I'd imagine editorial wanted to distance him from AF due to it's arguable failure and focus on him solely as an X-Man for marketing reasons.
All purely devils advocate hypothetical.

I wouldn't say it's all about the marketing.
If a product is bad enough no amount of marketing will help it.

Everytime anyone agrees with me they're really surprised by it!
I'm not a complete tyrant; I just have business-mode wired into me :p

And yeah, I definitely agree; sales do not equal good.

Me and you both, buddy.

But are a lot of people?
Sales show that the majority of fans want these same faces.

Take Avengers pre-Wolverine & Spider-Man joining it and sales then to sales when they joined/now.

Booyah!

Way's work has been pretty solid in my opinion (forgetting the Hudson family tree part...) so I may pick this up to appease my...

I've heard that Red Hulk's gonna lead the new Thunderbolts team/title...

Let's not forget that Rick Jones is using the term, he's not exactly the smartest.

The cheese Sasquatch is ten dollars because it's a variant.

No no, I just don't want to start another argument because my analysis differs to someone elses.

I thought it best not to add my thoughts to this thread! ;)

CBR have a Commentary Track with Jeff Parker for Hulk #53 at http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=39272

Alpha related bits are:

Marvel have posted a Q&A with Dale Eaglesham regarding his Hulk run, which features a preview image from Hulk #55 featuring AF:

That's true.
I was thinking specifically about Hulk #53 so had put Vol. 4 out of my mind, so I apologise for that.
(I still however think that had Banner not undergone the accident then Walter...

I think you make perfect sense and can happily agree with everything you've put there.

I'm at a loss as to where this is coming from.
I haven't seen manipulation mentioned anywhere.
If it has been, I apologise.


Again, I agree with you.


Proven wrong or retconned?

Going by that logic then, the Tanaraq connection is the retcon.
Sasquatch's origin as told in Volume 1 #11 is all Gamma related.
nowhere is the portal or Tanaraq mentioned in that issue.

Or at...

I never once said it did manipulate or modify him.


And you were the one who brought up emitting.


Which is something I mentioned, in agreement.


They do in that regards though.

Indeed. Thanks for understanding my ramblings. :)
And grr for autocorrect on my phone. I meant rays.


There is undeniably a gamma connection to Walt/Sasquatch.
In Byrne's original Sasquatch...

Again KM, never once did I say that either Sasquatch or Tanaraq were Gamma Beasts.
And again, I never said that Great Beasts emit radiation, I specifically used Walter as in human form.
And if as...

I didn't say it was the same thing or that he was Gamma powered, but it was his experimentation with gamma rays that opened the portal.
Without the gamma rays and experimentation he'd never have...

To be fair that's a perfectly valid way to do it; I forget that not everyone likes previews/spoilers. So totally my bad.


By that logic you'll end up agreeing with K-M rather than me :))

If the Gamma angle was completely new I'd agree, but it's still the initial cause of his connection to Tanaraq so I can understand the useage.

Yeah, but it wasn't much of a leap seeing as we'd seen Snowbird as a sasquatch duking it out with Sasquatch back in March when the appearance was first announced.

I'd call it more than a cameo.
It's definitely guest starring the team, and everyone gets some lines.

The issue is mostly set up, but is a nice easy access for new readers.
