Do you want to watch Iron Man duke it out Hulk? This reminds me of a Tekken-like animated battle. This animated fan short Iron Man Gamma Protocol is by Anthony McGrath. Iron Man puts on the Hulkbuster suit to battle Hulk at a deserted gas station in a small town. The animation looks awesome.

I remember as a kid in the 1980s, you were either a Marvel Comics or DC Comics fan, there was no in-between. I didn’t get serious into collecting comics until the late 1980s and early 1990s, when Marvel had an amazing staple of talents like Jim Lee, Todd McFarlane, Rob Liefield, Marc Silverstri, Whilce Portacio and Jae Lee, just to name a few. Every week I had a stack of Marvel comic books and a issue was like .75 cents! If you know you have a Marvel fan this Holiday season, then The Marvel Vault – A Visual History will make a great gift item.
