Hulks other son? Will we see him again after "Realm of Kings'?
Hiro-Kala is the second son between Hulk and Cera or whatever her name was from Planet Hulk (Skaar being the first son).
Realm of Kings just finished this week and there's an add at the end that says Hiro-Kala's story will continue in Incredible Hulk 609, which comes out Wednesday.
So there was never any mention of how Caiera was pregnant twice or where Hiro-Kala came from beyond Hiro-Kala himself saying he's the son of the Hulk? 'Cause at the end of "Planet Hulk," we only saw Skaar rising amidst those flames after the Hulk had left for Earth.It's never been explained that well, as during the original run of Skaar: Son of Hulk... it was all about Skaar. Hiro-Kala was introduced as well as a bit of a background slave with potential. Then when Skaar left the book and it just became Son of Hulk, it was revealed that Hiro-Kala was also the son of Hulk (the last arc, new writer). Now, I don't know if that was always intended or a switch thing to keep the title going, but nonetheless, it wasn't really explained much. Hulk nor Skaar know about him. At the end of the series Hiro-Kala wanted to search out his brother, Skaar, and left. The Realm of Kings mini is a pitstop along that path (seemingly not that necessary, but we'll see what comes of it) and his story now continues in I believe this week's Incredible Hulk at the beginning of the World War Hulks storyline.
I have yet to get ROTK issue 4. Can you give me a rundown. I cant wait to see what happens in #609.Not that I've read (and I did miss a few issues toward the first part of the Son of Hulk book). The impression I got was that Skaar and Hiro-Kala were twins, but Skaar was found and believed to be the son of Hulk due to his appearance, but Hiro-Kala, looking look a shadow person, was just another person brought into slavery. It was kinda obvious that Pak was building up his character during Skaar's run, but then with Skaar's removal suddenly BOOM he's the son of Hulk, so whether or not that was intended by Pak and but not explained well by Jenkins I don't know, but either way, he's proven that he's the son of Hulk and Cierra.
Honestly, I like both characters so I'm excited to see what becomes of them. The Realm of Kings: Son of Hulk mini was a major let down after the phenominal series final of Son of Hulk (the issue alone made me love the character after not liking anything prior to it), and I'm hopoing Pak can do amazing things with him to redeam the character for me after RoK:SoH.
What is this Hiro-Kala guy's deal, anyway? Being "Hulk's love child" is not much of a distinction these days with Skaar, Lyra, and that new Scorpion chick all making the same claim.
I don't really know anything about the character other than what I've read in this thread, but apparently he will be making his presence known to the Hulk club on earth. So does he have any of his parents' powers? An alter ego? Purple pants? And what is his connection to Galactus, I keep seeing the big G appearing in pages of the book.
Where can I get up to date on this guy?
