Incredible Hulk #607
Marvel Comics
Pak & Pelletier
Fall of the Hulks continues in this issue that sees plenty of action and plot movements. It's a good issue for a number of reasons and chief among them is its accessibility. I attribute this to the writer, as Greg Pak has command of the characters, the story and making sure it provides something for the new reader and the experienced one. The artwork is exceptional which helps to round out a very good comic book.
Media Release -- Marvel is pleased to announce that Incredible Hulk #606 and Hulk #19 have sold out at Diamond (though copies may still be available at retail level), continuing the trend of Fall of The Hulks immediate sell outs, and will return with the Incredible Hulk #606 Second Printing Variant & Hulk #19 Second Printing Variant! From the powerhouse Hulk creative team of Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness & the acclaimed Incredible Hulk team of Greg Pak and Paul Pelletier, the most explosive Hulk event ever gets bigger! Hulk #19 Second Printing Variant and Incredible Hulk #606 Second Printing Variant arrive with new covers featuring the stunning interior art of McGuinness and Pelletier, respectively.

Fall of the Hulks Gamma #1
Marvel Comics
Loeb & Romita Jr
This one-shot, titled Gamma, sets up the final battle among the conspiracies that have eaten up the Hulk titles for over a year now. The comic makes sense of all of the seeming nonsense that has gone on since the red Hulk first debuted. It's actually a pretty good comic. The nagging question coming out of this story is whether or not this sets up a reason to follow the Fall of the Hulks storyline in the coming months and this might reveal a 'yes'.
Media Release -- Marvel is pleased to announce Fall Of The Hulks Alpha has sold out at Diamond (though copies may still be available at retail level) and will return with a red (and green) hot NYEE variant cover made available on December 30th, Marvel's New Year's Eve Eve Party! Fan-favorite creators Jeff Parker and Paul Pelletier orchestrate the downfall of Marvel's strongest group of heroes and villains, The Hulks! Fall Of The Hulks Alpha kicks off the biggest Hulk Event yet in the Marvel U and reveals the origins of some of Marvel's most maniacal villains!

Fall of the Hulks Alpha #1
Marvel Comics
Parker & Pelletier
Fall of the Hulks Alpha marks the opening of the Hulk crossover and event for the next few months. If you haven't followed Hulk much lately you'll find there are a lot of characters running around the two titles (Hulk and Incredible Hulk) that seem to have similar powers as the Hulk. Many of them go by some variation of the name Hulk or are some sort of offspring of the original green Hulk. I suppose it only makes sense to put together some sort of storyline that involves taking them all down. This issue may mark the beginning but contains virtually none of any of the Hulks. In some ways this makes the comic that much better. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this comic as the thought of another Hulk event had me rolling my eyes when I read the solicitation a few months ago. This comic was enjoyable enough that I may actually stick around to find out what happens in the next issue.
