Marvel Comics, 2007 The new Hulk versus the new X-Factor This is why I read comics. Seriously. When I was just getting into comics, buying anything that looked interesting at 7-11, Toys 'R' Us was carrying story sets released by Marvel. (This was before everything was collected into trades, of course.) I got the three part Hulk story "War and Pieces" and the X-Factor crossover.

Distant societies think nothing of eating dogs. Some closer ones think eating horse is completely acceptable. Then there are frogs, snakes, and insect larvae.
