How do you solve problem like the Rulk?

Attention True Believers! This is a call to action. As may already know, the Marvel Universe is under siege by a horrible blight known as the Red Hulk, or 'Rulk.' This monument to stupidity has destroyed any goodwill that Greg Pak created within the Hulk titles after the fantastic Planet Hulk and World War Hulk. Incredible Hulk #600 came and went, and we are none the wiser as to who the Red abomination to comic-dom is. And now, in an effrontery to common sense and good taste, the Rulk family is being expanded with the edition of the Red She-Hulk. (wait for face twitching to subside...)

We, the offended comic buying fans, need to do something to bring this horrendous nightmare to an end. This is an open call to all who are put off by the ridiuclousness of the Rulk, and to those of you who have subsequently dropped the title, to post in the comments of this very blog entry your feelings, protests, or detailed descriptions of solutions to the 'Rulk Problem.' Have fun with it. Maybe Jeph Loeb or Joe Quesada himself will wake up and smell the gamma rays and give us back the old Green Goliath! Let your voice be heard!
If the response to this is good enough, I'll repost the best ideas later. Make 'em good!

New BONE, Hulk 600, Wyoming

Pretty excited about this Newsarama report from SDCC, Jeff Smith has new Bone stuff coming out. I've read all of the trades and my sister is a huge fan. Smith never fails to entertain, and his work on Bone is always some of his best.

In other news, I borrowed a copy of Incredible Hulk #600 to read, (and according to my humble poll, most of you will either buy a copy or borrow one) I was fairly unimpressed overall, considering the hype. Sure it had a little bit of everything -- Spider-Man, M.O.D.O.K. is always fun, She-Hulk, Ben Urich, a requisite Stan Lee nonsensical story complete with Galactus cameo-- but ultimately I was just disappointed with the whole package. Way too short on new, relevant material. On top of all that, it doesn't help that Red Hulk appearances generally make my skin itch.

Lastly, an update on the status of this blog and its blogger. Much like when Thor relocated Asgard to the middle of Oklahoma, so too the Beta Ray Blog will be relocating its headquarters to the Equality State (Wyoming). As a result of this, new content here on the BRB will be sporadic at best until sometime in September, when I will return with renewed vigor. Thanks to everyone who visits and reads this blog. Don't worry, I will live again!

Hulk #600 poll

I have been getting a lot of traffic recently due to people searching for Incredible Hulk #600 due out July 22. So, I was curious to know some of the opinions surrounding this controversial issue. Check out my poll to the right and vote. I'll post the results. I'm curious as to how people feel about this book, so I'll probably do a few poll questions until the issue comes out, so keep watching this space and vote!
