Hulk-What a Tangled Web Loeb and McGuiness are Weaving! April 24, 2008

Oh Lucy…you got some ” splaining to do ” …
I Love Lucy a side, there is definitely a tale to be read here being woven by the ever talented Jeph Loeb, with fantastic accompanying drawings by one of my favorite artists, Ed McGuiness, whose pencil talents I first came to appreciate during his run on DC’s Batman/Superman ” Worlds Finest “.
And I have to tell ya I’m just a bit confused here with the beginning of this little series, I had heard the rumours of this new “Red Hulk “, and I was like Huh???
I mean, I’ve seen Grey, and I’ve seen Green…I’ve seen Rampaging, and I’ve seen Bestial, I’ve also caught the Intelligent Hulk (probably my Favorite interpretation ever ), and of course who could forget the Las Vegas ” Mr. Fixit ” Hulk…so I’d thought I’d seen it all okay…and then they throw this at me…I mean, what do they want from me!
What ever it is, I’m gonna give it to them, as long as the story continues to twist and turn and intrigue…
But what characters have we seen so far….
In issue #1 we get to see Doctor Leonard Samson ( that’s Doc Samson to you! ) along with Jenifer Walters, the She Hulk, and one Tony Stark aka Iron Man, Director of Shield ( at least for the moment, anyway ) on a mission in Russia ( of all places ) investigating the murder of Emile Blonsky, that’s the Abomination, just in case you forgot, by one Red ” Hulk-ish Creature “. Of course this trio, along with one General Thunderbolt Ross ( why isn’t he dead by now ! ) and Shield Commander Hill, run into some resistance to their investigation by the ” Winter Guard “, and of course the obligatory brouhaha…and did I mention a small appearance by one Rick Jones, in of all places, the frozen wastes of Alaska!
Okay, I’ve read issues 1&2 now and I’m moving onto issue #3 right after I finish this post, so while this isn’t supposed to be a review, I will say that if you’ve read other issues and stories with the Hulk, don’t stay away from this series run, I think your dollars will be well spent and you’ll be well rewarded!
