and heard a rumor that they are starting up "Incredible Hulk" again. I
currently get a sub to "Hulk", which started out as "Incredible Hulk".
I have to admit that my enjoyment of the title lagged quite a bit when
the title changed, and became a lot less "Incredible".
Can anyone confirm that Incredible will be publishing again soon?

It's been happening for a few months now. "Incredible Hulk" has the
adventures of Bruce Banner and at least one refugee from Planet
Sakaar. Don't blame yourself for missing it; I blinked and ignored it
too. But at least "Fall of the Hulks" is finally answering the
question, who *are* the seven smartest people in the Marvel Universe?

And not only that, but both Hulk and Incredible Hulk are running
concurrently, with the former title still starring the red Hulk. But
even that's about to change with the launch of a new "Red Hulk"
on-going series, so then there'll be three. A long-time Hulk fan
could be forgiven for feeling overwhelmed, as we've also been recently
awarded no less than two Sons of Hulk and two all-new She-Hulks. I'm
waiting for the addition of a Deadpool Hulk and that'll be about
perfect.

Not yet, but they're hinting more and more about it now.
Tim Turnip
Yes, in fact Fall Of The Hulks: Gamma strongly hints at the identities
of both the Red Hulk and Red She-Hulk (which, if true, will be a
conclusion somewhat predictable to long-time Hulk devotees).

Given that almost literally everyone else who might have wanted to take
Banner and/or the Hulk down a few has been thoroughly accounted for, I
don't think it'll be much of a surprise. Although there's still that
minor being-dead issue to explain away...

By this point, does anyone care anyway? Other than just idle
curiosity, that is.

Yeah, I count that as idle curiosity. Something reminds someone
that there is a Red Hulk. That someone remembers "Hey, they
never revealed his identity before I stopped caring. I wonder if
they've revealed it since." That someone then asks someone else.
Tim Turnip
It's got me reading the Hulk books again, for really the first time
since the Peter David years (though admittedly much of that lapse was
due to being out of comics altogether). My interest lies in the
notion that Marvel is seemingly invested in making the Red Hulk (and
his burgeoning franchise) a lasting part of the Marvel Universe and
not just some temporary switcheroo.
The thing I don't like about Red Hulk is not his obscured identity but
his obscured motivations. It's been an awful lot of time to have a
character in the spotlight without being able to discern why he's
doing any of the things he's doing.

Yeah, that would be just about right.

No, I don't, and I've been subscribing and reading monthly for 5+
years. I liked Planet Hulk a LOT, but then I didn't get the whole story
of World War Hulk in the issues that followed. Now I'm just annoyed
with the whole Red Hulk thing.
However, I will admit to enjoying most of the one page "red, green,
blue" hulk funnies on the last page, where they make fun of themselves.
Not quite enough to make up for the lackluster Red Hulk, but it helps.
So for me, I'm really hoping this Red Hulk thing ends quickly, and
they get back to publishing Incredible Hulk (not Hulk), with something
interesting, like Planet Hulk was.

Incredible Hulk now has a Hulk-less Bruce Banner fighting with his
genius and training Skaar to kill him when he eventually hulks out
again...which will probably be by the end of the Fall of the Hulks.

As long as people keep buying Red Hulk, they'll keep publishing Red
Hulk.
Tim Turnip
The good news is, Incredible Hulk also continues to be published. It
sucks to have options, doesn't it?

Pak really outdid himself with Planet Hulk, a very Bill
Mantlo-type story, but he apparently overdid himself
with it, as well. World War Hulk was just idiocy
squared, a bad idea from to to bottom, compounded
immeasurably by Pak's idiotic tinkering with the nature of
the Hulk. The perfect recipe for making the Hulk totally
irrelevant. I said so at the time, and, looking at things as
they are now, it sounds as if I actually understated the
case.

I thought it was Doc Samson, but apparently not. But he is evil now.
Ohioguy
>sucks to have options, doesn't it?
I'll have an option as soon as it shows up in the "subscribe to" list
on Marvel.com - currently, the only title there is "Hulk". I can switch
the title over to any title they show on the Marvel website that you can
directly subscribe to. I would have switched it over to She-Hulk, but
alas, they cancelled that title as well.
