Rulk vs.

Hulk 26. (6 pages from that issue. 1 scan from Hulk 27.)





Our hero has just finished the team up with Iron Man. Meanwhile, Steve Rogers has called in Red Hulk's next partner for the next mission.



"HAVE AT THEE!"

SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!





(Posted because I can never get enough of Thor being called a hippy.)

Ross-Hulk (Why don't they code-name him 'Thunderbolt?') tries to talk Thor down.



Steve is getting annoyed because he suspects Bruce is letting things go on. So Bruce uses a hologram of Galactus to shock the pair into stopping.





Thor opens portals with his hammer to get Rulk to one comet, and himself to the other. They both destroy their comets. However..



Hulk 26. The preview is still viewable here. Skipping past it..

Systematically undoing all the shit that was terrible about Rulk in a way that emphatically doesn't let him dodge the blame for any of it is doing a downright shocking job of turning him into a character I'm actually sort of capable of caring about.

Shame nobody working on Iron Man in the last five years felt like giving that a try.

Shame indeed :(
I dunno why they keep emphasizing it all, as if it made him 'cooler' or something. Sadness.

It kind of makes me feel bad. I always disliked Thunderbolt Ross, never liked generals (there's always horrible stories troops who know them tell), and Red Hulk was stupid.

But I can feel this unwilling interest growing in the character. :(

Same. I am not the one for army-type characters (except Steve, as he is more or less idealized) but damn...they are making me acknowledge Ross as an actual character, not just the random background cardboard figure.

my thoughts exactly

on both counts.

Wow, you never *are* alone on SD!
