If this was Jeff Parker’s audition for the ongoing Red Hulk series, I can see why he got the job. These four issues don’t really hold together as one coherent story, but they do a great job showing different “deleted scenes” from the Fall of the Hulks storyline. And those scenes have a wide variety of characters, so Parker shows off how well he can handle the Hulk’s huge cast.
Rick Jones (as A-Bomb) plays a pretty consistent role through the series, but I don’t think his name would sell as many books. It’s quite fun seeing him face down against Red Hulk, because he spends as much time verbally tormenting Rulk as he does fighting him. (Have Jones and Spidey ever teamed-up?)
I always enjoy Thundra, and she gets a big role in an issue too. They explain how her daughter ended up on the Wizard’s Frightful Four instead of Thundra. Again, a nice deleted scene.
Parker spends a long time showing how the Intelligencia underestimated the Red Hulk. That character got where he did using his brain, and adding enormous strength and boiling blood didn’t take away his old smarts. Rulk is a pretty damn intimidating character, especially since he’s barely a good guy when this series is set.
Carlos Rodriguez’s art has a Hulk house-style. It’s not as dynamic as Paul Pelletier or Ed McGuiness, but it certainly has a lot of dynamic power.
Good

please boycott CBR and their Wonder Woman forum...Aegisbearer, the moderator on the forum, has been arrested on charges of public indecency with two minors he teaches.
This is an absolutely disgusting individual and CBR should fire or at the least suspend him until investigations are completed.
MrTibotron, the above comment is libelous and inappropriate. Please remove it from the page. I won't post any information about myself, but the post is about me and is untrue. This person is someone who was banned from the CBR forums and is now seeking to defame me.
To the blogger: the accusation against aegisbearer is nothing but hateful, vindictive slander. The person slandered has numerous friends who know the truth. The liar who posted those remarks has been libeling aegis at different sites all over the internet.
He has lied and falsely attributed his libel to other people. What this person doesn't know--or apparently care about--is that he's venturing into criminal territory. aegis HAS the offender's real name and email address. It's not that hard to pursue legal action.
Please remove that hateful lie about aegisbearer. Thank you.
Agreed! These accusations are not only libelous they're now criminally so as they are being done with malice and forethought in an attempt to a man's reputation. Aegisbearer has never been arrested for anything let alone something as vile as the charges this jackass is making. He is a fine and upstanding teacher and such accusations could directly impact on his occupation.
