Ok, this issue is a nice little lesson in mindless violence. Basically we watch the Red Hulk beat up on the Hulk for the whole issue. But . . we do get a little information. First we find out a few names of who the Red Hulk isn't. He isn't Commander Hill or General Ross, because the Red Hulk talks about both of them. Also he's not Clay Quartermain because he's dead. But SHIELD's field agents found an article of clothing that's drenched in Gamma Radiation. It appears that the coat belonged to . . . Leonard Samson. So now, it appears, we know who the Red Hulk is. But . . we don't have all the cards yet. There could still be more involved in all of this than we even know yet. By the way, the Hulk's fight? It ended with the Red Hulk putting a choke hold on him and then carting him up to the top of the Golden Gate Bridge. At least I think that's where we're at. Anyways, the Red Hulk tells him that he wants the whole world to see, and know, that it was he that killed the Hulk. But then . . there's a new player in this contest. One that may be even more powerful . . . Thor! "This night, you will fall before my hammer! So swears the mighty THOR!" I like the way Jeph Loeb is handling these characters. The dialogue between the 2 Hulks is priceless. And this Red Hulk seems to have just the right amount of anger, and sarcasm . . and he's a bit psychotic. Ed McGuinness turns in another fantastic issue. He seems to be the perfect artist for the Hulk. Both of them. It's a great cover also. I like the Red/Green theme.
