You haven't seen the solicitation for Hulk #5?

 

[ZombieFood]

I really am. Don't get me wrong...I love the Hulk, but this Red one is really bothering me. I can't quite put my finger on it....

I really think Thor can take him.

 

[Blader5489]

I'm just counting down the weeks until #5. I don't care who the new Hulk is as long as Thor kicks his face in.

You know the Hulk's going to win.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It's possible. I think it's likelier to be a stalemate, though.

I can really see them doing that as well. Maybe they'll surprise us

You mean this fantasmagorical picture? Oh yeah. I'm ready!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm wary, what with Loeb being at the helm and all. But at the very least, it's nice to see Thor getting out there and interacting with some of the Marvel universe again.

 

[ZombieFood]

I know. It all goes back to Loeb's anticlimactic run, but I think something this big would give given some extra attention.

 

[Kirmit]

I can't wait for Thor Vs Red Hulk but I'm more anticipating Green VS Red, I really want to know who is stronger. Also people have debated since WWH if Thor is stronger than world war hulk, so if red hulk beats thor and green beats red we'll know WWH is stronger than thor. I do think it'll just be a stalemate between Thor and Red Hulk though, I really don't think they'll give us a clear answer.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Who's stronger than whom depends on the circumstances of the fights and, more to the point, who's writing.

 

[Red]

I think it's apparent the majority of fans want to see Thor win.

 

[Kirmit]

That's true, a bit of continuity amongst the writers wouldn't go a miss. I'd like Thor to beat red hulk but the hulk fan in me just wants to see a hulk beat Thor.

I just don't want to admit it. Since it is all leading up to Green Hulk vs Red Hulk, they wouldn't, presumably, allow Thor to win. It would deflate the upcoming battle of the Hulks.

The majority of fans around here, where there's usually only a couple of really, really, really vocal Hulk fans.

Hopefully they took that into consideration.

Not so. Green and red fight before Thor steps in. In fact, it's the fallout of their battle that brings Thor in in the first place.

 

[ZombieFood]

^ What? I thought Hulk fight A-bomb was?

 

[Kirmit]

That's in #4 isn't it I'm guessing since #5 is the Thor fight and #3 is with Abomb. I have the feeling Red will win the bout with green but hopefully it'll be because of outside interferances and they'll get a rematch.

Nope. Check the solicitation:

HULK #5
Written by JEPH LOEB
Pencils & Cover by ED MCGUINNESS
Variant Cover by OLIVIER COIPEL
Superstars JEPH LOEB & ED MCGUINNESS continue their historic epic! With the entire West Coast in peril, who can stop the battle of the Century when Two, count 'em TWO Hulks, get to brawling? How about everyone's favorite Thunder God -- THE MIGHTY THOR!? He was out of town during WORLD WAR HULK -- THIS is the match-up you've been DEMANDING! But can even a God stop the Red Hulk? Find out now!!!
32 PGS./Rated A …$2.99

As far as I can tell, the order goes: Hulk fights A-Bomb in #3, the green Hulk shows up at some point and fights the red Hulk (probably in #4), and then Thor shows up as a result of the two Hulks' fight to fight the red Hulk (at least) in #5.

Actually, going on what Kirmit said, I could see the red Hulk knocking the green Hulk away or temporarily knocking him out, Thor showing up and fighting red to a draw, and then green coming back in to deliver the final blow and put red down. That would be a very judicious way to handle it without pissing off Hulk or Thor fans.

 

[ZombieFood]

I feel like such a choad. For some reason I thought #4 just came out....

Oh well. Thanks for the information.

I know alot of people wouldn't like this but I wouldn't mind Red Hulk being stronger than both Thor and Green Hulk, so the two have to team up against him, it's been a while since those two teamed up.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, that would kind of suck for me. It dashes the Hulk's whole "strongest one there is" thing and makes Thor come off like a wuss in one fell swoop.

 

[ZombieFood]

^That would be fun, actually!

 

[Kirmit]

Yeah I know, I'd just like to see those two team up again.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Meh, team them up against, like, a Celestial or something.
