I don't think Bendis did anything interesting for Iron Fist.

Brubaker and Fraction did a ton though

Word. The first 12 issues of Immortal Iron Fist were solid gold.

Too bad I had to drop the series due to my personal comics budget.

Plus, the Iron Fist mafia game rocked as well.

Nah, Bendis just said "I like this guy" and put him into what was (at the time, arguably) Marvel's highest-profile book.

Never read the Brubaker/Fraction stuff, but I'll get to it.

Red Hulk hasn't really been a villain since halfway though Loeb's Hulk. Yeah, he fought Hulk after that but that was more like a personal grudge thing. They teamed up by Hulk #18.

Anyway, if you want to check out Loeb's Hulk trades, I would go with the following:

Hulk Vol. 1: Red Hulk (If you haven't read it and want to know how Red Hulk got started, or if you like other heroes jobbing)
Hulk Vol. 4: Hulk vs X-Force

If you can find Incredible Hulk #600 as a single I would pick it up, other wise you end up getting some craptastic filler issues along with it in the Hulk vol. 3 trade.

After Hulk vs X-Force is Fall of the Hulks and World War Hulks. Decent.

the hulk event isn't over till they wrap up about skaar's twin hiro...

Yep. "Dark Son" is coming up though!

Hulk is the Eddie Murphy of the Marvel universe with all of these kids popping up everywhere.

Does anyone else think that the Red Hulk is going to be less effective than he was before with everyone knowing that he is Ross? Yea, he is strong and durable, but he was able to beat Thor, Hulk and others because he had prior knowledge to who they were and their skills. Ross really had the element of surprise on his side because nobody knew anything about him when they fought. Now that the superhero commuity has a gauge of his power and the way he thinks and fights, will he come off as a weaker character?

There will be a third!

Sounds like more books I need to let you borrow. You'll get to read Nightly News someday, promise.

You'll know that when he gets beaten by Squirrel Girl next week. :knockedou

Why doesn't Red Hulk have a Mustache? I want a Rulk Mustache!

Spider-Woman did a pretty quick turn though. Cage was framed, which I believe is a key element of his back story.

Neither of them spent their time right before joining the Avengers fighting other superheroes and engaging in villainous activities, is my point.

But please, if you have copies of issues where Spider-Woman, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage are fighting against the Avengers, Thor, etc. and then joining up with the Avengers the next year or so? By all means, give me the issue numbers*.

* Anyone that mentions Civil War will be summarily sacked, of course.

I agree with you, I was just pointing out that some of Bendis' favorite characters were while maybe not villans of Doom's calibur still have that bad-boy flavor.

I'd say that this picture clinches it.

I'd say that's just yet another example of how Iron Man is awesome

Just because Rulk can walk through Thor, Silver Surfer, blah blah blah, doesn't mean he can match Tony in a fist fight.

That Tony Stark... he'd try to mate with anyone.
