    Will Rulk survive for much longer after his fight with Omegex? Now that the Hulk mega sagas are over, he's been getting his butt stomped. Will he last another two years?

    Doubt it. Marvel enjoys Rulk and he is getting more popular. I think as more writers get their hands on him the character will get better.

    I like jeff parkers writing on the series, well i mean before the whole copying the planet hulk story line. but it was interesting to see an aged general learning how to be a hero from the young ones.

    Agreed. He looks cool, but that's where it stops. The rest is just a whole tangled mess of PIS and Loeb-force.

    I really like the Rulk as well, but he's really just red with absorbing abilities and flame-throwing eyes. He can get hot and his power cosmic doesn't stand out. He is a lot like Hulk..... And now that Hulk fought Fin Fang Foom and unleashed "Worldbreaker 2", Rulk is potentially not even near the same league with the like 50 gamma bombs Hulk absorbed, and grew to like 50 feet tall. Unless the wish undid all that, She-Hulk, Hulk, She-Rulk, and A-Bomb are now all stronger than Rulk. A-Bomb is different. Skaar is bad-ass. Keeping Hulk, A-Bomb, and Skaar is cool. Killing off the rest of the Hulks, as well as so many lesser-tier heroes and some villains would do Marvel some good. BlackBolt is not one fo those guys :). Keeping those 3 Hulks and Rulk would be the limit in my opinion, otherwise they just take away from the whole Hulk thing. Marvel has enough monsters. Plus now they have Cyttorak enhanced Colossus. I want that Hulk Vs. New Colossus fight, and it makes sense. Maybe Rulk can fight BlackBolt.
