In January 2008 Marvel launched a new Hulk title, written by Jeph Loeb and drawn by Ed McGuinness. It features the debut of a new, Red Hulk, created by long-time supporting cast members of the title character, to combat, neutralize and ultimately destroy the uncontrollable Hulk. The Red Hulk is absolutely uninhibited and tactically intelligent, the anti-thesis of the Hulk. In trying to make sense of why is there a Red Hulk and all those other Hulk family members (I think writer Jeph Loeb is taking his sweet time to weave the various layers of the storylines together to their promised potential, or to flesh out whatever it is he has in mind since he places so much emphasis on extended slam-bang action sequences but I won't say it--uh-oh!), I collected the complete Hulk (Vol. 2 in library terms; Vol. 1 ran from April 1999–February 2000 for eleven issues) up to the present--and latest--issue, together with all the one-shots I could get my hands on. I think what I have is complete, but if not, please let me know. With the exception of issues #4-6 (which are themselves excellent Green Giant scans), all are Minutemen scans.

Although notable for the Attic purity and elegance of his Greek and his literary versatility, Lucian is chiefly famed for the lively, cynical wit of the humorous dialogues in which he satirises human folly, superstition and hypocrisy. His aim was to amuse rather than to instruct. Among his best works are A True Story (the tallest of tall stories about a voyage to the moon), Dialogues of the Gods (a 'reductio ad absurdum' of traditional mythology), Dialogues of the Dead (on the vanity of human wishes), Philosophies for Sale (great philosophers of the past are auctioned off as slaves), The Fisherman (the degeneracy of modern philosophers), The Carousal or Symposium (philosophers misbehave at a party), Timon (the problems of being rich), Twice Accused (Lucian's defence of his literary career) and (if by Lucian) The Ass (the amusing adventures of a man who is turned into an ass).
The Loeb Classical Library edition of Lucian is in eight volumes.
