World's End

The Incredible Hulk #117

Flawed, but fun.

The Hulk's final confrontation with the Leader! But will Hulk's efforts be enough to avert WWIII?

Flaws: The Leader can suddenly teleport the Hulk away? Easily? We are told that Ol’ Greenskin has been sent to a “far-off place” but he returns easily/rapidly.  He also causes a missile to change direction in mid-air. Um. How? Then, at the very end, when he falls off the missile Banner lands in the sea near the missile base. There are two obvious problems here. First, was the missile directly above the base the whole time? Second, since when is the Los Diablos Missile Base beside the sea?

Fun: The battle with the Super-Humanoid is fantastic. Particularly the ending, which is very cool. It’s good to see Betty saving the day again. She has the idea to convince the Hulk to change back to Banner. For some reason, he does it. Finally, the art is really great in this one.

As Howie Carr wrote two years ago this month: Mary Jo Kopechne would have turned 80 in 2020. Of course, Mary Jo didn’t even make it to 29 – she died on July 18, 1969, when Sen. Ted Kennedy drunkenly drove his mother’s 1967 Oldsmobile Delmont off a small bridge into a tidal pond on Chappaquiddick on Martha’s Vineyard. Teddy, drunk and with an expired driver’s license, swam to safety and didn’t bother to even report the death (by suffocation, not drowning) for 10 hours. By then he’d already made more than a dozen long-distance phone calls off the island, including one to another of his girlfriends in Palm Beach. He’d also enjoyed a leisurely breakfast at the Shiretown Inn in Edgartown. Later, when Teddy finally sat down in the Edgartown police chief’s office, shakily filling out the incident report, he left a blank space next to the words “Mary Jo” – he didn’t even know her last name.

17 July 1969

On this day, Ringo Starr blows bubbles into a glass of water.

As far as I know, this is a first and last for a major recording artist, at least on tape (on purpose), and I don't see any point in checking that.

"The Apollo 11 Saturn V (CSM-107/LM-5/SA-506) climbs toward orbit after liftoff from Pad 39A at 9:32 a.m. EDT on July 16, 1969. In 2 1/2 minutes of powered flight, the S-IC booster lifts the vehicle to an altitude of about 39 miles some 55 miles downrange. This photo was taken with a 70mm telescopic camera mounted in an Air Force EC-135N plane. Onboard are astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr."
