HULK #2 (Marvel / Loeb / McGuinness / Vines)
” Who is The Red Hulk? Part II.
After last issue’s shocking murder, there’s evidence on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier that will bring down the killer. So…The Hulk is going after it — and might bring down the Helicarrier instead! The one person standing in the Hulk’s path — Iron Man! Also, the return of the LAST person you ever expected to see! Game on! “
Rick Jones is not the red Hulk. He’s something much lamer than that! Why does Loeb and Marvel feel that Rick Jones need to be a supervillian…or even super at all? The original intent of his character was to be the voice of the everyman in the book, not A-Bomb! (stupid name by the way) So now we have Banner locked away, a red Hulk who we have no idea who is he, and a new abomination in Rick Jones. Maybe Mephisto will show up and wipe this out of reality too. We can only hope.
But hey, the art looks pretty!
