[This is reviewed on 10th Dec 2017]
The Red Hulk launch was big when it was first released and regardless of its shipping schedules, whenever an issue hits, if it has Ed on artwork, it was plain awesome. His work is perfect for this title and the mystery sort of stretched for well over two years before it ended and we found out that the Red Hulk (Rulk) was Ross
Once it was over, we have new writer and artist and while the story continues to deal with the aftermath of the villains in Red Hulk, unfortunately the artist Gabriel Hardman takes some getting used to. Not saying his work is bad. On the contrary, he gives the book a more realistic grainy kind of look but the oddest thing is his characters. Sometimes full of little details and other times, almost scratchy sort that makes little sense because the scenes do not call for it
In this issue, a subplot has been blown up to take center stage as we see both Red and Green Hulk working with Rick (A Bomb) to take down some bad guys (robots) that have managed to use a mind control device on many creatures including dinosaurs and A-Bomb
Expect lots of jumping and smashing and fighting each other. So it is awesome in that sense
And after all the fight, they found out that the true mastermind is an acquarium of brains thanks to the machinations of Modok. However, unbeknownst to them, obviously, it is not the end for where there is a "consortium" of small brains, can the big brain be far behind?
On the flipside of the book, another subplot has been brewing since the previous team's run that is coming to a fore front. You see, there was a time when Red Hulk managed to jump to the moon (we know, we know) and smacked the watcher. Uncharacteristically for the watcher, he decided to plan revenge and as such his other watchers have found out and tracked him down ... too late to stop what was happening ... so you know it will be a matter of issues before the next big confrontation!
Ratings: 5/10
