Hulk #38 Fear Itself

[jakefury]

Writer: Jeff Parker
"Planet Of Fear Part 2"

Features: Red Hulk, Zero/One, MODOK & Black Fog

Last issue we saw Rulk taking a stand against the Worthy possessed Ben Grimm in NYC. This issue picks up where that left off as Rulk is trying to recover from Grimm dropping Avengers Tower on him. He's definitely on the ropes and to make matters worse Grimm hits him with a hammer shot that sends him flying into Vermont. From this point on it's all about the Rulk's villains taking a stand against Sin's invasion forces.

MODOK teams up with Black Fog, Zero/One and Zzzaaaxx to put a serious hurting on Sin's shock troopers. They all seem to be delighting in the havoc they're wreaking and with this issue's great art team its fun to watch. Parker definitely takes an interesting route with this story as it's told from primarily the villains side of things.

Thoughts:
I love what Parker is doing with this series, Thunderbolt Ross and the cast of villains. It only makes sense that Rulk has his own rogues gallery and Parker has created a good one with quite a bit of variety. This book has been great since Parker took over and this one is no exception.

8/10

*****As a new feature of my reviews I'm going to begin a featuring section that lists some of the major characters in each comic.*****

Wow, it sounds like Parker's really turned this into a quality series. Good review, I'll pick up the first part and follow up with this one.

Parker and his team do an incredible job.

I'm stunned.

When I read a comics I focus on the art / design. Big Thanks to Hardman, Breitweiser, Casagrande and co...
I like a lot their stuff.

We are at the opposite side of the Loeb Force. Red Hulk doesn't fight against all the marvel universe in order to prove his power. It was boring...Red hulk had a chubby style...no way.

With Parker he has his foes...he does a lot of travel...(yes I like Planet Hulk and Planet red hulk...) like FF (Byrne era / Negative Zone).

Hulk of Arabia was cool. Parker tries to create new bad guy...new country. So the reader is surprised. Red Hulk follows some ways...goes in some cities that was never discovered by another heroes or villains.

He tries to use some B-characters like Machine Man...

Parker doesn't play easy like for example:"Yeah RULK + GHOST RIDER versus LATVERIA in order to find cosmic cube"

Thanks to this team.
