    Fall Of The Hulks, here's an "event" that I'm really looking forward to.  Perhaps because it's more self-contained.  Or maybe it's that I'm simply really digging the story.  That's what a good "event" should be about, right?  The story.  Ever since Red Hulk made the scene, the Hulk's world has been turned upside down.  Now throw in the Intelligencia and the game is just about to begin.
     
     
      
    Jeff Parker and Paul Pelletier do a great job in showing us what the Intelligencia is all about.  I don't think it's easy to take a bunch of lame villains and actually make them cool without drastically rewriting all that they're about.  We're seeing that this group has been putting things in motion for some time now.  When it came to the Illuminati and the little rewrites in history, I didn't quite buy it.  The things that the Intellingencia have been up to feels like it could've actually happened.
     
    That being said, the writing and art are great here.  I knew I would be excited for this issue before it came out but it actually exceeded my expectations.  I know (for some reason) people have been a little on the fence over the Red Hulk and the current stories involving the Hulk.  Week after week, the Hulk books are at the top of my list of reading enjoyment.  I can't wait to see what happens next.

    I read this, even though I am not a hulk fan and I gotta say, I wasn't impressed. I really wanted to like it and get back into the whole hulk thing, but it has just made me want to stay away.

    So, all that brain power and Intelligencia is the best name they could come up with???
     
    I have a rather shaky theory that the Red Hulk is some kind of sentient being that can pass to other people through touch. It sort of explains how there are so many different suspects. I seem to remember when Domino was following those people I saw someone shaking hands and that person was followed. I'm not really following it carefully. So, the theory isn't my strongest.

    @FoxxFireArt: I think it's perfect considering how cheesey they all were.  Look at the names they gave themselves.  Also, it's about as bad as "Illuminati."

    I thought that this title was awesome and it was interesting that the Leader was at the helm of this idea of bringing all of these characters together and not Doom. Stern's character seemed inferior to me somehow, I've always seen the Leader as a character who's ego was only trumped by his intelligence. Is the Intelligencia a bad name for this group . . . . yes. It's just lame but it's about suspention of disbelief for me and I'm glad to see that Doom and the Leader could come together like this, It's something that I've always wanted to see, though on a grander scale, like world domination level collaboration. I hate all of these peripheral titles though and at $4 a pop they should all be this relevant, not like Hulk Winter Gard . . . .  Wow what a waist of cash. Anyway, I love the character of the Leader, I loved the book and I'd love to see where all of this is going.

    Who is the red HULK?  
     
    why dont you pick up issue 7 of Hulk.  Its kinda obvi its that guy Stephen who shows up in vegas during the wendigo attack,  with Marlene (who i think is Moon knights ex).  He has wounds in the same spots that wendigos earlier in the same issue bit the Red Hulk. and what drew the Wendigo's out of Canada for the first time?  The guy who ripped one apart, in canada earlier in the issue.  Who's behind it ?  Samson and Ross,  When Red Hulk gets owned in Hulk 6 they are chastising Red Hulk saying we gave you everything.   
     
    Is this really that hard to figure out?  I mean I don't have 20 yrs plus of comic continuity under my belt but i did read the trade and its kinda obvi.  Also Red Hulk is a Shield Operative, Proof?  Check Hulk #3, he gets scanned and authorized by the shield guard bot  when going after bruce/ fighting A-bomb.   
     
    So who is Stephen?  I dunno i dont have enough Hulk continuity to say.  But hes Shield, has equal Shield Clearance with Ross and Samson, Named Stephen, is a weapons expert (favor and glee with the chain gun issue 3/4), ties to Ross, Samson, and Marlene.  Can someone connect these dots?

    @G-Man: 
    I do agree that the Illuminati is a seriously overplayed name in fiction in general. 
     
    I can't take Modok seriously. I keep expecting him to combine with something.

    i didnt like this one when i read it, and now that ive watched your review, i understand why. there where allot of random "revelations" and such tossed into this one to set up the story. 
    ill look into one more, but as i always say, im a plans guy and i hate it when stories are obviously not planed, just acted on. This story is one of those. Its all just created and tossed at you, without any hints or anything to explain them except that they where "secret". Im sorry, buty in comics, nothing is that secret to the readers unless they where just thought of last night. comics cant help but hint at the future unless the writers dont know it yet.
     and ive never understood why Modok was a joke. he was a complete Bad@$$, and then someone wrote him as a silly floating head once and it stuck for like 10 years.

    G-Man - thank you for saying how lame it was that they were trying to pass off the Beyonder as a mutant Inhuman.  That was one of those comics I just tried my best to forget. 
     
    Man - it seems like you really loved this book but it only gets 4.5 out of 5.  How good does a book have to be to get a full 5? 
     
    My $$$ is on Glenn Talbot as Red Hulk.

    Well I did plan and said in my mind that I was pretty sure I was going to get this one shot and excited for this event and not siege because hulk is my favoirte  but I did not get the one shot. Because first of all I prefer hulks gamma and know I am going to like it much more  plus I was expecting more leader in the one shot and some hulk but I was not crazy about the other villians in the comic even thou it is still going to be a nice hulk epic. I am still going get a lot of fall of the hulks starting with gamma I hope and go from there now and so the alpha was not a start for me after all its just a one shot. I dont like red as much so I am still not into red hulk but I like when green hulk and rulk fight togother or same thing with the she hulks in which I cant wait to see too. Only the red side of the story event I wont get but the green hulks as always. Thats why I am getting incredible hulk series right now instead of  hulk.

    So I just gotta ask G-Man... 
     
    Why can't the Beyonder be a mutant inhuman and still also an omnipotent/omniscient/omnipresent being because of it? 
     
    I mean, we've seen some Omega level mutants do some pretty crazy stuff before and due to the Son of M series we know that the terrigen mists could basically turn a kitten meow into a lion roar. Who's to say he wasn't already an Omega level mutant and the mists simply made him transcend to a godlike state?

    I guess the Wizard broke out of captivity pretty quickly? He was just detained a couple of months ago by the FF.
     
    Anyway, thanks for making me want to buy yet another comic, G-Man.

    I liked this issue a lot. It was nice to see the Leader's appearance change threw out the book.
     
    BTW I hope the Red Ghost comes back he gits far to little respect.

    I liked it but it was nothing special...I'm glad we did get some info like how the Red Hulk was created and other little tidbits about the history of this secret villain alliance and how they bail each other out. 
     
    but why do people trust Doom...he is and always will be a wolf in wolfs clothing.Like you I also enjoyed the characterization of MODOK, granted I don't mind Marvel using him as comic relief either.
