   ‘Sall good.

2. 2 Zak said at 10:35 pm on July 16th, 2008:

   I’d think it would be because of the ass crack. Maybe not though.

   I mean, they’re not THAT closely related, right?

3. 3 Chawunky said at 10:48 pm on July 16th, 2008:

   There’s also the whole implied “Hey guys. C’mere. No, c’mere–look at that, wouldja? My cousin is fine!”

   Boundaries, Hulk.

   Isn’t cousin fuckin’ not technically incest?

   I mean, that doesn’t make it right or anything, but the answer to your quiz would have to be the last one by default.

   I think whether cousin fucking is technically incest or not depends on how close a cousin you’re talking, which country or state you’re in and what century you’re in but Jesus Christ, if Marvel made Cho put a towel on Mary Jane’s ass and side-boob last time, why would he think they’d be cool with She-Hulk’s ass and side-boob PLUS Hulk saying they’re “Kissing Cousins”?

6. 6 Kevin Huxford said at 12:01 am on July 17th, 2008:

   I’m with Billy. Technically, since it is taboo and illegal for first cousins to marry, I think incest does include cousins.

   Chawunky might have a point, too.

   But, most importantly, I’d have thought Marvel would have put a stop to the Paul Jenkins story where a savage Hulk tried to mate with She-Hulk during his run if they’d have such a problem with a charity cover that might kinda/sorta imply the desire for sexual healing.

   Oh Kevin. You should’ve come to me. I’d warn you about posting about cousin-fucking and the people it brings out of the woodwork.

   Rich Johnston did seem genuinely confused.

9. 9 Earl Allison said at 5:50 am on July 17th, 2008:

   I’d be more likely to get behind that argument, but for the “Old Man Logan” story which takes this to the next level, with inbred Hulk hillbilies (and Kevin’s point is a good one as well) … maybe Marvel should pick a position (no pun intended) and stay with it?

   Still, shouldn’t there be an “All of the above” option

   Take it and run.

    Maybe it’s an accumulation of the various sexually suggestive elements of the image, and other things?

    I’m not reading Marvel output at the moment, but I’ve noticed that they sometimes have contradictory approaches to what certain of their properties can and can’t be seen doing, or saying. And I know the Max books are pretty much no-holds-barred swear-fests, but are the mainstream characters generally allowed to swear outside of that arena?

    Because the one thing I haven’t heard anyone mention yet, perhaps because it’s ridiculous, is that he’s effectively got She-Hulk saying “What the fuck?”. “WTF” has become a pretty common phrase in and of itself, but basically, it doesn’t tend to mean anything else. In the same way that it’s unlikely that Spidey would call Tony Stark an MF on page.

    Maybe, between the suggested nudity, the suggested incest, and the suggested swearing, it just became too difficult to unpack the corporate discomfort with the whole thing?

11. 11 Frowny McBeard said at 1:20 pm on July 17th, 2008:

    They killed Cho’s bare-ass Scarlet Witch Ultimates 3 cover, replacing it with one that lets you know she waxes. . . so it’s not like they’d even need the incest as an excuse.

12. 12 J said at 1:52 pm on July 17th, 2008:

    As disappointed as I am that one of the industry’s “stars” is so lacking in class, I have to begrudgingly admire his business sense. This image is going to get a lot of “media” attention and Cho is going to be able to sell it for MUCH more to one of his admirers.

13. 13 Ken Lowery said at 2:09 pm on July 17th, 2008:

    Guys.

    It is a cover image heavily implying that the Hulks fuck each other.

    Please save the dissertations for something far less disturbing.

14. 14 Juan Arteaga said at 5:12 pm on July 17th, 2008:

    It’s pretty clear to me Hulk wants to put his thumb inside She-Hulk’s anus, and that shit is wrong, man!

    The first cousin thing is a peculiarly American taboo, apparently.

    I’ve never felt more patriotic in my life.

    I’m informing the aunts and uncles of everyone in this thread.

    What the fuck, fanboys.

18. 18 Rock Ripsnort said at 9:09 pm on July 20th, 2008:

    “Kissin’ cousins” are NOT first cousins, and the incest taboo doesn’t fall as heavily on them. Still kinda icky, though.
