Ο Hulk ήταν η νέα μεγάλη απώλεια στο Civil War II

[dropcap size=dropcap]Η[/dropcap] Marvel Comics μόλις κυκλοφόρησε το τεύχος #3 του Civil War II (από Brian Michael Bendis και David Marquez) και μετά τον θάνατο του War Machine, έρχεται ακόμα ένα σοκαριστικό γεγονός μέσα από την κόντρα του Iron Man και της Captain Marvel. Hulk

O αγαπητός πράσινος γίγαντας, βγαλμένος από τα σωθηκά του Bruce Banner, πέφτει νεκρός από τον Hawkeye. Μετά από το σοκαριστικό αυτό γεγονός, η Marvel ανακοίνωσε πως θα κυκλοφορήσει δυο τεύχη που θα εξερευνά το θάνατο του Hulk από διαφορετικές οπτικές γωνίες.

Το  Civil War II: The Accused από τον Marc Guggenheim στην ιστορία και τους Garry Brown και Raymon Backs στο σχέδιο, θα ρίχνει φως στη δίκη του Clint Barton (Hawkeye) με δικαστή τον Daredevil (Matt Murdock), αφού μια δίκη για φόνο σούπερ ήρωα, θέλει σουπερηρωικές προεκτάσεις.

Επίσης θα κυκλοφορήσει το Civil War II: The Fallen από τον χρόνια-γραφιά σε ιστορίες Hulk, Greg Pak με σχέδια από τον Mark Bagley. H ιστορία θα είναι γύρω από την κηδεία του Bruce Banner που δεν θα έχει το κόσμο που είχε η αντίστοιχη του War Machine. Εκτός από την οικογένεια του Huklk family τον Iron Man και την Captain Marvel που πενθούν, ένα μεγάλου γκρουπ διαμαρτυρώμενων θα είναι έξω από το νεκροταφείο για να θυμήσουν σε όλους, τα πολλά θύματα του Hulk.

Eνδιαφέρουσα είναι η συνένευξη του Greg Pak στο comicbook.com για την εξέλιξη αυτής της ιστορίας.

What can you tell me about the superhero community’s reaction to Bruce Banner’s death? How does it differ from the population at large? Is the reaction from Bruce’s Avengers family different from that of his friends in the Defenders, or the other Hulks (Thunderbolt and Betty Ross, Rick Jones, Amadeus Cho, etc.)?

Greg Pak: Many, many people in the Marvel Universe — mostly folks who never knew Banner personally — see the Hulk as a terrifying force of destruction and will welcome or even celebrate Banner’s death. On the other end of the spectrum, many of those who knew him best think of Banner as a straight up hero who bore a horrifying curse better than anyone else could have and who time and time again saved the lives of hundreds and thousands of innocents. And then there are all of the heart-breaking and conflicting emotions in between, as some who deeply loved Banner may struggle with both grief and a terrible, unwelcome sense of relief. And of course, his fellow Hulks may plunge straight from grief and denial into anger, with potentially catastrophic results. The Fallen will dig deep into all of the different ways Banner’s different family members will grapple with these emotions and hint at where it might all lead over the next few months.

A death can bring a family together, or it can tear a family apart. How does this affect the Hulk family as a unit? Are coming together as a unit, or have they lost the glue that keeps them together? Or is it something even more destructive, given their shared nature?

GP: Those are the key questions, aren’t they? The Hulk family — including Amadeus, Rick, Jen, Skaar, Betty, Ross, and the Warbound — are the folks who knew Banner the best — and each will respond to his death in his or her own way. And yes, they’re a family, so we’ll see them grapple with all of this together, for better or for worse.

What can you say about Bruce Banner’s will and the mindset he was in when he created it? It’s never been entirely clear if the Hulk is even mortal (and there are stories that suggest the opposite), so acknowledging his own mortality must have been an interesting experience.

GP: Banner’s spent much of his adult life desperately trying to account for every possibility in hopes of mitigating the danger that his anger creates. And he’s deeply aware of and tormented by the effect the Hulk has had on the people he loves. So it made a huge amount of sense to me that he’d have put a lot of thought into preparing for the possibility of his death. And the more I’ve written Banner over the past ten years, the more I think of him as driven by love more than anything else. He’s cursed with terrible anger. But he’s driven by love for his family. You’ll absolutely see that come out in the very specific details of his will.

And I’ll just say it — Banner’s my favorite Marvel legacy character of all time. So this story means a lot to me. I’m hugely excited that Mark Bagley’s drawing it — he’s bringing out all the subtle emotion these pages and panels. This is a huge, emotional book and these are all characters I’ve loved writing for over a decade now, so I hope it resonates with y’all.

Without giving away too much, what can you say about what Bruce is passing on to his friends, how he chose to divide what is in the will, and how the recipients react to it all?

GP: This is the heart of this story, and we’ll explore how each member of the Hulk family reacts to Banner’s death and the will. Banner’s thought this through deeply and tried to use this moment as a way to reach out, comfort, help and guide in different ways for different members of his family. We’ll see if that works.

How do Bruce’s death and Hawkeye’s trial affect the larger conflict between Captain Marvel and Iron Man?

GP: I can’t say too much for fear of spoilers, and the Tony/Carol conflict will be explored most deeply in Brian Bendis’s books. But Tony’s always been one of the heroes closest to Banner and he’s got some key moments in THE FALLEN. And Carol plays a huge role in Totally Awesome Hulk #9. So please do keep on reading!
