"Hulk: Grand Design," Sounds Right Up My Alley

The, "Grand Design," comics have had fantastic creators retell the origins of famous Marvel superheroes in superb ways. Ed Piskor gave us the amazing X-Men version and then Tom Scioli crafted a beautiful take on the Fantastic Four. Now, Jim Rugg will be doing a retelling of the origin of the Hulk. Rugg has made some awesome works from, "Street Angel," to, "Afrodisiac," and plenty of other neat stuff. I'm excited at the thought of him giving us, "Hulk: Grand Design," in the near future!

Tom Scioli Doing a, "Fantastic Four," Comic? Yes Please!

Well, Marvel found a way to make me read a, "Fantastic Four," comic willingly again. Seriously, I don't think I've been excited to read a book specifically focused on the team such Jonathan Hickman's run started back in--lemme check my notes here--2009? God, it has been awhile (of course the book was canceled for a good deal of time too). I don't know why there are so few, "Fantastic Four," runs I like, but that just seems to be the case--I've always liked Doctor Doom though. Anyways, Tom Scioli, whom I have often sung the praises of, is going to be doing one of those, "Grand Design," mini-series where a whole bunch of Marvel history is summed-up. Ed Piskor did it with the X-Men recently and now Scioli is going to give us two big honking issues of his take on the Fantastic Four.

This has me ecstatic as Scioli  of course is amazing in the fact he basically he does everything with his comics. He writes them, illustrates them, colors them, letters them, and I suspect he may very well be down at the printing-press stapling his books too for good measure. I may not have too many, "Fantastic Four," story-lines I am a big fan of, but I know without a doubt I'll enjoy seeing Scioli's take on the team's legacy. Yeah, I'm pretty pumped for this.
