COMICS: RED HULK Becomes RED SHE HULK This October

It's not yet clear what this will mean for the Red Hulk (who recently joined the Avengers and has become something of a fan-favourite character), but his solo title is set to be renamed with Betty Ross' Red She Hulk taking over as of October's #58.

Red Hulk (or "Rulk" as he's sometimes referred to by fans) didn't start off as the most popular of characters, but ol' General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross has since made quite an impact with his own solo series and roles in both Avengers and Avenging Spider-Man. In some ways, he's actually taken the place of the original Green Skinned Goliath, with major roles in the likes of Avengers Vs. X-Men. As the upcoming Marvel NOW! relaunch draws closer, it looks as if the publishers may be getting ready to take him out of the spotlight. This October, Hulk becomes Red She Hulk as of #58. The series will be written by Jeff Parker with art from Carlo Pagulayan on art. According to reports from the "Marvel's Next Big Thing" panel at the San Diego Comic-Con, "Red She Hulk (Betty Ross) will be on a mission for an as-yet-unrevealed organization that puts her at odds with the rest of the Marvel universe." How do you guys feel about this decision? Sound off with your thoughts in the usual place.

JDUKE25 - 7/12/2012, 5:46 PM
Lmao how dumb.

@marvel72 agreed
ATrueHero1987 - 7/12/2012, 5:47 PM
Fan favorite?? O_o......please
scruffylookingnerfherder - 7/12/2012, 5:48 PM
They need to do more colored Hulks.
MrsTonyStark0507 - 7/12/2012, 5:51 PM
That title has me cracking up. First a gay green lantern, now the red hulk is getting a sex change! What is the world of comic books coming to?

Hehehe...
Joe6Pack74 - 7/12/2012, 5:58 PM
Where are all the transvestite comic book characters?
marvel72 - 7/12/2012, 5:58 PM
@ starscream9289

there was a time when red hulk comics sold more than the incredible hulk.
Asterisk - 7/12/2012, 6:00 PM
I love the Red Hulk. But maybe in a ironic way.
googleplex - 7/12/2012, 6:04 PM
yeah maybe a little better wording for the title next time. i mean did this writer really not notice the double meaning in his title?
CharlesTheIncredible - 7/12/2012, 6:09 PM
Fan favorite? Since when? Ive heard hes been written as a better character than when he first debuted, but I hated Rulk and stopped buying those Hulk issues one I saw him punch out Uatu
GLprime2814 - 7/12/2012, 6:19 PM
Can't wait for the rainbow hulk brigade to come out.
Alvahnomicron - 7/12/2012, 6:22 PM
Not a Red Hulk fan. Would've made a great one shot, a la "What If", but laaame as a mainstream character. Even dumber to make Betty a red She Hulk. Can we just have maybe a 365 day stretch where things are status-f$ckin'-quo in ANYBODY'S comic universe?!
CrashTest - 7/12/2012, 6:25 PM
Who is a fan of the Red Hulk? Hulk Smash him already! I can delay with Betty and Skarr but Ross needs to go.
ATrueHero1987 - 7/12/2012, 6:25 PM
idk why Marvel wants the heroes supporting cast to become heroes as well (Flash=Venom, Betty Ross=Red She Hulk, Pepper=Rescue)
OrganizedChaos - 7/12/2012, 6:26 PM
too many hulk characters these days. just go back to what we want?
CrashTest - 7/12/2012, 6:27 PM
Deal*

When they started the Red Hulk, the mystery was cool. Him as a Villain, Cool, Red Hulk as a Hero????? no. If any character should have been killed off it should have been him.
StarSpangledBruce - 7/12/2012, 6:28 PM

monstermaniac - 7/12/2012, 6:40 PM
I seriously wonder why they don't put the original Hulk back on the Avengers. Is there a legitimate reason?
ComicBookGoth - 7/12/2012, 6:41 PM
id like him if he had the Trademark ThunderBolt Ross Stache


MrXer0 - 7/12/2012, 6:52 PM
I think I'll try to avoid this one

Finally, something fans have been asking for years!

Next thing you'll know is they're will be a whole spectrum of hulks...
GUNSMITH - 7/12/2012, 7:03 PM
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE RICK JONES BECOMING A RED ABOMINATION AND STILL HAVE CONTROL TO CHANGE AT WILL, THAT WOULD BE COOL. THAT A BOMB CHARACTER, BLUE.
musashi - 7/12/2012, 7:25 PM
I dont like the Red Hulks. It takes away from the Green Hulks.

Can someone please tell me why Red She Hulk (Betty) and Green Hulk (Bruce) aren't a couple? Haven't read Hulk since Peter David left.
BuckyCap - 7/12/2012, 7:26 PM
Red Hulk is the reason I stopped reading Hulk. Can we please kill him and the red She-Hulk and then NEVER talk about them again?
storyteller - 7/12/2012, 7:26 PM
Marvel no one gives a damn about Betty Ross and the Red She Hulk. We are not going to buy this comic to read Betty deal with her vagina issues.

You have a perfectly functional She Hulk that we actually like.

The truth is Marvel is trying to force this character on us so they can sale their Hulk Agents of Smash series.
johnfinley - 7/12/2012, 7:28 PM
Stupid. Lazy. Marvel.

Seems they have become interchangeable.
mctrinket - 7/12/2012, 8:25 PM
Yes! Give Rulk the brostache! Do it! Make it epic Marvel, come on!
gaikinger - 7/12/2012, 8:33 PM
Can Scott Campbell draw it? If Campbell or Deadoto were on it i'd pick it up. Make it sexy!
JustDame - 7/12/2012, 8:35 PM
Rulk should be the strongest muthaphucka in the MU, how he handled every character on Loeb's run. I'm not sure if they depowered him in that last 40 issues or whatever but he should be handling the Phoenix Five also.
StarkAnthony - 7/12/2012, 8:55 PM
I think the explanation is that his facial hair (including eyebrows) doesn't grow as his face expands, so it seems to recede into his face.
MarkV - 7/12/2012, 9:06 PM
SO VERY LAME
Chamber - 7/12/2012, 10:17 PM
All I can say is this, I hope her transformations rip her clothes and for heaven's sake, let her be a little funny!!!!
gaikinger - 7/12/2012, 10:26 PM
The stash...perhaps because his face and head multiply in size and shape his facial hair spreads out or is pulled back into the folicle....thats alot of stash though huh?...yeah i dont know either.
gaikinger - 7/12/2012, 10:28 PM
Red Hulk would be bald with the above explanations that I and i just noticed StarkAnthony suggest. That short military flattop would get sucked right up.
gaikinger - 7/12/2012, 10:29 PM
Sam Elliot has the greatest stash known to man!
gaikinger - 7/12/2012, 10:31 PM
if their was ever a mustash war, i would arm myself with Sam Elliots stash and rule the world.
Jordanstine - 7/12/2012, 10:53 PM
Keep the HULK family GREEN!

What's next Blue Hulk? Orange Hulk?

In 10 years there's going to be the Rainbow Hulk and be part of the Hulk Lantern Corps.
jimoakley666 - 7/12/2012, 11:41 PM
Green Hulk only or [frick] off.
Ichaos - 7/13/2012, 12:13 AM
hmmm that floating head kind of picture at the top is such a cliche
SamHell - 7/13/2012, 1:44 AM
theres only one
Rage2099 - 7/13/2012, 3:00 AM
red hulk is a great character and fitting end to the thunderbolt ross story if they kill him off now they will only bring thunderbolt back in some other lame way. they should improve the artwork in his solo title but im happy with his other plot lines. i will give red she hulk a try
pepe - 7/13/2012, 3:48 AM
There´s to many Hulks in the Bat-cave... Kill of RULK!
spidey23435 - 7/13/2012, 4:58 AM
I have collected this series from issue one, there were some times early on when I thought about dropping the title but the character seems to have found niche now. I cannot see me continuing on with Betty Ross (Red She Hulk)I will give it a few issues most likely but the red she hulk cameos in the Hulk series have been some of my least favorite parts.
CrowPirate1 - 7/13/2012, 5:47 AM
He gets the cut and snip?

well, at least he gets some cool leather clothes
AlcoholicA - 7/13/2012, 6:12 AM
The Red Hulk series is actually far more interesting that the Green Hulk series. And if they're gonna do Red She-Hulk, can we get some Dodson art instead? hehe
SteveRogersSon - 7/13/2012, 6:29 AM
Good looking art...Horrible characters~!

HULK IS GREEN...THERE IS NO HULK FAMILY BEYOND GREEN SHE HULK. DAMN YOU LOEB!
ISeeStupidPeople - 7/13/2012, 7:11 AM
I liked Red She Hulk in the few appearances I saw her in, but Red Hulk can [frick] off.
lils588 - 7/14/2012, 3:45 PM
