Personally I like that Red Hulk is going to join the Avengers. I'd have prefered if Bruce Banner joined, but oh well. Now the Avengers will almost have their original line-up; Iron Man, Thor, Cap and now a Hulk.

Sweet I like it

Some of characters (like Iron Man and Thor) already got their butts handed to them by Red Hulk. I can't see them all getting along playing volleyball in their spare time. 

Dislikes.

I would say that he'll ruin it, but the current Avengers series is crap anyway so....

I read some of the whole Red Hulk stuff and thought he art was very good but thats about it. The story itself was so cartoony and oddly enough seems like if someone was making a Hulk movie, they would do something weird like this. The character itself reminds me of Grey Hulk, sly and on the bad side. 
 
We will see how he is written here, Bendis has a way to take characters people don't tend to want or need and plop them in Avengers books. *cough*sentry*cough* 
 
We don't even know if this is just an arc that he is in or he is officially joining the team, which I would doubt.

I'm not crazy about it and I hope that Red Hulk on the team is temporary, but I have a feeling that he is going to stay on the team for a while.

BTW, since Rulk is Gen. Ross, could he be the new temporary leader of the avengers in the present, since the leaders are in the future?

I don't like Red Hulk at all. There should only be one Hulk :)

" I don't like Red Hulk at all. There IS only one Hulk :) "

Something tells me "Rulk" will not be a team player. 
 
Can someone tell me what happens to General Ross's moustache when he hulks out? He should keep it and paint over it like Ceasar Romero did as the Joker.

this...is odd, i don't think it will last long i think every single member will start butting heads with rulk, but who knows, we'll jus have to wait and see

They should stop calling him Red Hulk and just call him Thunderbolt and he should have been a Dark Avenger.

It probably is for a six part story arc with them having some differences (from Red Hulk) and leave in not such a good way. 

" Personally I like that Red Hulk is going to join the Avengers. I'd have prefered if Bruce Banner joined, but oh well. Now the Avengers will almost have their original line-up; Iron Man, Thor, Cap and now a Hulk. "

My big question is will Red Hulk's Loebforce is gonna get downgraded or upgraded by the Power Bendis? All joking aside, I think this'll be cool. It's definitely different, and I like different from time to time. Should definitely make for a decent to good story, at least it better.

*kanye shrug* I guess we will just have to wait and see

i hate Red Hulk

The only decent thing about the HULK series is the art by Ed McGuinness. This book is being drawn by John Romita Jr. So the only appealing thing about reading a comic about the Red Hulk (the awesome art) doesn't apply to Avengers. Couple that with the fact that Bendis will almost definitely get his characterization wrong (even though it's a pretty simple character) and I don't see the Avengers title doing very well at all. 
 
Kind of ridiculous that they put the worst artist on what is supposed to be the main Avengers book while Secret and New Avengers get Deodato and Immomen.

Nit-picky, I know, but Captain America wasn't part of the original line-up.  I don't like Red Hulk--hate the idea of him--but I also don't like that many of the Avengers sound interchangeable when Bendis writes them (not all but quite a few).  I think adding him to the team will definitely change the dynamic and infuse some energy into the book. "

So will Rulk be a totally innocent and guileless virgin that Tony can buy ponies for?
 

I think the bigger deal here is that Bendis is actually writing a Hulk character in the 616 universe.  In his ten years at Marvel, how many times has Bendis written the Hulk or included him in a story?

I just don't like Red Hulk.
He's everything in a character I don't like.

Both of them will be returning the favour shortly.
 

 

I presume they will short out any differences they may have by the time Avengers # 7 hits the shelves. "

Thadeus thunderbolt Ross is red hulk? cool

"They should stop calling him Red Hulk and just call him Thunderbolt... "

might be cool. rulk smash!

Is it just me or is Red Hulk just the Marvel knock-off of DC's General Eiling?

I like Rulk especially after reading Hulk #24. I'm glad they have plans for him outside is book. Putting him on the Avengers did seem odd at first, but after giving it some thought, I think adding such a controversial character into the mix is a good idea, if done right. 
 
Still, it's not enough for me to pick up the series, Secret Avengers is enough for me. ^_^

I think Steve Rodgers will want Rulk to be apart of his Heroic Age, a world run by multiply Avenger teams. Its a good idea since Rulk tried to run the country his way !! So Steve must like something about Ross's methods  
Thanks for the link to my Post btw G-Man. Appreciated  

Never read the whole Red Hulk story line. And Avengers has been getting stale, so I think adding Red Hulk would bring a new dynamic to the team and create an interesting plot. If only Bendis would just stop with the back and forth banters and witticism between the characters that make up 3/4 of the dialogue of every issue.
 
By the way, they need to explain why Thunderbolt Ross LOSES his mustache when he turns into Red Hulk, and then grows it back when he becomes human again. I hope Tony Stark does some research on that.

I'm liking it. This should make for some very interesting stories.

WOW!  This sounds killer.

As long as no member of the team gets punked and embarrassed by Red Hulk, or as long as Thor is there to stop it and lay Red Hulk a smack down, I have no problem with it. I'm sure nobody wants to see any of their favorite characters treated so ridiculously like that again.
 
In fact, I hope when Red Hulk joins the team, he gets put in his place. That could make for an interesting dynamic, especially if he tries to take charge too.

i think this is a terrible idea, because originally Red Hulk was beating the crap out of Avengers left right and center, then the next minute he is joining them!!
