Whoa! Watching the Watcher getting punched in the face takes my breath away.The reason I think this picture is so cool, is because my perception of the Watcher is changed, possibly forever.
Whenever I see the Watcher in a comic book, I think of him as a god, He watches what happens on earth compiling all knowledge, but is never allowed to interfere. He knows almost everything there is to know, he has to dumb down to talk to Reed Richards. and if he were to tell people what he knows, the planet would essentially blow up.
He is basically the perfect nerd, and I always felt he was also untouchable. Hulk on the other hand is all brawn, even though this is the red Hulk, whom is seemingly smarter then the green Hulk, but compared to the Watcher they are both just as dumb. So I digress, this picture depicts the universe’s biggest nerd getting punched in the face by the world’s strongest bully, whom is also telling him to shut the fuck up, I love it.
On top of the fact that the picture is of something cool, it is drawn by one of my favorite artists Ed Mcguinness. I think this steals my top spot for my favorite Hulk picture, which was previously this: By Ryan Ottley
Which is still really awesome.
(SIDENOTE: The picture of Red Hulk punching the Watcher in the face is from the upcoming fourth issue of Jeph Loeb and Ed Mcguiness’ run on Hulk. Just FYI)
