30 Days of Night | Comics
In the city of Barrow, largest town from the Arctic Circle of Alaska, polar night falls for a straight of 30 days every year. Which seems like a great opportunity for the creatures of the night; the Vampires, who fed on fresh human blood. Unknown to the dwellers of the town, a small pack of Vampires have came to Barrow to take advantage of the month long dark abyss and have a feast of their lifetime on the people who live here. Led by an arrogant Vampire named Marlowe, his Vampire followers have unleashed an uninterrupted killing spree upon entering the city and this news gets to the Vampire elder, Vicente who thinks Marlowe’s actions can bring about the end to an era that was remain a secret for ages, a secret their race are trying to keep in shadows for centuries.

To stop Marlowe’s uncontrolled and unchecked madness on Barrow, Vicente quickly rushes to the wrecked town of Barrow, to take charges of the matter in his more capable hands and take necessary actions immediately. There he confronted Marlowe for his actions and in a sudden fit of rage, Vicente kills him right away by tearing him apart. As the town has already learnt about the deadly presence of the Vampires, Vicente decides it is best for them to destroy the town with its folks after all and make it look like a major accident before they are going to move on. This way, their presence will still remain secret as it was for ages. But a small group of frightened survivors led by Sheriff Eben Olemaun and his wife Stella Olemaun seems to become an obstacle to his way.

Thirty Days of Night | Comics

Thirty Days of Night | Comics
For thousands of years, humans believed that Vampires are only a scary mythical creature of darkness who sucks blood and they only exist in the books and fantasy novels. Since people refuses to believe that these very lethal and heinous creatures are for real, it gives the Vampires an advantage what they need to keep the continuation of their existence running. Because, years of absence of these creatures from human-sight may have faded their memory from men’s mind but they are feared and hated by the humans since the "Council of Elders" made their presence known to public ages ago. After struggling for over a millennium, only a few of them made it out to the present led by an elder named Vicente.

Marlowe, one of Vicente’s own kind has raided the city of Barrow, Alaska, during a 30 straight days of polar night to have a non-stop feeding fest with a few of his blood-thirsty followers that made its residents known about the secret presence of them which their race has been keeping under cover for quite some time. Vicente eventually arrives at Barrow upon calling, only to confront and take care of Marlowe later for what he mindlessly did by blowing their cover to the humans and then decides to continue what Marlowe began anyway, so that there is no witness left to tell their tale. Sheriff Eben Olemaun along with his wife Stella Olemaun and a handful of survivors made a last stand against the Nosferatu. The winter may have had weakened them but since the night is young, the creatures of darkness are still to do a lot more to the humans.

Ultimate Wolverine Vs. Hulk | Comics

Wolverine is sent to confront Hulk by Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. who wants Hulk off-grid after his rampage caused worldwide destruction like a building-crush in Paris, massive cattle massacre in Ireland and report of an earthquake in India while Bruce Banner was constantly changing into Hulk and travelling various locations.

Before he goes looking for Banner, Logan picks up Bruce’s scent from his cousin Dr. Jennifer Walters. After an awful lot of tracking Logan finally encounters Bruce in a harem like temple in a little village of Tibet surrounding by many women and after a triggering conversation, they both engage in a fierce battle. But as they both gets into a bloody rage, the Hulk manages to tear Wolverine in half and threw his legs four miles away.

When Banner went nuts after his wife Betty Ross broke up with him for Freddy Prinze Jr, Hulk made a mess of New York and The Ultimates tried to stop him. He was nuked but survived somehow by turning into Hulk. When he turned into Bruce again, he tried to hide himself from public but trouble finds him always on the wrong side of his temper which is followed by the series of global incidents.

Meanwhile, Betty Ross tries to convince Tony Stark and Steve Rogers to stop Logan from killing Bruce, but her attempts were quite unsuccessful. Aside from that, when Hulk tore up Wolverine into two, he was asking him about which leg he should eat first and suddenly out of nowhere, Betty Ross drops out of a S.H.I.E.L.D. stealth hyperjet as Plan B.

With the writer/artist team of Damon Lindelof and Leinil Francis Yu (New Avengers, Secret Invasion), the long delayed six issue miniseries of "Ultimate Wolverine Vs. Hulk" was started publishing by Marvel Comics in 2005 and finished on 2009. As the Hulk Vs. Wolverine battles are always one of comic-books' most epic fights, this one is no different either. Reference of this fight was later mentioned on the pages of Ultimate X-Men, Ultimates 3 and Ultimatum.

However, aside from the superhero brawl, there is a big and a bit of confusing plot in the background that doesn’t serve the story very well. This entire story took place in an alternate reality of Marvel Comics, Earth 1610, which is also known as the Ultimate Universe.
