HULK #5 - Marvel


So . . last issue we learned that Tony had evidence that the Red Hulk was actually Doc Samson. Well . . this issue we find out that leap in logic may have been a bit . . premature. We still don't know who the Red Hulk is, but . . everytime we think we do know . . . there appears evidence to the contrary. But, what else do you expect from Jeph Loeb? That's how he writes his stories . . he always keeps you guessing. And we've definitely been doing that so far this series. I'm just having a hard time believing that he went toe to toe with Thor. And Thor came up lacking. What's that all about? Right now though . . Thor is taking a momentary respite on the moon, where the Red Hulk left him, and you just know that his temper is brewing. Now the forces coming together to oppose this red beheamouth are becoming titanic. At the end of this issue the Hulk vows to take down his red counterpart, and with the help he's got at his side, he just might be able to pull it off. Iron Man shows up, just as the Hulk and A-Bomb come up from the murky waters of San Francisco bay, and at his side he's got the Thing, She-Hulk, Ares, the Human Torch and Namor. If anybody has a chance of taking this guy down . . this is the group to do it. Ed McGuinness' and Mark Farmer's art is equally as impressive this issue. So far this has been a great series, and I'm not even a big Hulk guy. But I like this series.
