True Blood's vampires have "come out of the coffin" since the Japanese invented synthetic blood (sold as Tru Blood [sic], in six-packs). Humans are skeptical that they've really been taken off the menu--antivamp hate crimes abound--but they're also fascinated. There's a subculture of "fangbangers" who crave vampire sex, and in a clever inversion, a brisk trade in "v," vampire blood, which intensifies the senses and acts like extra-strength Viagra...

Heavy equipment, military and civilian, gets tossed around like Tootsie Toys in a playroom. And Blonsky morphs into a creature known as The Abomination (sic) for purposes of a climactic confrontation with The Hulk that you really don't have to witness since you've seen it in one minor variation or another a dozen times before...
