5.0 out of 5 stars Smashing, November 25, 2010

This review is from: Hulk, Vol. 3: Hulk No More (Paperback)

The Hulk, Dr. Strange, the Surfer, Namor, Baron Mordo, Tiger Shark, Terrax, the Red Hulk, Grandmaster, and the Collector is a pretty good line up. Plus Galactus, Dormammu, and the Psycho Man even put in appearances. It's the standard contest of the Elders of the Universe playing a game of super human chess. I never get tired of it. Terrax should have his own series. I'm always pleased to see Tiger Shark in his orginal costume. Give him one of the trillion Wolverine books. A lot of people piss on the Red Hulk (including me) but to be honest, I like big dudes who pummel opponents. I don't need a lot of character development or motivation. The only thing I want from a Hulk movie is 90 minutes of Hulk Smash. With this book, you get a lot of Smash. I dig it.

This review is from: Hulk - Volume 3: Hulk No More (Hulk (Marvel)) (Hardcover)

I've grown a fan of the Rulk and the overcharged and understaffed Marvel Universe in which he was placed in the previous two volumes. This latest volume is lacking all of the umph. The cockiness and ruthless aggression the Rulk demonstrated and the legions that united just to fall at his feet has been replaced by some marginal Mxyzptlk plot battle royal. The pairings were lacking, the plot was lacking, and the ultimate bailout from every uninspired creative writing class at your local community college, at the end everything is undone, like it never happened. I am not a fan. I'm hoping volume IV will usher in She-Rulk and bring back the beat downs that made this a flagship of the Hulk armada.

***SPOILERS***

Okay there are two stories in this trade paperback and we're going to touch on both of them.

So this comic starts out really goofy. The Hulk is in a mini-universe inside an atom and if that right there doesn't make you put this comic down right away then stay tuned, cuz it gets even more ridiculous. The Hulk's wife/girlfriend/roommate is killed and the Hulk is offered a chance to have her brought back to life if he can get a group of other heroes together and fight with him in a kind of gladiatorial style combat and have them win. Why? Cuz I guess two brothers who happened to be gods just happened to be bored and made a lame bet.

All the Hulk's allies are pulled from different points in time in the 616 universe from the exact point when they lost a loved one and they are given the same promise that the Hulk is given. Win, and your loved ones will be brought back to life good as new. It doesn't work and all the fighters are returned to their respective points in time with all memories of these events removed. This story is just dumb and pointless since it technically never happened.

The second story was about the Red Hulk draining all of the Hulk's gamma energy so he can't turn into the hulk and all of his powers are taken away (which we all know isn't going to last). Then we are treated to a guest appearance of a 4th rate Iron Man villain, enter Modok! This sad waste of ink ranks on the same level of stupidity and incompetence as Stilt Man, The Ringer and Super-Skrull. All of which are just professional punching bags and only show up when the writers need someone for the heroes to knock out. I really have no idea why Modok is here, but apparently he's there for the same reason that She-Hulk, Spiderman and Aeres show up, to boost sales.

This comic is just lame! We have one story that didn't need to be written since it technically never happened and another that just has random guest stars showing up because the writers apparently can't write a story good enough to interest the Hulk fans. Instead they rely on the readers of other comics to buy this comic cuz we'll put characters in our comic that they usually buy and hope that they stick with our comic. That's just lazy writing.

Plus this story uses a plot twist that has been done to DEATH. Let's try and de-power the Hulk... AGAIN!!! Okay, this has been done at least a dozen times, and it NEVER lasts. I mean seriously, how can you have a book called The Incredible Hulk, if there is no Hulk? So we all know that in 5 or 10 issues at the most he'll be back.

Don't waste your money.
