I have to agree with John and almost replied with Romita inking, because the Hulk is a little "soft" for straight Herb Trimpe, but I wasn't sure it was Romita.

I have seen the image before and perhaps even in both before and after Romita, but so long ago. It might have been redrawn for advertisement or other promotional work.

Look at the character options at Marvel.com:

After a search for X-Men in their shop I noted the only Wolverine merchandise they had was a sad looking Wolverine Mr. Potato Head.

Un-f**cking believable. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your own face.

I understand that Marvel despises the fact that Fox Studios owns the film rights to the X-Men and FF, but to just go ahead and essentially dump those characters into the proverbial trash bin...?

Unreal.

Not that I wasn't fully in agreement with those that
felt Wolverine was BEYOND over-exposed, but the mind
boggles at Disney/Marvel refusing to acknowledge his (or
the rest of the mutant family's, but most especially
Wolverine's) existence. I know that Disney is a giant,
bottomless well of money, but that's a good chunk of
change they're passing up on.

Difficult to know what to think about this. I wonder if the decisions are coming from high up in Disney, or originate from within the Marvel part of the company? Are they playing the long game to try and bring back these important properties in house cinematically or just being acrimonious pricks?

I definitely feel Fox is not the right place for the FF films, but it's sad to Marvel first family frozen out in this way.

I'm just curious how well Deadpool sells in comparison to the other
Marvel properties (and there's a lot of Deadpool merchandise) that
Marvel continues to promote him despite their issues with Fox.
