I bet Dracula secretly conspired with Mr Oz to put his extremely dangerous gas into the sewers to harm Superman.

All jokes aside if it turns out Superman got really injured from that explosion it would be silly.

Eternal Warrior:

Marvel needs to take a page from Valiant on how to write a great battle. 👆

Meh, Jurgens doesn't treats top tiers in terms of collateral damage capabilities.

It's just for a click bait cliffhanger.

I don't think we can tell whether Superman got KO'd or not. We don't see him. I bet he will in the next comic bulldoze Doomsday just before he manages to kill Clark. [/B]

Seems like Wonder Woman is stepping in.

Eh, a gas line would produce far more destruction than a gas station, but still, I'm sure he's fine.

Still not a great comic though.

I agree.

Still, though... A f*cking gas explosion? Srsly? That shit was stupid 20 years ago...

Also why is machine man back in his Nextwave persona?

Your know what they say about gas lines- Magic and Kryptonite want to be gas lines when they grow up.

I know.

Jurgens isn't that imaginative.

That's old though. Classics were terrible. Don't think Hulk has been affected by something like that in yrs. The guy has been withstanding nukes lately.

As he should and others in his tier

There is no consistency in comics and depends on the writer at the moment they put pen to paper...or in bendis case, crayons

Agreed. Beings in this tier should not feel gas explosions. Especially with the power increase that has been going on for the longest. Withstanding punches from elites shouldn't change this either. Who knows, Superman might be OK after the explosion but if not...

I wonder why Superman hasn't ripped Doomsday in half yet? 😱

Classic Hulk is the best hulk.

Minus Pak Hulk, I agree. He isn't the most powerful Hulk though, not even close. Classic Hulk showings were all over the place. Current Hulk seems more consistent imo. He does have low showings though (not gasblowing up worthy but they are there). Don't stress ABHI, I'm sure Superman is ok.

Okay, I'm looking at the latest Marvel previews book. A couple of intriguing sights:

- In Avengers #1 (yes, another #1) someone is wearing the Ronin costume and appears to have claws.
- In UA, it looks like the team is moving on without Cap.
- The Ultimates line up continues in tact in Ultimates 2 #1.
- Squadron Supreme #13 Is called "Finding Namor." 😖
- I hate Bendis and his Mary Sue assault, but I have to give props to Dekal for nailing the most perfect illustration of a black female in comics history with his pic of RiRi Williams. Still, **** Bendis.
- Storm, Cage and Misty Knight grace the cover of Black Panther #7.
- Jessica Jones looking like old school Alias.
- Doc Strange is apparently gathering the past sorcerer supreme!
- Thor #15 marks the Asgard/Shai'ar War. 50/50 it sucks. Odinson and Lady Thor on the cover.
-Totally Awesome Hulk has a host of Asian character including what appears to be Jimmy Wood, Silk and Shang Chi. Pretty cool pic.
- The Punisher title looks brutal with him walking into the woods with a bloody ax and someone hanging from a tree.
- And finally, Gamora has a title. Not just a title, but return of the moniker "Deadliest Woman in the Galaxy"! They softened her the same way they've soften Thor. I hope she's back for real.

They need to official list gas line explosions as a third weakness.

Oh hell no, you don't get to blame the writer. Put on defense, counselor! I want to hear you say it was a surprise attack.

I vote for gass explosions to be classified as herald level.
