Hulk! Wendigo! Sasquatch!

mrosaHere's another classic gem from Bill Mantlo's run in The Incredible Hulk, which saw Bruce Banner for the first time taking control of the Hulk's body and power. It was the start of a new age for the green goliath and has influenced every custodian of the character ever since.

mrosaIn the mid-eighties there was a long story in The Incredible Hulk called 'Crossroads:' in order to stop the Hulk's destructive rampage, Doctor Strange exiled the green goliath in a mystical realm where he could harm no one and, in principle, be harmed by no one. The second part didn't work out too well and the Hulk kept jumping from one bizarre world to another where he had lots of cool high fantasy and science fiction adventures. Of all the stories, there's one told in the annual #13 that is particularly dear to me:

Indestructible Hulk #3 and Daredevil #22
Jan. 17th, 2013 05:45 pmarbre_rieur
"[A]s I got into my 30s and I got into my 40s, I really started to understand a lot more about what I have learned both good and bad from superhero comics as a kid. The upsides -- the obvious upsides: do the right thing, and save cats from trees, and be honest to people, help little old ladies across the street. The darker stuff that you learn... I mean, Jesus, everything emotionally stunted and wrong about me I learned from Mort Weisinger. ... I brought even more personal issues to Daredevil in terms of a lifelong struggle with depression. How you deal with that and don't deal with that, that's something I get a chance to work out with these characters, both Bruce Banner and Matt Murdock." -- Mark Waid

thanekosOn the one side, you've got the Red Hulk, Thunderbolt Ross: formerly a four-star general in the Air Force hunting the Hulk, currently a dead man turned Rulk being hunted.
On the other, the technomorphic transhuman Zero/One, Dr. Parul Kurinji: once working for the shady super-scientific Omnisapient Systems, now for the future's betterment.
They're a natural protagonist/antagonist pair, opposites that they are; one's raw power and just-in-time tactics, the other's refactored intelligence and long-term strategies. Until this month's Hulk #40, they hadn't yet had a direct confrontation, Zero/One only sending her attack augment Black Fog time and again in bids to eliminate him.
( But then, last month, the crimson crusher's latest bête noire Omegex the world-ender BRAMMM'd him right into Bar Harbor, Maine. )

sherkahnIn my earlier post about this issue we could have had a battle on four fronts.
Red Hulk.
vs.
The Serpent's forces (Angrir/Ben Grimm + Nazi war mech)
vs.
Modok and his forces (Zzax + LMD robots)
vs.
Zero/One and her forces (Black Fog and her own mutations)
with no one else in NYC to stop them.
Guess how this goes down?
( Bring the noise. )

How much can one Hulk be hated?
May. 18th, 2011 05:36 pmthanekosIn terms of the Red Hulk, you've no doubt already figured out the answer.
Parker's Hulk run certainly has, its Scorched Earth arc having Rulk take it on the chin from Iron Man, Thor, and Namor. It's also realized that if you want to make a character viable beyond the events of his creation (despite Incredible's upcoming conclusion, Hulk promises to be predominantly "all red" for a while yet.. Rulk and Red She-Hulk? Definitely a familial connection..), you've got to draw him away from it.
To that end, it's been cranking out all-new antagonists since March, four deathly deadly terrors with their own reasons to see Rulk dead: the living weapon Omegex, the vengeful soldier Fortean, the creative mastermind Zero/One, and the haunting Hyderabadian spectre known as the Black Fog.
It's wrapped up those acts of creation with this month's #33, to take Rulk off to space; if future solicits are any indication, it won't be coming back to them for a few months at the least. Still, Parker's done a nice job dropping a few new toys into the box, and I'm eagerly anticipating his picking them up again.
(A note: These're pages from Hulk #30.1-33, none of which exceed the 7/21 split; only 4 from this week's #33 are below, for those who need to know that sort of thing.)
( Partly because he's also been fairly deft at their construction.. )

thanekosSo now everything but the Thunderbolts tie-in's over for Hulk's Scorched Earth, leaving us with the fallout of the Intelligentsia's machinations; Doom's brain damage, a spider legged MODOK, and the Red Hulk.
The last of whom's been establishing his presence in the larger MU, riding along with the Avengers and unwillingly killing Araña's dad. He even seems to be getting Hulk to himself for the next few, while Bruce rages against the gods in Incredible Hulks..
..so now's the perfect time to give him his own enemies, foes outside himself.
( People who he can punch in the face such that we're rooting for him, at least. )

Aug. 29th, 2010 05:34 pmnova_primeSince we had a look at Incredible Hulks #112 earlier, why not Hulk #25 with the new creative team of Jeff Parker and Gabriel Hardman via CosmicBookNews!
Can they pull Rulk off?
Hate it or love it, Loeb and McGuinness' Rulk was entertaining!

The big dumb plan of the smart guys!
Apr. 9th, 2010 01:56 pmthanekosSo, yeah, Hulkpool.
He happened because of the Intelligencia's big plan, the one they've been building up to.
The one for which they neutralized the Earth's smartest people, stole Tony Stark's big gold Helicarrier, and set Rulk upon everyone else.
( And as Hulk 21/Incredible Hulk 608 show us, that plan is... )

proteus_livesGreetings True Believers! I'm here to fulfill a request from box_in_the_box and it works even better since it's so close to V-Day. ;)
Every one knows that The Incredible Hulk wants to be left alone. But what happens when he doesn't want to be "alone" anymore? A certain jade-skinned lawyer better duck and cover! Enjoy....Sorta!
Suggested Tags: char: hulk/bruce banner, char: she-hulk/jennifer walters, group: avengers, title: hulk, publisher: marvel comics, creator: paul jenkins, creator: mark texiera, theme: incest

Jan. 20th, 2010 11:14 amneuhallidaeSo while scanning down the list of Marvel's April solicits, this cover for one of the "Fall of the Hulks" tie-ins caught my eye. And not in a good way.

A Request, and an alternate Hulk 18 cover
Nov. 26th, 2009 01:12 amespanolbot( Rulk Smashes the Holidays! )
Request: Anyone have scans of someone getting a certain injury in Cry for Justice? I won't say who as it'd be a spoiler, but if you've read it you'll know. And any Shade if he showed. :)
