As much as I enjoy the work from Parker and Hardman on "Atlas," this book really surprised me. I'm not a true-blue (true-red?) Red Hulk supporter now by any means, but Parker does make the case for the Red Hulk to be a much more compelling character in this first issue of what projects to be a long run. I'm impressed with what I've seen to this point, and with this creative team in place, I plan on seeing more. This is a nice surrogate for that "Atlas" fix I'm going to be needing soon.

This series is still finding its new place in the Marvel Universe. I can't say this feels like a Jeff Parker comic book now but it certainly doesn't feel like a Jeph Loeb one anymore either. This issue gives Hulk a mission and manages to set a new level for the character and his place in the Marvel Universe. It's a good start and I'm anxious to see what they do from here.

It is a solid book. It's very good, but if you're a Jeff Parker fan, things are going to feel a little foreign. It will take time to become adjusted, not only to the Parker and Hardman team-up, but the fact that Loeb isn't writing the book anymore. I have a great feeling that this will become a serious and very good run under Parker and Hardman. Read Full Review
Both Hulk books are clearly in a period of transition right now thanks to the new creators and new story directions. So far, Hulk seems to emerge on better ground, even if it isn't entirely free of flaws. What matters is Parker and Hardman manage to hit the ground running, and this arc could easily develop into something memorable depending what direction they choose to head in. Read Full Review
