Red Hulk (Marvel)


New series...new Hulk?

Started off with the recent Hulk #1, featuring a Red Hulk.

--------------------------------

From the USA Today:

The story line, wrapped in a murder mystery by writer Jeph Loeb and artist Ed McGuinness, centers on the identity of the Red Hulk, who may or may not be Bruce Banner and who is even more savage than the green version.

"I wanted to bring a danger back to the book," Loeb says. "The Red Hulk is the kind of Hulk we haven't seen before -- a thinking, calculating, brutal weapon-toting kind of Hulk.

"Everything the Green Hulk isn't, the Red Hulk is."

For fans of the Hulk, the new bright crimson version may be a shock. The Hulk was dull gray when he was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1962, but that was changed with the second issue, and he has been reliably emerald for almost half a century.

I read (red) the first one. It's interesting. Seems Rick Jones is the red hulk.

The fact that Rick Jones woke up shirtless and in ripped jeans, in the Alaskan Wilderness, outside of some burning destruction, would probably be as good a guess as any. You read the comic book?

I think he means "how did he become a Hulk?"

Honestly, I either don't remember or they didn't tell us. I suspect it's some sort of fallout from World War Hulk.

In don't think they're depserate, though. Civil War has brought their sales up and the Ultimate titles are selling really well.

Seems to me it could be an interesting story. I'm glad to see that post peter david they've been able to successfully tap into the Hulk mythos. I hope this one turns out as good as WWH.

Cable actually appeared first.

Cable (Mar 1990)

Gambit (Aug 1990)

Deadpool (Feb 1991)

Another semi-popular character...

Bishop (Nov 1991)

Those were all Chris Clairmont guys right? The talent that left Marvel and went to form Image was astounding.
