If money spoke then it would probably laugh at you.WWH are just examples of money that make Marvel money in the short-term and then end up hurting them in the long run.

Cause it makes it harder to make money later on, obviously.
They don't need to make money one month. They need to make money the next 20 years.
They didn't pull in new readers, nor did they up their sales, because other books suffered when WWH was out. So they killed a few ongoing titles by directing the reader-flow to a temporary title.
The more concise, more varied and arguably easier accessible titles died (Such as MI6 and Immortal Iron Fist) and it only led into more failed WWH-ventures. The follow-ups made little money and added only more nonsense to an already convoluted universe.
Discouraging new readers. And to add onto that WWH was butchered by a lot of critics turning away even more new readers.
Kang Earth, or Dynasty as it's actually called helped revitalize Avengers in the early 2000s. It brought some sales to a book that needed it , was written by a competent writer (Kurt Busiek) and went down as a classic.

WW Hulk is a classic. You're acting like your opinion is a fact. It's subjective but guess what isn't. Money. WW Hulk did it's job. Great read and it made money. Make mine marvel.

Pulling readers away from other Marvel titles is not making money.
It's moving money around.
It didn't earn them new readers. It moved readers away from ongoing titles to short-lived ones.
How is that making money?

The words "WW Hulk is a classic" void everything you ever say about comics again.
You should sit alone in shame until you realize what you've said.

He's also been shown to be their equals as well. Hulk going all out doesn't feel top tier punches. Superman has been downed before by characters weaker than himself while going all out. You acknowledged what i said to be true. You said you basically hate it. Tell me what I made up.That's your opinion which is a bit off. You're a Kang fan for crying out loud.
The **** he has.
Honestly Quan, quit while you're barely ahead.

On topic - an angry, borderline retarded Superman restricted to h2h only vs one of the deadliest Hulk's ever? Hmmm tough choice...
