I Think We’re Alone Now: A Year of Hulk Confusion – Week 18
The Hulk is usually full of questions – but none seem more important, more crucial, to the essence of the Hulk then Why? Why is the army always attacking the Hulk? Why won’t they leave him alone? It’s like peanut butter and chocolate. The two were made for each other.

Let’s Kick Some Ice: A Year of Hulk Confusion – Week 19
The Hulk usually isn’t aware of why his foes attack him – all he does know is that he will not be beaten. That’s always been the charm of the classic, savage Hulk – his child-like innocence even when he’s at his most destructive and angry.

The Question: A Year of Hulk Confusion – Week 20
Truly, this is one of the hardest questions to answer! Why? Why is alright for people to attack the Hulk but when the tables are turned it’s suddenly not? The Hulk has said many times over that all he wants is to be left alone. When people attack him they seem to think they are in the right – but the Hulk fights back and he’s the menace! How does that make any sense! I’m on your side, Hulk!

In Space No One Can Hear You Scream: A Year of Hulk Confusion – Week 21
I like how Hulk never questions why he’s battling a gigantic robot in space or how he got himself into said situation – instead the fact that he can’t hear himself speak is what is most puzzling to him.

Why Can’t We Be Friends?: A Year of Hulk Confusion – Week 22
We’re faced with yet another scene where the Hulk is being attacked by who he thought he were his friends and the Hulk is unaware why. They could have – or should have titled his series “The Ever Curious Hulk” or even “The Confused as Hell Hulk”. Either would fit, really! This is one of the constant cases where the newly formed Avengers are attacking the Hulk in his extremely brief stint appearing in the title.

Coming to your Senses: A Year of Hulk Confusion – Week 23
Ever find yourself apologizing and thinking to yourself “Why am I apologizing?” The Hulk is not known for him apologizing so if it were me in this situation I would have taken the “sorry” and run with it – but damnit, he keeps on yelling and lets the Hulk realizes that he’s the Hulk.

Who Are You?: A Year of Hulk Confusion – Week 24
Meeting a foe for the very first time must be hard! You can never take the first battle as definitive as both characters are just learning what the other can do! What powers each one has and how they use them. That being said, the Hulk certainly has trouble the first time he meets up with X-23. Wolvie’s female clone has tricks up her sleeve that the jade giant has yet to deal with… but he gets a crash course when he comes looking for Xavier. All the mutants band together to protect the telepath whose only real enemy… is a flight of stairs.

Silent but Deadly: A Year of Hulk Confusion – Week 25
I’ve said it for years now – the most powerful person in the MU is the Invisible Woman. With her ability to create airtight force fields there really is no Earth bound hero who could take her on. One force field later and you have a mighty, muscle-bound super just gasping for air! Well turns out she ain’t the only one who can make that trick work! Songbird, of the Thunderbolts, can make her sonic scream turn into “hard sound”. Whatever that means. It takes the Hulk by surprise – as well as most of the readers!

The Weight of the World: A Year of Hulk Confusion – Week 26
Sometimes being left alone isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. The Hulk might not want others around but then you’re just left alone with your thoughts. When you’re as monosyllabic as the Savage Hulk and things don’t make sense it can only make you confused and… as he puts it… sadder and sadder. Maybe it’s time for the Hulk to remember it’s not about being left alone – it’s about surrounding yourself with the right people!

Jokes on You!: A Year of Hulk Confusion: Week 27
Not sure that was the best comeback – but Hulk has never been known as the smart one… unless you consider the merged Hulk.

Who Are You? A Year of Hulk Confusion: Week 28
That time that you were looking for your greatest foe and couldn’t find them because they are you. Reminds me of the skinnier version of me that fat Ratchet is always looking for. He’s in there somewhere! Show yourself more fit Ratchet!

Keep a Travel Log: A Year of Hulk Confusion – Week 29
Even when the heroes act less than heroic they still blame everything on the Hulk. I was waiting for the “Why did you make us send you through space to another planet?” argument. I never felt as though Marvel sufficiently explored the idea that the heroes betrayed one of their own. It should have been addressed more like this:

Before Previews Marvel released a “Year Book” sort of speak. They had a Year in Review. I found this gem at Rubber Chicken Comics and had to share what exactly happened. Turned out it was a pretty devastating year:
The Hulk was also in The Secret Defenders though – so we can’t let that go to waste!

Got Something in Your Eye?: A Year of Hulk Confusion – Week 31
I showed this before with Spidey and the Hulk fighting where Peter Parker decides to unload a dose of web fluid into Hulk’s eyes. While the Hulk has no idea what just happened and what to do about it – it’s the wording that really kills it for me:

Hulk Smash?: A Year’s Worth of Hulk Confusion – Week 32
Mind Control sucks – especially when you’re aware of the fact that your mind is being controlled! Especially when, like the Hulk here, all you want to do is SMASH!

And You Say He’s Just a Friend: A Year’s Worth of Hulk Confusion: Week 33
You know how when you were in school and that one kid suddenly calls to you but you have no idea who he is but since he knows you you think you and he MUST be friends so you just go along and with it and wave to him frantically only to realize that he was talking to the person behind you and you now pretend to be waving to someone behind him – except there is no one behind him.
No? Just me?

Can’t Touch This!: A Year’s Worth of Hulk Confusion: Week 34
I wish force fields were real. I would love to be able to protect things that I would not anyone else to touch! Like my iPod from 2003. It still works! Only I can keep it going! Don’t touch it neighbor kid who once tricked me into eating a praying mantis! And stop calling it vintage! Vintage things are plaid – and usually have somewhere to hang a sweet looking hat!
