWH arc, so that's not so much a tie-in of opportunity), why not She-Hulk?

    I'm not asking that in a let's-storm-the-Marvel-office way, I'm just curious - with all the groundwork being laid in She-Hulk already, it seems odd there isn't an actual tie-in on the cards. Theories, anyone?

    From Comicbookresources:

    "In addition, issues 106 and 107 [of Hulk] deal with the repercussions of the Hulk’s return on his longtime ally Namor, and Bruce’s cousin Jen Walters, aka She-Hulk. In Slott’s run on “She-Hulk,” Jen Walters has become the “surrogate Hulk,” doing her best to deal with the Hulk’s rogue’s gallery of villains who have been running amok in Bruce’s absence. Slott urged readers to pick up “She-Hulk” 18, as her appearance in “Incredible Hulk” 106 picks up 10 seconds after the end of the former."

    So while it looks like the She-Hulk series won't be offically tying in, She-Hulk herself looks set to have a role.

    "Planet Without a Hulk" is a tie-in, and it's so ahead of the curve that it doesn't even appear on the checklist.

    And I think "Planet Without a Hulk" is the reason why SHE-HULK isn't doing a direct tie-in to the crossover. This arc is already taking a break from the superhuman law premise of the series, so I'm not sure Dan would want to do two such arcs back to back.

    well, the Hulk tie-ins seem to continue into #19. remember how last year the civil war tie-in managed to spill over an extra two issues beyond the designated tie-in?...

    If the Hulk is King, then surely Jen has become a Princess at the very least?

    Namor and Hulk are friends? They didn't seem friendly in Keith "have you found Nemo yet?" Giffens Defenders

    Given Namor's mercurial moods, most of his friendships involve a certain amount of antagonism. I think Captain America is the only one of his friendships that doesn't have an element of hostility to it.

    That's because Steve asks him to invade New York and beat up Americans now and then.

    Cap is probably the only person who can say these words and not get a fistful of teeth:

    "And you'll be paying for that table, Namor."
