Red Hulk #17 Review RULK SUCKS
Red Hulk #17 review: The Day After Thanksgiving means a few things in American society: 1) Black Friday sales and 2) Taking several dumps in the toilet. Somehow both are related to RULK. I read RULK, the RED HULK #17 by Jeph Loeb and Ian Churchill today! Here’s my review:
Doc Samson is a bad guy. He and Rulk work for the same people, but it appears THEY find Rulk expendable (don’t we all). Samson and Rulk fight with Domino, Punisher, Elektra, Silver Sable, Wolverine (don’t know if that was Logan or his son, sorry), and other mercenary types in the mix. She-Rulk hates Male Rulk.
The Good
- I saw the word “Conclusion” in the title.
The Bad
- No Conclusion here.
- Just more of the same: Random betrayals, random battles, one-liners, nothing revealed. Who is Rulk? Who is She-Rulk? (By the way, without the whole “Who is Red Hulk” marketing campaign, this comic book would get no Internet coverage.)
- Rulk is a good guy now. Yup. Seems like he wants to clean up this country since Green Hulk declared war on the world in the World War Hulk storyline from a few years ago. The fact that Rulk crippled, destroyed, and murdered in the previous issues is kinda forgotten now.
- Took 5 minutes to read, but would have taken 3 minutes if not so wordy. Jeph Loeb pulled an Obama this time: a whole lot was said, but in the end, nothing was said. Did the plot advance? What is the plot?
- Silver Sable got jobbed out. She NEVER would be on her knees and let Domino hold a gun to her head and be intimidated like that in her appearances in late 1980’s/1990’s Spider-Man comics. What is Loeb smoking?
- I hate Marvel mercenaries. They are sooooooo 1990-late. Give me DC’s Deathstoke the Terminator any day of the week.
How many times did YOU go to the bathroom the day after Thanksgiving?
I know, I know… you don’t want to hear how bad Rulk is. Just buy it, I mean he’s RED and drawn by IAN CHURCHILL!

Dare I say that Rulk was funner when he was an unbeatable bad ass?
He seems to be a milksop now…maybe he is Banner.
Most terrible portrayal of Silver Sable of all time. Seriously- 100% out of character.
17 Red Hulk issues and it still seems out of continuity.
