I spend a lot of time and money buying and reading comics. Most of the time I'm happy with my choices, sometimes not. I'm hoping,that with my reviews on what I've read, I might spare someone else dissapointment. I'll read anything, but I can't afford everything. If there's something you'd like for me to read, let me know. If you take the time to read this, please, take the time to let me know what you think. I may not agree with you, or you may not agree with me. But, so what. That's life.

HULK #14 - Marvel
This was a fun issue to read. The picture on the cover doesn't really happen until the very last page of the book. Basically what happens is . . for some reason Domino is staking out a barber-shop in, I assume, NYC. We find out later that it's an old SHIELD location. Anyways, while watching, she sees a guy go into an alley . . and then change into the Red Hulk. As soon as he switches he knows he's being watched and goes after Domino. Of course she slips aways from him . . luck being her thing and all. That's when Samson and General Ross get involved. This scene is set up to show us that obviously neither one of them can be the Red Hulk, because he's talking to both of them, but . . I'm thinking it's a decoy. I'm thinking he's really only talking to one of them, and the other is in his head. We see him talking to both, but . . they don't interact. I'm thinking it's the General. Although I could be wrong. It's happened before. But . . we'll see. I think by the end of this story-line we're going to have an answer to that question. Anyways, we have guest stars galore this issue, as the Red Hulk is assigned to recruit some help on this one. We see Deadpool, the Punisher, Crimson Dynamo, Thunder and Elektra. Of course it's Elektra who finds out where Domino is located. And when the Red Hulk and his team go to confront her, they find out she's brought help of her own, in the form of X-Force. Even through all of this, Jeph Loeb keeps the story upbeat and light-hearted. I liked the way the Red Hulk is sympathizing with Frank when he's watching him work. And the final page sets us up for a glorious 'smack-down' next issue. Ian Churchill does the art this issue, instead of Ed McGuinness. He's done it so it kind of looks like Ed's work, but not really. The full page picture of Elektra was awesome. Overall I thought it was a great issue.
