Incredible Hulk Movie partly Kochalka-powered?!

So I saw the Incredible Hulk yesterday, and there's a scene that must be, I swear, inspired by James' "Hulk vs. the Rain" short story.

Can't tell you happy it made me as that scene started unfolding (although it would make me happier if James was getting some of that sweet Marvel blockbuster cash as well Smile

).

Jason Lutes wrote an essay about how the previous HULK movie seemed to be inspired by my Hulk story as well:

Could my little four page story be one of the most influential Hulk comics of all time?

First thing I thought of when I saw that scene, too.

The movie was pretty good.

Yeah, kind of weird that someone named a book the same as this forum, Wink

At least they're right about one thing; Talk About Comics does make life better! Laughing
