Your suspects for the crime of being the Red Hulk your honor. Problems abound with this issue and how it fits into continuity as Clay Quartermain is mentioned in passing during Mighty Avengers 12 as being essentially kicked out of SHIELD, but we’re to suppose that there he was when the big bad Red Hulk struck (unless it was him).

Here. I’m going to blow the ending of this horrible run for you. The Red Hulk? It’s Harvey Dent. Just like the Long Halloween killer kinda was and just like the Dark Victory killer kinda was. Harvey Dent made his way to the Marvel Universe when Superboy-Prime struck the fourth wall and reopened the multiverse. Marvel calls it the 616 universe for a reason.

I read this somewhere else: the art sure is pretty. That’s a true statement. Ed can draw the Hulk. She-Hulk. Iron Man. Anyone of a larger stature. Anyone with a mustache. But give him much of anything else to draw and all the characters look the same. And the fact that his deadline hitting ability has killed the upper momentum this book had in the first place (as well as Loeb’s ability to do the same), I don’t understand the appeal any longer.

Red Hulk fights Blue A-Bomb (Rick Jones Abomination). That’s about the truest statement of the bunch. Making Rick Jones the Abomination is a joke. Emil will be back, especially if the movie does well. And Rick Jones should only be written by Peter David as he’s the only person who writes him like a human being instead of a prop.

Final word:
This book sucks. I only bought it for a friend. It makes no sense how this can sell as well as it does. Do yourself a favor. Buy something a little more fun and on-time. Blue Beetle, Invincible, Wolverine First Class, anything but this. Thank goodness the X-men books don’t stink currently.
