"Dear Chris, Everyone is going nuts debating about this standoff between the Hulk and Juggernaut. I need to know the truth, did the Hulk physically stop the Juggernauts mystical movement or was he being slowly pushed back??? BTW, great job on this series I'm sure everyone who read it enjoyed it!
Chris Gage:
"Thanks! Glad you liked it.
Hulk stopped him for a moment...whether he could have stopped him for long, I don't know. More likely the ground would have caved in first, which is why Prof X yelled at him to stop. Hey, I'm not gonna take sides here!
Gender: Male Location: Hiding from The Doctor, shhhh.....
In any case, War Hulk stopping Juggernaut is not a feat for Hulk or one he can replicate. It's a feat for Apocalypse and his celestial technology that enhanced Hulk.

This is what he said: "Hulk stopped him for a moment...whether he could have stopped him for long, I don't know. More likely the ground would have caved in first, which is why Prof X yelled at him to stop. "
Maybe he ment that Hulk slowed him down and was holding him well. But the art nor the story support that claim. The post looks made up. It doesn't even look official. In fact you can post anything and claim anything you want on that site.

Even if he did pause him, (Which there is 0 indication in the art where that happened), Juggernaut would still have to overpower hulk to get moving again, and there is a clear indication of where that happened as you can look at the scan and see where Hulks foot begins to slide back.
Either way, if Gage really did say that, it sounds more look a cop out of an answer then a set in stone view of what happened. It sounds like He is trying to please to Hulk fans who are reading his book which is why to me, his answer sounds very vague and misleading.
no he didn't. the fact is Hulk +stopped+ juggernaut. the statement about "whether he could do so for long" was merely a sop to keep this interesting issue 'open'. nothing more.
it would be stupid to suggest that Hulk could lack for stamina or for power, considering that he had already enough to STOP juggernaut.
the scans clearly showed Hulk letting juggernaut's momentum build up, before he suckered juggernaut into a bfr.
if Hulk had intended to, juggernaut would have been stopped there for all eternity - as Hulk would just continue to draw upon infinite amounts of power to make himself stronger, and in his calm - calculating state - not even requiring that he goes 'mad'/savage.
moreover, the ground giving way is very reminiscent of what happened when juggernaut was +stopped+ by the GodForce.
so, now we got that cleared up .

if Hulk had intended to, juggernaut would have been stopped there for as long as Hulk wants, because Hulk would never want for the power to do this.
think of it, if Hulk at t-0 has enough power to stop the juggernaut, then Hulk at t-1 will only be exponentially stronger, if he's still in battle with juggernaut.
but Hulk never had any intention to use lethal force against any of the X-men, hell he wasn't even willing to kill Xavier, satisfied that Xavier was suffering a personal hell of his own.
Hulk steamrollered through the X-men with his 'safety-on', and that includes his interactions with juggernaut. so I think that again reinforces the point that a focused Hulk would quite simply >> juggernaut pretty much all the time.
