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 #15 - Marvel
Now there's a Red She-Hulk?!?! What the fu#$!? Well, we ended last issue with the Red Hulk arriving at the diner looking for Domino. He's afraid that she knows his secret. He doesn't know for sure. But he wants to find out. Plus . . he doesn't like loose ends. The problem is . . he wasn't expecting Wolverine and X-Force to be there also. He's got his own band of mercenaries, but . . I think he's afraid that if the going gets to rough they may just duck and run. You know . . the fight or flight response. Anyways, as were going through the fight this issue, the story is narrated by the thoughts that are running through the Rulk's head. He's thinking about Banner a lot. And he's trying to figure out where the line is between hero and villain. All of these people . . on both sides of the fight . . could consider themselves heroes or villains. But they all feel that they're fighting the good fight. They don't always think of it in terms of black & white. Now the Rulk is wondering if maybe he's done the same thing. He never started out with the intention of being like any of these people. But now . . now he's one and the same. He also spends most of the fight in contemplation as Wolverine has taken out his vision. He know it'll heal, he just doesn't know how long it'll take. Anyways, on the final page of the issue . . when it looks like Logan is about to deliver the killing blow . . someone strikes him from behind . . with a big gun. She's got a big gun in one hand, and one of Elektra's sai's in the other. Now she's got Wolverine pinned down . . and she's ready to fire. We do get another clue as to Rulk's identity this issue. He says that he was someone who rode the surf-board around the universe. But I don't think it's Norrin Radd. That would be to simple. But it's someone else who had the board at one time. Now we just have to figure out who. Jeph Loeb has been deftly wielding this secret since issue #1. Isn't it about time that we figured out what the hell's going on? Ian Churchill did the art for this issue and the last. But with Mark Farmer doing the inks, his style looks more like that of Ed McGuinness'. Anyways, I like the book. I just wish I knew what was going on. With the secret I mean. Sooner or later. I guess.

I was wondering to pick only one comics and i have chosen HULK #15. I hope they will be the Ultimate comics. I am going to buy as soon as possible and really excited to enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThe reference to Red Hulk riding a surfboard around the universe was a reference to his activities in Hulk #12, where he sapped the Silver Surfer's Power Cosmic and rode around the universe. Don't worry, while fun, it didn't really stick as part of continuity.
ReplyDeleteAlrighty then! I guess I missed that, or wasn't paying attention. Oops!!
