Ultimate Wolverine vs Hulk - First Impressions
February 28, 2006
I’m now two issue into the six issue limited series, Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk. Damon Lindelof, co-creator of the hit TV series Lost is writing this. I haven’t been watching Lost, but
Initially I picked this up because it takes place in the Ultimate Universe, which hasn’t let me down yet. It was the opening sequence of the first issue that really grabbed me. On page 3, Hulk rips Wolverine in half! Yes, Logan has an adamantium skeleton, but that says nothing about the joints in that skeleton. Hulk then throws Wolverine’s legs up on top the nearest mountaintop.
The story then jumps back and gives the back story Wolverine gets himself in this situation. Apparently after a failed state sanctioned death penalty using a nuclear bomb on Hulk. Somehow he survived this and now Logan has been sent to finish him off.
Issue #2 gives similar back story on how Hulk survived and what Banner has been doing in the meantime. This issue moves a lot slower and doesn’t actually step the story forward at all. However, it is important to understand both Hulk and Wolverine’s motivations going into this massive battle.
After these two, the next four are setup for the battle royal first implied in the opening sequences of the first issue. I personally can’t wait. Let’s hope Lindelof doesn’t treat this like Lost and continue dragging it out. Bring on the battle!

[…] Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk […]
i love alisha
Dude,lol, that’s so dum. I hate it when people don’t know what they are talking about. His joints, vertabrae, everything, im pretty sure are in fact coated with adamantium. They just have joints themselves, like they refashion the joint in adamantium. And even if it is thin pieces, it is still unbreakable.
This story sounds dum. Hulk is like 1000000000000 times stronger then wolverine, also with a healing factor just as good. Hulk couldn’t kill wolverine, but he sure as hell could beat his ass around forever. And there’s no way in hell wolverine could ever kill hulk.
But Hulk certainly couldnt rip wolverine in half. Never…
Dude, think about what you just said…if it was ALL connected by adamantium, then there’d be NO movement…because there’d be no separation…he’d be a statue. The joints are not all bone, there is cartilege between the muscle so you have JOINTS that move…articulation points. So yep, you COULD rip his joints apart because you’d just be tearing the cartilege between the adamantium covered bones. The only thing disappointing about it is that nobody has done it to him already.
Hmmmm i do think that hulk would be able to rip him in half, if he can break a tank with ease then he should be able to rip lil’ logan but wtf is he wearing i dont remember seeing those shorts anywhere. new hulk film soon whoop ;D
