Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

same with Secret Avengers 21.1 (good times on it)
I've been majorly disappointed with EVERY .1 issue I've read before SA 21.1 came along. Its hard to sort the crap from the treasure but every now and then Marvel surprises me.
I think the next .1 issue is Amazing Spidey on Feb 15th...definitely going to be waiting for a review on that one before adding it to my cart. There's already 2 other ASM issues coming out this month, did Marvel really feel there was a need for a third??

Here's a Hulk question: When did the Hulk stop being bulletproof and why? The past few years, I've seen so many instances of the Hulk bleeding. So now the Hulk's skin isn't impenetrable, so he can be cut? Does he have a healing factor now?
Any info on this will be much appreciated because this has been bugging the crap out of me.

Ok, so I haven't read any Batman comics since "Long Halloween/Dark Victory", although he appeared in various comics i've read since, like "Infinite Crisis" etc., but nothing specific about Bats...So what I want to know now is this:
What Batman run of the last 10-15 years is worth reading, since I haven't kept up?
I only hear negative thing coming out of the DC camp, so I was wondering...

Peter, it's a safe bet that if it's a Batman book and Scott Snyder wrote it, it's brilliant

He's bulletproof to small arms fire; the bigger the projectile, the more likely he is to catch it and throw it back, or let it hit him and heal up (after smashing what shot it).
I'm pretty sure I've seen him hit by tank rounds before, and shrug them off. His skin can't be cut except by "higher-end" metals (maybe just Adamantium), so it stands to reason that (momentum notwithstanding) any small-arms munitions still can't hurt him.
With the Hulk, it always depends on who's writing him (and what version of the Hulk has surfaced); every writer varies his limitations, to some degree.

Hulk heals faster than anyone or at least he did i'm not sure now.
In one issue Speedfreek cut the Hulk and he held his guts in and he healed in seconds in fact his fingers healed into his stomach so he pulled his fingers out of his stomach and it healed closed.

As far as his healing's concerned, he can withstand everything from complete evisceration to nuclear explosions (a Gamma-fueled nuclear explosion might slow him down a little.. ), and has.. he just has to have the required time to heal from it. We're talking minutes here, not hours.
A great example of his healing factor was during WWH vs. X-Men, when Shadowcat (another character I love) phased him partially into the ground. He was in agonizing pain, and the X-Men thought the fight was over (and the Hulk irreversibly crippled) so they turned their backs on him to discuss the severity of what Kitty had just done to him...
... giving the Hulk the few seconds necessary to pull his arms free of the ground, earth/cement/etc still imbedded within his limbs. Then he proceeded to go to town on those Puny Mutants.
Hulk Smash.

Peter, I would recommend these trades from within the time frame you are asking about:
Batman: Hush
Batman: Under The Hood Vol. 1 & 2
Batman: Face The Face
Batman: Detective
Batman: Death and the City
Batman: The Resurrection of Ra's Al Ghul
For some Dick Grayson Batman action, I would recommend Batman: Long Shadows. I would also highly recommend the trades collecting the Stephanie Brown Batgirl series and the Red Robin series, as well as Nightwing: Freefall and Nightwing: The Great Leap. As far as the current series goes, I recommend Batman, Detective, Batgirl, Nightwing and Batwing.

I have a question about Captain America.
Superman is an all round nice guy/good guy superhero and his good heart nature and moral code is heavily attributed to the upbringing by Pa and Ma Kent.
What about Steve Rogers?
Why is he such a 'good hearted' noble guy?
Did he have similar good upbringing by his parents?

My guess is that he was a farm boy raised in a very simplier time.
