    Fallen Soldier

    So far I have been really enjoying The Fall of The Hulks story arc. Now the thing i enjoy about this series other than the fact that it follows a character i am found of (Hulk), Is that It has no tie ins to the major going ons in Dark Reign, which is a nice break from the Bendis monopolized story titles, not to say i don't enjoy his writing, but it is nice to read something in the marvel universe that is written by someone else. And to be frank i never expected to enjoy this Hulk story as much as i do. To be honest i was on board at first when the Red Hulk first appeared in Hulk #1, but fairly soon i decided it best to jump ship around Hulk #10-12, due to the frustrated impatience to find out who Rulk was. Now im back, so here is my review of Fall of The Hulks Gamma:
    Issue Story: In Fall Of The Hulks Gamma, we find ourselves at another gamma irradiated crime scene, not to different from the one where the Abomination was killed by Rulk, however the death of this character reveals new secrets and backhand deals going on. the story itself primarily focuses on the eulogies of the fallen character we as the reader do find out how close both sides of the Hulk War are playing it, We also find out people we thought who've passed on are alive, and we find uneasy alliances have been made as well. Overall I enjoyed this issue, it sort of served as a reveal of whose on whose side in the upcoming storyline. The first death was the shot that sparked the war, which both sides have been preparing for years. So yeah if you enjoy Hulk stories or have been following this story, it is a definite must read. 
    Art: The Art is done by John Romita Jr. for those of you who don't know who he is Jr.Jr. has done work on the Amazing Spiderman and Kick-Ass. Anyways I have no real problem with the art, i can understand why some would not like his style, but don't let the art stop you from checking out this story. there are some unusual poses for some of the figures(wizard) that are kinda odd but, it's not a big deal. 
    Overall I feel this is a solid issue of Hulk which Has been consistently good so far in the Fall of the Hulk Storyline, Will Fall of the Hulks be great like Planet Hulk, or decent like World War Hulk is still yet to be seen, but my fingers are crossed for something awesome to happen/come out of this storyline.

      I am not a Hulk fan.  I did like the last movie and I have a few storylines I have enjoyed from the Hulk, but overall I find him to be a boring character.  I especially don't like the Red Hulk and all the other Hulks that have been popping up.  I am happy with just one Hulk even though I dislike him.  I find the Hulk to be a villain and I was more of a fan of those characters that tried to stop him.   In this issue, an old Hulk villain dies.  Many Marvel characters and Hulk characters show up in...

      Fall of the Hulks Gamma: Thunderstruck 0

      Fall of the Hulks Gamma is a requiem for one of the Hulk's longest running adversaries who died once before being brought back only to die again. The story unfolds eerily similar to the mysterious murder of the original Abomination in Hulk #1. Only this time, the investigators lead by Doc Samson already know who to implicate, the Red Hulk.   "It happened quickly. The Middle of the Night. We're still canvassing for witnesses. It was done in public though. Which is..ODD. Or important. Or Both." -D...
