In a Red Hulk comic, one might anticipate extensive destruction and rampages in red. However, surprisingly, the first issue of the new Marvel series for Red Hulk does not follow this pattern. Given that Harrison Ford is set to play Red Hulk in Captain America: Brave New World, there’s been a lot of interest in the character lately, which Marvel is capitalizing on by launching a new Red Hulk series. The debut issue so far has done an impressive job delving into the thoughts of Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross and gradually building towards a confrontation between Red Hulk and Doctor Doom.
As a passionate Marvel enthusiast, diving into issue #1 of the Red Hulk comic series, I was immediately drawn into the “One World Under Doom” storyline. Instead of getting lost in excessive backstory about Doctor Doom’s antics, this comic focuses on why he has captured Red Hulk and what he’s been using him for. Occasionally, there are action sequences played out through virtual settings, but the Red Hulk remains largely in the shadows. Instead, we delve deeper into General Ross’s character, and it feels satisfying rather than disjointed because Red Hulk is ever-present as a menacing figure in the background.
Geoff Shaw, Bryan Valenza, and Cory Petit combine forces to create a powerful artistic team in this comic series. The action sequences are deliberately kept sparse, allowing for a focus on subtler moments like Thaddeus Ross cleaning up in an aircraft restroom or his covert communication with fellow prisoners using Morse code. Each panel is skillfully executed and visually appealing. Readers eagerly anticipate the next chapter as Ross plans his escape and prepares to confront Doom for vengeance. Benjamin Percy masterfully delves into the thoughts of Ross/Red Hulk, revealing his strategic intellect and problem-solving skills that rank among the best.
The team assisting Red Hulk hails from less well-known areas within the Marvel Universe. However, the dynamics between these characters and Red Hulk could provide a mix of approaches. As a man, Red Hulk embodies military discipline, while Deathlok and Machine Man have a background in combat but are also tech-savvy. In situations where he needs help to escape, Red Hulk may employ them as tools, much like Doctor Doom does with his technology. This is one way he differs from Doctor Doom, as their methods may be similar, but Red Hulk’s primary focus is on survival and escape.
As the situation reaches a peak, it concludes, and that’s exactly what Red Hulk #1 manages to achieve – leaving readers eager for more. Red Hulk wouldn’t need its Doctor Doom link to be successful, but Victor Von Doom certainly makes an outstanding opponent.
