    I like Parkers run much more. He's given Ross his own cast and made the book intelligent and meaningful, as well redeemed much of what the public did not like about Loebs, even rationalizing a lot of it, as opposed to sily as Lobe did. Mind you I'm one who enjoyed Leobs run and thought it wrapped up pretty well, but it had a few flaws and Jeph at time didn't seem to be taking things seriously, the Offenders arc especially (he had a tragedy and some other problems though noted at the time of this). His Red Hulk was played mostly as the antigen to Banner, which didn't really work for a solo character. It would be like making X-23 about X-23 fighting Wolverine and his arch enemies or same goes for Daken. Parkers is a smart book. Looooove the hell out of Annie and Zero/One BTW.

    Not at all. Ross was a more interesting character as a normal human.

    It was a stupid idea to make Ross a Hulk and I'm still wondering why he hasn't went away yet. It's gone on too long and every time I see Rulk in an Avengers book it grates on me. I don't care who writes him and I don't care how many years Marvel tries to shove Rulk down people's throat, far as I feel about it I don't like that character and never will.

    Have 1 Hulk again and be done with this dumb Hulk family crap.

    No I personally like the Hulk family idea. I do enjoy the Rulk because of the differnce of the two. Hulk has excessive strength but head rushes into things and don't get me wrong that worked well for him most of the time. While Rulk uses more tactics and strategy and is more wtitty the big green. I mean Hulk asked if Rulk was the Hulk's Hulk? that justifies Rulk to me enough said. But I agree that we could lose A-Bomb and Hulks kids and just keep the big Four in my mind.
