FTF10 Blog Is Back Again (Kind Of)

So, it's come to this - another FTF10 blog.

Actually, no. One of the issues with trading in blogger for a dedicated CMS was that I couldn't snark, engage in entirely unnecessary asides, insult my numerous enemies and detractors and tell the community I love and humbly serve so gladly, what was going on - with female transformation, with FTF10 itself and my own views upon it. Which I'm sure you're all just dying to hear.

Last week saw the introduction of Red She-Hulk... to be honest, Marvel have been going kind of Hulk crazy ever since the whole Planet Hulk thing but then, I suppose their meta-events have to be fuelled by SOMETHING - well, beyond the desire for money in their pockets. So, for those not following the general overall continuity I shall sum up briefly... Bunch of chaps decide the Hulk is too dangerous, fire him into space, he goes to the wrong planet, becomes the king, finds a wife, then a bomb goes off, kills the wife and he comes back to Earth, royally pissed but ends up getting defeated and then taken into custody... only for a RED Hulk to turn up and start running amok. That probably summation saved you many hours of reading and several hundred dollars worth of comics.

Anyway, turns out the red Hulk - aka Rulk - is actually NOT Banner. So, then there's a whole "Who is Rulk?" situation but then Loeb's ADD kicks in, all the likely suspects are eliminated and that aspect is dropped UNTIL Domino finds out his identity, leading to a face off between a team Rulk put together and one Domino put together. Of course, this was all preceded by the showing off in previews of a wholesome cheesecake, pictured above.

So, Domino and Elektra disappear and then Red She-Hulk appears - dun dun dun. It was kind of inevitable... The original She-Hulk was a product of copyright laws, Red She-Hulk could be much the same, I expect. Still - there's no need for her to be a write-off in creative terms. The fact she's in a title being written by Jeph "Lost It" Loeb... that's probably what one should be concerned about... of course, if there's one thing that we should all take for granted - it's that anything She-Hulk related will upset someone... Lyra - the daughter of Hulk and Thundra from an alternate time line ... yeah, long story - did not sit well with many and when she was named the Savage She-Hulk... well.


AND, as we're talking about comic book heroines - the Powergirl solo title is quite fun. Plenty of cheesecake... and there's action and a plot. Nice art... if you like Powergirl... it's super. Quite HOW she got the money to run her own corporation is beyond me...

Kind of a good period for the well built female in comics. We've had the appearance of Ultimate She-Hulk - even if I doubt Guybrush Threepwood could hold his breath long enough for when she next appears - and the appearance of Lyra, another big green She-Hulk and of course, Powergirl getting her solo title and the Red She-Hulk. So, exciting stuff.
