Official Rulk Thread

[Ahura Mazda]

It is quite funny and well done. Thanks Mr. Green

 

[TheCorpulent1]

That was pretty silly. Simone knows what's up.

 

[Mr. Green]

Yeah, I really thought it was going to be really serious at first and then then it just kept getting funnier and funnier.

 

[SUPER MARVELMAN]

Is Hulk coming out tomorrow?

 

[Mr. Green]

No.

Okay Rulk might not be Samson, but it's not a mystery that Samson is involved, IMO I think Rulk should be Samson. I really think the Samson that showed up at the end of issue 6 was Samson from the future. Like when Samson tells Rick Jones after shooting him "You can't be telling secrets Rick. It's not your future. It's not your destiny" I felt that was supposed to be a hint that this Samson was from the future. This doesn't mean for any reason that Samson is Rulk, but he obviosly knows whats going on and is letting it all happen. Samson and She-Hulk had not been getting along and what I've noticed is that Rulk seemed to have a personal thing against She-Hulk. It's also weird that Rulk used a gun to kill Abomination then Samson uses a gun to shot the new A-Bomb. It's also kinda coincidential that Samson has his signature look but all of a sudden he is wearing nothing but torn up black pants, which is exactly what Rulk wears. The only thing is that Samson now has long hair and a scar on his chest which Rulk doesn't have. To me the scar can easily be explained by it healing when transformed, the long hair and the comment about the future is what leads me to believe that Samson is from the future. In the end I have stated in multiple posts my opinions on how it makes perfect sense for Samson to be Rulk.

Samson had been making all kinds of random appearances throughout the MU for the last couple of years. Dont get me wrong he's been a big part of the MU for years, but right before/around CW Marvel really started to put him out there. He popped up in X-Men, X-Factor, Ironman, She-Hulk, Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four, The Initiative, he was in CW & WWH, then he made his last appearance thus far in Hulk. Since than he hasn't been seen, he wasn't there for Secret Invasion, he has been mentioned in The Initiative by Trauma saying that Doc Samson was apperently "to busy" to meet with him for a session. This guy has never been to busy in the last couple years, he has been the therapist for the whole MU and has been there for the last couple major events. All of a sudden Samson is to busy to meet with patients, to busy to help out during SI. If Samson isn't the Rulk he has to be involved, all of a sudden Samson starts to let his temper get the better of him, he comes out of nowhere with long hair and shots Rick Jones before he can tell Hulk who Rulk is.

wow, that makes all kinds of weird comic book sense.

Hulk issue 8 - The Green Hulk story is a little more fun than the Rulk story, it looks like MoonKinght had a plan and Sentry and Ms. Marvel kinda messed things up a little. The Rulk story is more like an arc of She-Hulk, She-Hulk is always fun to read so I'm cool with that. By the end of this story arc I really think we'll find out who Rulk is, the Lady Liberators are gonna pull it off. Thats probably why that came back together in She-Hulk, cause they were successful against the Rulk.

But guys, you have GOT to check out Gail Simone's take on a Hulk vs Thor fight! It is awesome!

EDIT: Click on "print article" to read the whole thing. It won't print but you'll be able to read the whole thing.

....I didn't think I could love Gail Simone any more after her work on Deadpool, but now, I have to go and get a wedding ring and propose! Oh man, hilarious! This needs to be made into a narration! Would anyone be opposed to such an attempt?

Oh and are all of the YaBS articles this hilarious?

 

[Manic]

Weren't those YABS bits what got her hired as a professional comic book writer in the first place?

 

[Shockdingo]

Oh really? No wonder she's in the biz. That's some good stuff.

Oh and Manic: nice sig, hehe I'm another white talking black guy, so it's nice to see one is going to be the next president

 

[GNR]

I flipped thru 7 and 8 and goddamn I was so tempted to buy this for the art and action alone.

 

[SUPER MARVELMAN]

It's getting better.

 

[Omega Red]

My vote is still Nick Fury

 

[Obi-Ron]

Nice to see Jen get a little payback in Hulk #8.

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

I'm really looking forward to issue #10. Defenders vs Anti-Defenders! (Offenders?)

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, they're called the Offenders, according to the solicitation.

 

[SUPER MARVELMAN]

It makes sense, if they are the opposite of Defense. I dont get what the ? is for?

 

[SUPER MARVELMAN]

My vote is still Nick Fury

Are you talking about who the Rulk is?

If you are, it can't be Fury, Hulk takes place before SI.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I want Rulk to destroy a lot of those LL's next month

 

[Obi-Ron]

The widow and the 2 cat ladies are the most likely casualties, I would think.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Sue should be the one to end that fight

 

[SUPER MARVELMAN]

Black Widow is in SI, so no she doesn't die. Hellcat has been used a lot lately, she probably wont die. Maybe Tigra will, but I thought I read that somebody was interested in using her. I dont think ant of the girls are gonna die.

 

[SUPER MARVELMAN]

Sue should be the one to end that fight

No way, She-Hulk should be the one to end it, especially if Rulk is Samson. Also there has been another mention of Doc Samson missing in the latest Thunderbolts, Penance mentions it.

 

[Obi-Ron]

What's with the pointless thread name change?
