"THE HULK" by Loeb and McGuinness

Well, that one was born from an event in the first place. But they're on the opposite coast from WWH, so it makes sense they're not in there.

Well, they are there. That's kinda the point. They're there, but not in their book.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Are they? I must've missed them in WWH. Anyway, that works. ASM was handled the same way, although to be honest, they could've sped Back in Black up and had a WWH tie-in between it and OMD and it would've flowed pretty well. He found time to help the New Avengers out in WWH while Back in Black was going on, apparently.

Yeah, BiB could've been a good 2-3 issues shorter. And the Order was seen in A: TI.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Bah, too many tie-ins! My brain can't process it all.

 

[PhotoJones]

Just process the good ones.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I really don't remember the Order being in ATI. All I remember from that is the Shadow Initiative stuff and the mysteries surrounding MVP, Mutant Zero, and Hardball.

 

[PhotoJones]

They were there when Justice pointed out the NW tags all over the place.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'll take your word for it.

 

[PhotoJones]

As well you should. On everything.

 

[Silver Knight]

This is going to be kick assss!

 

[Red]

Eh, I don't care who's stronger. It seems like the red Hulk would be, since he's apparently angry enough for his eyes to glow and his veins to be the size of sewer pipes, but it doesn't really matter either way. I'm hoping Banner's mind gets to control the Hulk's body in Pak's next arc, a la the Professor Hulk. I always loved seeing Banner in control of the Hulk's strength.

My sentiments too. How longs it been seen Professor Hulk appeared in print anyway?

 

[Themanofbat]

So we're going to have two Hulk series every month?

I'm not sure about that... Marvel's solits for that month have "The Incredible XXXX" listed instead of "Hulk".

 

[PhotoJones]

You know whatever it is will change back to being "Hulk" within a few issues' time.

Same here, though I don't mind this Gravage Hulk that they seem to be going with.

If this really is Cho and not just rampant stupid speculation on our part, I guess part of the reason for the vascular strain that seems to be going on may be that he's not completely compatible with whatever changed him. Banner and the rest of the "amazing factor that allowed them to mutate instead of dying from gamma radiation" group might not fall into the same category as Amadeus if he's just an average super-intelligent bloke that's suddenly becomes a Hulk-like being.

 

[ShadowBoxing]

I think we're onto something though. It seems more likely than not it'll be Cho.

 

[PhotoJones]

I highly doubt that. Or rather, I'd be very disappointed if it were Cho. That'd ruin him for me.

 

[Spade]

The only other person I could think of who's involved and might be the red Hulk is the Sentry, and that'd be even worse.

I haven't read enough stories with Cho in them to really tell if it'd ruin him, though if it really is him I'm not sure I'd be excited either.

 

[Blader5489]

Two years from now seems likely.

I agree. It would be a perfect way to promote the Thor movie.

 

[Darthphere]

Red Hulk is Rick Jones *****!

 

[PhotoJones]

I'd rather that be the case instead of Cho, to be honest.

 

[ShadowBoxing]

Doubt it. They mentioned an old Hulk character would die. And since Rick has already turned into a Hulk (following the Bryne run), I doubt they'd do that again. Cho is a character who has yet to do anything of significance, however seems to be of some importance to the new Hulk mythos. He is a wanna-be Hulk for sure...and he'd be smart enough to figure a way to turn himself Hulk. Moreover he purposed that whole "Gamma Country" idea, a place where only Hulk-ish creatures could be. So if he wants to be with Hulk, I'm betting he'd have to do this to himself.

That's quite a stretch there. And ask PJ, I know stretching.

And you honestly can't take any of these fools at their word. They'll be all like "Yeah so and so "died" but he was reborn as so and so" Come on now.

 

[PhotoJones]

Darth stretches more then Reed Richards, it's true.

Rick-Hulk seems like the most logical at this point. He's been Bucky and Captain Marvel. Why not the Hulk?

 

[ShadowBoxing]

It's not a stretch, much less of a stretch than Rick Jones or the Sentry. Hell, the outline itself looks like a McGuiness outline of Cho (that's about as scrawny as he's willing to draw someone).

Could be Banner, though I doubt it...considering they clearly have been showing Green and Red in the solits.

Could be a nobody, or maybe even a new "Abomination"-ish character, but then again...Cho, a brand new Hulk character, is abscent from the cover despite being surrounded with the new Hulk supporting cast.

As for the death, yeah maybe it's not Rick Jones...maybe again it's some nobody who we haven't seen in Hulk in a long while...but then again they just brought Rick back from obscurity, and I don't know if he has any part in the new Hulk film. So, by all rights, they could kill him.

Besides, he's been a Hulk already
