The one saving grace here is Ed McGuinness's artwork. His over-the-top, cartoony style is a perfect fit for this Green Hulk/Red Hulk riff. As I've noted before, the artist has also done a great job of capturing the cosmic action and alien weirdness that's been such a big part of this storyline. His tendency to depict beefy, thick figures suits the world of the Hulk perfectly, not to mention such Kirbyian designs as Galactus and the Psycho-Man. This book is a great fit for McGuinness, so it's with some disappointment that I see that another past collaborator of Loeb's, Ian Churchill, is joining the series with #14. Read Full Review

I stress that my bullet rating for this review only reflects my personal reaction to the issue -- and since this book obviously isn't aimed at readers like me, that perhaps makes it somewhat irrelevant as a barometer of how successful the book has been in achieving its goals. For young readers (or adult readers with small children of their own) the mindless action and vibrant, colourful artwork of this book will probably provide a fun diversion. However, I can't help but feel that it's a shame that this has become the only regular Hulk title to be published by Marvel, because I'm sure there's a market for an ongoing Hulk book for more sophisticated readers, too.

I'm not saying this type of title wouldn't appeal to anybody. There is a place for mindless punching/fighting in a comic diet, but there are other better options to get your fix. Even something like X-Force (Messiah War excepted) or Deadpool provide better action, humor, and plot. I really can't see how this appeals to anyone older than 13, other than the name in the title, but your mileage/maturity may vary. Read Full Review

The sooner we put this series behind us, the better. Read Full Review
