Hulk #1 - Marvel


Finally, I've been waiting for this book, ever since I read the announcement for it. A brand new Hulk book . . . and by creators Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness. What more could a person ask for. From what I understand from this first issue . . the cover . . is literal. There is a new Red Hulk. I don't know if it's coincidental or not, but he first strikes in Russia. You know . . irony . . Russia . . Red . . . . anyways, Doc Samson, She-Hulk and General Ross, are the first on the scene to investigate the sighting. Apparently the Hulk . . although at the time, they don't know it's a different one . . chased the Abomination here. After beating it up thoroughly . . and wiping out a nearby village in their wake . . the Hulk then pulled out a gun and shot it to death. Not really the MO of the Hulk we know. But shortly after their arrival, the Winter Guard shows up with serious reservations about the American, and SHIELD, involvement. Now, I may be wrong, but, to me, it appears as if all of this has something to do with Rick Jones. I'm not sure if he's the Red Hulk or not. But, he is, somehow, connected. But then again . . . isn't he always. After they're forced to leave Russia, the General, and Doc Samson, go to a military bunker to enlist the help of someone they both know. After going through several security checks, and down several levels into an underground bunker, they finally come upon the holding cell of one Doctor Bruce Banner. Which begets the question in the title . . . Who is the Hulk? It's a great first issue, and I can't wait to see where they go from here.
