SDCC’11: Cable Reborn

If you were still trying to figure out Marvel’s cryptic teaser image, you don’t have to burn anymore brain cells as it’s been announced that Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness are bringing Cable back in Cable Reborn.

Marvel’s EIC Axel Alonso believes that Cable will be one of “breakout” Marvel characters of 2012, and Loeb is just happy to be back doing one of the characters that worked on when he first came to Marvel, back in the day (the early 1990s) when comics were still “on paper,” as he jokingly put it.

You’re going to have to wait a little longer than the above paragraph lets on, as Cable Reborn is expected to arrive in December 2012.

Ed McGuinness returns to Hulk

Marvel has announced artist Ed McGuinness will return to the Hulk title beginning with issue #30.

“Thanks to his amazing run with Jeph Loeb, Ed’s become THE definitive Hulk artist of our time,” said Senior Editor Mark Paniccia. “HULK #30 is pure McGuinness madness, introducing new characters that are bound to be instant classics, and some Hulk villains that fans have been frothing for. All this and the Impossible Man, too.”

According to the company, the issue will find Red Hulk and Green Hulk teaming up to put an end to something bad.  In the press release, Marvel said “The Earth will shake as the COMPOUND HULK makes its shocking debut!”  And by Compound Hulk, I hope they mean in the team-up sense, and not really the merging of the two brutes.

Take the jump to see a sneak peek that Marvel sent our way.

Kotobukiya shows off the Red Hulk

Rulk is getting the Kotobukiya statue treatment in July 2010 with a 13-inch, 1/6th scale beatuty that shows off Ed McGuinness’ art style in three dimensions.

Sculpted by master artist Eric Sosa, Red Hulk stands almost 13 inches tall (1/6th scale), veritably leaping off of his exclusive “georama” base.  Not only does the volcanic earth look great on its own, it will connect to the base on the upcoming Hulk to form a dynamic battle scene!

The statue will only set you back $199.
