    Because it's friggin lame, that's why. if they were gonna go this route, why not just reacquire the Transformers license? And they blatantly admit that it's just a toy line tie-in.

    And... WHY IN GOD'S NAME GIVE THE HULK A GIANT MECH?!?!?! DON'T HE WRECK ENOUGH STUFF WITHOUT ONE?!!?

    I'll be getting it. McKeever hasn't disappointed me yet. Sentinel and Gravity are both solid books. This just looks cool. however I have no idea how you can get both Ghost Rider and Hulk not only to pilot giant robos but also pilot giant robots on a team!

    Maybe its smart Hulk or perhaps its Banner/Hulk ala Bruce Jones.

    I'm so gonna buy that. It's outright surreal and absurd...with superheroes and giant transforming robots.

    I mean, setting aside any pretenses of continuity or mature storytelling (or not having read a Marvel book for years, like me), it looks like it'll be crazyfun.

    I'd pick it up, McKeever is a awesome writer. Plus, the designs don't look half that bad at all.

    Ghost Rider looks great... Capt. America's head looks like a combo of Jazz and Prime's head...

    Oh noes! They made a story that differs from the standard Marvel convention and adds giant robots! It's the end of everything as we know it!!!

    What I find most absurd isn't the giant transforming robots, it's that at the end of Disassembled, Stark didn't even have enough money to keep funding the avengers or rebuild the mansion... but here he is with a high-tech weapons factory churning out giant transforming robots for all his super-human buds.

    ... having said that, this is an amazing idea and I'll be picking it up.

    I would imagine this is a standalone promotional tool, nothing else.

    YOU RUINED THE MARVELVERSE YOU GOONS!
