Hulk #16 Deadpool McGuinness Variant Cover
Hulk #16 continues the Code Red story by Jeph Loeb and Ian Churchill. As you may know, Red Hulk recruited a team of deadly heroes including Deadpool, Punisher, Elektra and more to capture Domino after she discovered his secret. Domino brought in her X-Force pals to help her out and a battle ensued. During this battle, we saw the debut of... Red She-Hulk. The question remains, who side will she be on?
Issue #16 will be on sale October 28, 2009. It's written by Jeph Loeb with art and cover by Ian Churchill. Ed McGuinness provides the Deadpool variant cover (seen above).
I have to say that the Hulk series has been a fun ride, emphasis on fun. I'm loving the mystery of who is Red Hulk and now we have Red She-Hulk. Is it a bit much? Maybe, but who cares. Part of me doesn't want to find out who he is, Red She-Hulk also, for that matter. I've always been a Hulk fan and I've been enjoying seeing a different take on the idea. If we can have several spider-type characters or feral-mutant type characters, what's the big deal about seeing different Hulk-type characters? I'm going to enjoy this while it lasts.
Has #1-12 been collected in a trade or hardcover yet? I know it's a dumb question. Guess I can look it up...
Stab in the dark, is She-Rulk Domino
Here me out she has the guns, the black leathery uniform and some big arse knives eh,eh??
That sorta seems likely but her eye-spot is missing. Not that it would necessarily have to be there. In the last issue, she and Elektra were fighting. Maybe this Red She-Hulk came across them both and took Domino's gun and Elektra's sai.
Maybe the Red She-Hulk is a combination of Elektra and Domino. They must have combined when the "Spoiler" Red Hulk's team attacked them and the bar, where they were fighting, exploded.
" She-Rulk?! WHY? "Because Jeph Loeb makes me smile. The Red Hulk book is popcorn popping fun!
I still say she's a bizarre Domino-Elektra-Thundra composite. She has:
Dom's leather outfit & an automatic weapon;
Elektra's sai; and
Thundra's huge muscles & general physique.
" @G-Man: @inferiorego: -SIGH- Loeb has lost his mind. I've said it before, can't blame him. Even since he lost his son his writing has been a bit out of whack but this is just getting stupid. He should retire before any great stories he's written get over shadow by his c&@p stories. "I hated Hulk for a while, but read every issue. But his writing is the comic form of an Arnold movie, pure explosive fun. And I'm actually liking how in the newest Hulk issue Loeb is slowly making Red Hulk less of a villain.
"I hated Hulk for a while, but read every issue. But his writing is the comic form of an Arnold movie, pure explosive fun. And I'm actually liking how in the newest Hulk issue Loeb is slowly making Red Hulk less of a villain. "That's actually a really good way of summing it up. I've only bought the last couple of issues because of X-Force's involvement (even though I knew it wouldn't be anything ground-breaking continuity wise). And compared to the main X-Force title there isn't the usual finesse, pacing or time for characterisation... But if you start to think of it in terms of a giant action packed blockbuster movie then it makes perfect sense! And makes it a lot more easier to read.
On a separate note, I'm tired of the Loeb-bashing. Unless someone has suffered the death of a child, then they don't really have grounds to comment on his tragic family history. I wouldn't wish that on anyone!

"wouldn't be surprised if you were right. Either Red Hulk captures them or collects some DNA samples for AIM, hair blood whatever. Mix it together with Jen Walters as the base and "voila!!"

" @inferiorego: Aw man, that made me sad. It's like Rulk already is crazy powerful but now all the sudden he can suck Gamma powers right out of people? Why didn't he do that the first time they fought or the times he fought She-Hulk. It seems like Loeb is just adding powers as he writes. Honestly I think Rulk has potential, I'd just love to see some other writers take him up. First choice would be Greg Pak. The way he writes Hulk-related characters is amazing. I think under a new helm Rulk could be incredible. "I agree with the Pak point. Incredible Hulk right now is a really interesting read, and it's all based off of Loeb's writing from 600
I got in on all this a bit late in the game but I've been enjoying all I've been reading. It has actually prompted my brother to go to a comic book store, something he's not done for a long time. He's into this too. It's fun, I like guessing who Red Hulk might be and now a Red She-Hulk, why not?
I think some people are GREEN with envy they didn't think of something like this. The kick in the pants the Hulk stories have needed.
Will there be a yellow hulk, then blue hulk, then violet hulk, then orange hulk, then indigo hulk, then a giant event with a black hulk who is a resurrected Captain America? Cause I'd buy those comics.
There already is a Blue Hulk. He appears on the last page of Red Hulk's comics.

There's also been a Blue Hulk in issue one of the latest Strange Tales volume. He just burbled and made strange noises :p

Red Hulk = OK; Red She-Hulk = COME ON MAN!
I mean is too, too.... "perfect". We got a Hulk and a She-Hulk. Then Red Hulks arive, so let's make a Red She-hulk! - I love symmetry but COME ON!!
*FACEPALM* And there goes Loeb to make Deadpool sound like sh*t, just like everything else he's written recently. *Points to Ultimatum*
