This issue actually takes place before Incredible Hulk #606. Which I read last week. This one basically brings us up to speed on this Cosmic Hulk . . the robot that the Leader and MODOK have absconded for their own purposes. However . . I'm thinking that may come back to bite them in the ass, sooner or later, as Galactus is the one that originally designed and built this things. Well . . not the Hulk-bot, but the program that's dwelling inside of it . . the vessel cosmos automaton. Basically, it's a data-loop that looks for intelligent life to build it a host-body. The Mad Thinker is the one who actually built this one. However, after doing it, he didn't remember why or how he did it. So he was distrustful and locked it away. Anyways, I'm thinking Galactus may come after his program sooner or later, because . . when we're getting caught up on the history of this thing, we find out that this was originally designed to be a herald of sorts for Galactus. However, he had problems with it because it was often pirated and re-purposed for whomever found it. And more often than not it was sent back against it's creator. So I'm thinking, I'm sure Galactus has to be aware that it's active again. I'm thinking that it's only a matter of time before he comes after his property. Anyways, we also get a view of how MODOK keeps himself alive and fit . . through the re-purposing of the organs of an unlimited cadre of clones. Later when Bruce, A-Bomb and the Red-Hulk are trying to come up with a plan on what to do about this thing. the Red-Hulk suggests that besides his son Skaar, they probably need to call in Bruce's other sibling . . his daughter, the all-new Savage She-Hulk. I'm sure this is going to be an interesting family reunion. This book was ok. Jeff Parker supplied us with a whole lot of information this issue. Maybe that's why I had a hard time getting in to it. It seemed more like an entry into the History of the Marvel Universe, than a story about the Red-Hulk. This is his solo-book, afterall. Right? But this issue was kind of put together as a history lesson . . retroactive continuity. Carlos Rodriguez did a decent job with the art. I guess I just expected more from the first issue of a series. But . . we are right in the middle of a major epic unfolding, so . . I guess we get what we get right now. We'll see what happens next time.
