Hmmm, what does this teaser image just released by Marvel called "X-Men: First To Last" mean?
Does it imply that the current X-Men team might be "the last?" Or is it just another good ol' X-Men vs. X-Men slugfest? I guess we find out in May 2011!

Whether you're a fan of the Hulk from the comics, the movies, the cartoons, the videogames, or a little ol' TV show starring Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno (which is where I jumped on), you should be aware that big things are happening to the not-so-jolly green giant in 2011 -- and to his crimson-hued counterpart Red Hulk, as well. Here at MTV Geek we decided to mix things up and focus on what's up in Red Hulk's world, and celebrate his unique brand of badassery. "Hulk" writer Jeff Parker gives us the scoop!
MTV Geek: For the benefit of the Hulk fans out there who might not be following the current comic book continuity: Who is Red Hulk? And how is he different than your regular garden-variety Green Hulk?
Jeff Parker: The Red Hulk is the adversary of the Hulk who was there from the beginning, General Thunderbolt Ross. To collapse a lot of continuity into a short bite that actually gets at the heart of the situation, he finally stood so close to the flame for so long he caught fire too. He let criminal geniuses make him into the thing he hated, Hulk.
Our series is now showing exactly how he's different than the Hulk everyone grew up with. It's best told with watching him go into the same situations Hulk did, and how he responds differently. Often more tactical, certainly from the POV of a person who can keep from being governed by rage unlike Hulk- and unlike his human self.
Oh, and he's red.
Geek: General “Thunderbolt” Ross is a complex character. What makes him tick? Would Read More...

He-Man has always been a force for good, with the best of intentions and moral standards. This isn’t a review for He-man, though; well, not exactly. Today, we here at MTV Geek are bringing you a review of Vikor, the next Masters of the Universe Classics figure to be released by Mattel on their Matty Collector website. While Prince Adam takes the time to instruct kids on not talking to strangers, Vikor (He-man of the North) spent his days crushing his enemies, seeing them driven before him, and hearing the lamentations of their women! Wait, wrong barbarian… sorta. We’ll get into that later. For now, let’s check out Vikor, who is such an f’n tough guy that it was a battle to even free him from his packaging! Here’s his bio, courtesy of that prison-like blister card:
