[Mr. Green]

VS Abomination (#1)
VS Iron Man and She Hulk (#2 and King Size)
VS A-Bomb (#3)
VS Hulk (#4)
VS Thor (#5)

Quick summary of fights...

Spoiler

Not that we got to literally see what he did, but he punched the hell out of Abomination and then shot him a bunch of times with a gigantic SHIELD designed gun.

I can't remember off the top of my head if he even really fought Iron Man but She-Hulk got a few good blows in before getting choked out by Rulk and Rulk told her that he could kill her any time he wants.

Then him and A-Bomb traded some blows, A-Bomb used his sharp claws and Rulk used a turret to shoot at A-Bomb but he was bulletproof so it didn't matter. Then Rulk started beating his ass and things seemed to be going pretty bad for A-Bomb until the real Hulk showed up.

Then Hulk and Rulk started fighting and they traded blows until Rulk broke Hulk's arm and then choked him out.

And with Thor... Well, see for yourself...

On second thought, since some might not want to buy it I'll just host them on ImageShack. Spoiler alert beforehand: It's obviously not the whole issue, but this is the fight in its entirety:

What is a red GSC (posted one page ago)?

 

[Mr. Green]

GSC stands for gamma spawned creature and some people call Rulk a red GSC because Hulk is the name of Banner's Hulk personality (he has multiple personality disorder) and not the name for all GSCs.

And really, if Loeb doesn't come up with another name (NOT Hulk and NOT Rulk) for Rulk, he is just a d***.

Thanks peoples!

 

[K4tzm4n]

Actually...Rulk was beating A-Bomb down and next thing we knew, he was up and perfectly fine slugging it out with Rulk.

 

[Obi-Ron]

VS Abomination (#1)
VS Iron Man and She Hulk (#2 and King Size)
VS A-Bomb (#3)
VS Hulk (#4)
VS Thor (#5)

He also took down a Wendigo

 

[Franklin Richards]

The Thing needs to show up with a shield outfit and two badass guns and beat the snot out of Rulk!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

If Ben were reduced to a gun-toting lunatic, I think we'd all lose more than Rulk would.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Weren't we in the "red" once this series came out anyway?


Yes, I used a pun!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

No! You used a pun.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Back to the point...

They've taken the time to screw up Thor and get cameo's out of Iron Man and She Hulk. Just seems like an insult not to include Ben in here somewhere.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Loeb probably doesn't remember Ben exists or something.

I can't possibly imagine how someone mercifully being allowed to not appear in this book could be seen as an insult.

 

[ShadowBoxing]

Yeah, and people genuinely like it. My point's not that Hulk is good; it's that a lot of people think it's good, regardless of what we say.

It reads like the Marvel version of All Star Batman and Robin.

 

[Mr. Green]

LOL! Good point.

It reads like the Marvel version of All Star Batman and Robin.

At least it's somewhat entertaining because there's a lot of action and it's actually kinda fun. I can't stand All Star Batman and Robin. I really am sick of reading Miller books that all have the same noir-styled narration. NOBODY TALKS LIKE THAT! It was cool in Sin City. Move on.

 

[kguillou]

The narration is not the problem with All star Batman and Robin, its the god-awful characterisations of the characters. You cant tell if its supposed to be a comedy or a serious comic book...hmmm its alot like Hulk actually. I dont know whether im supposed to laugh or groan.

 

[Mr. Green]

Yeah, I see what you mean. It seems like the characterization and dialogue problem go hand in hand. Everything he writes has the same dialogue which leads to the same characterization and it just doesn't seem to fit Batman. Batman doesn't talk like that. Ever.

And now the Spirit movie is going to be the exact same thing as Sin City. If I didn't know who the Spirit was I would have assumed that was a Sin City spin-off actually.

Hulk can get away with over the top and ultra violent, Batman seems to need some intelligence to drive his stories, and ASBR doesn't have that.

 

[kguillou]

So anyway #6 is comin in a few days, are we going to find out who Red hulk is what the **** is his relevance is to WWH???

 

[Obi-Ron]

doubt it

 

[kguillou]

Freakin Loeb, he's gona drag this out as long as possible.

 

[Red]

Loeb probably doesn't remember Ben exists or something.

Ben appeared at the end of issue #5 along with Namor, Ares and Johnny.

 

[Ahura Mazda]

So this is being shipped out this week; is it not?

 

[kguillou]

That's right and guess what, Loeb's other wonderful book, Ultimates 3 is coming out as well! lol
