Spinning from the shocking twist ending of FALL OF THE HULKS, Jeff Parker (WORLD WAR HULKS: ALPHA, AVENGERS VS. ATLAS, THUNDERBOLTS) and Humberto Ramos (SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN, X-MEN) bring you the most incredible new character from the House of Ideas: HULKPOOL! What sacrifices will he make for the greater good? What horrible decisions will change the world as we know it? And what do Devil Dinosaur, Rawhide Kid, Rama Tut, and Bluebeard the Pirate have to do with this? Find out this April in HULKED-OUT HEROES! Rated T
So, who knows where this Hulks thing is going or how stupid/enjoyable it will end up being. But given Jeff Parker's involvement, at least some of it should be readable. That's not the most ringing endorsement, but for this miniseries at least, it's nice to see a superhero comic that realizes how dumb it is and just has fun, rather than trying to somehow wring some drama out of taking a non-serious situation too seriously. Let's see more like this, please; as long as Parker is writing comics, I'm sure we will. Read Full Review
Another Deadpool book and another average score. He has quickly become the Wolverine of the 2010s, and unless you're Read Full Review
Ultimately, this story probably would have functioned better as a lone one-shot than a two-issue series. I certainly had fun, but I was ready for Hulkpool's escapades to wrap by the end of the book. Hopefully Parker can keep the magic flowing in the second half later this month. Read Full Review
Humberto Ramos is the perfect choice for artist on this series. His art delivers the action and the cartoony aspect that feels right at home with the subject matter. His imaginative designs and layouts make the mixture of super heroics, time travel and pirates believable. Throw in some dinosaurs, monkeys, cowboys and Hawkeye and you get a hodgepodge of comic goodness that any reader young or old can respect. How could a writer effectively mix all of these things together? Read and find out. I must confess these types of stories are not what I really like to read but I have to admit that Parker and Ramos make H.O.H. spell F.U.N. Read Full Review
I'm not sure what the logic behind this comic is, but it's definitely one meant for fans of Deadpool, not anyone looking for a bunch of their favorite heroes Hulked out and smashing things. It's still entertaining in a chaotic, stupid way, but has little to do with "World War Hulks" and doesn't deliver on its promise. Read Full Review
The bottom line is, this book comes across as a manic, incoherent series of vignettes, a Wouldnt it be funny to see Deadpool in the year ____? exercise that doesnt deliver on either the premise, the title, or the four-dollar pricetag. Hulked-Out Heroes #1 earns a very disappointed 1.5 out of 5 stars overall, and I probably wont buy the next one because of the implied bait-and-switch of the title. Read Full Review
It has almost no sense, it's about Hulkpool traveling in time, but it has some fine easter eggs and travels into funny moments from classical Marvel comics. Plus Humberto is really cool here, for some reason... I'm surprised just like when I saw him in Savage Hulk. The event (World War Hulks) is still questionable for me, but this comic is OK.
