[UnfluffyBunny]

trying not to threadjack so very quick summary...
Loki tried to break thor by convincing him that deadpool was his son and the hammer had chosen him over thor (turns out deadpool had a fake hammer mjolnir and the real one was invisible

Haven't been to a comic book shop in more than a year (can't get them in China) so I pick up Hulk 5 at my old hangout.  This was complete trash.  I'm not a Thor fan and I don't care if he gets his butt kicked, but this was just stupid on too many levels.

Hulk's book now is complete TRASH.  I use it in the bathroom when I am out of Charmin.  Look, Ed McGuinness's artwork is a marvel, but it is being wasted here.  This book sucks in every way possible.  The characters are all one-note cardboard cutouts of themselves.  The characterization is way off.  This is not Hulk: Gray and the characters need to stop being written as if it is still that time period in the Hulk's history.  The Incredible Hulk was "gravage" and the ruler of a planet.  He was a freaking KING!  After the mostly awesome Planet Hulk storyline he goes right back to the status quo of Bruce turning into the Hulk when he is stressed and the old "hulk Smash" baby talking!?  What is going on here?  I gave them 5 issues to try to explain and try to win me over, but it is not happening.  Where is the build up?  The mystery of who the Red Hulk is has not been solved and there are red herrings all over the place.  Bruce is a baby talker again for explained reason and Rick Jones is the baby talking A-Bomb. (probably so named because he is not smart enough to even say Abomination).  I can't take it.  I feel stupider for continuing to read this garbage and insulted by Marvel that after the World War Hulk that they feel fans wanted this.  You know, with BND and now this it seems that the only idea that is popular at the "house of Ideas" is to hit the rewind button on their characters as opposed to letting them breathe and evolve.

so, i read spoilers that thor beat hulk this issue...pretty lamely. And Rulkie's identity is STILL unknown. Why do people keep supporting this book. Let Loeb go and let Hulk go back to good stories.

MJB will not purchase a copy of any issue of this book.

Why? None of your business, that's why!!

I enjoyed it quite a bit.  I thought it was a fun read.   :P

[thanoson]

Yeah, Thor got some creds back in this one. Hulk too, though, why is Hulk baby talk again?

[Previsionary]

I dunno if you can say either got too much credit back. Rulkie was still a threat to Hulk until near the end of the book and Thor interrupted the fight, got in some quick hits, and Hulk finished it out. Imo, it proves to serve that Rulkie can take on two big threats and still be able to fight for 20 pages until overheated or w/e. And I have a fundamental problem with a book being only able to go on based on a character's secret, artificial drama, and fighting just to fight. Of course, Loeb worked in his famous twists by having three people know who Rulkie is and placing one of those peeps on a even darker path. Yay. -_-

Also, why have none of you guys pointed out how OOC Namor was in this book? He may be more mature now...but he's nowhere near that kind and last I remember...Ironman and Namor still have issues.
