More supernatural stuff for Rulk to punch, and while I enjoyed this issue, I didn’t like it as much as other previous instalments because I had no idea who these ‘Forgiven’ people were. I got that they are kind of like reformed Vampires, but where had they appeared before? Is this something from Peter David’s Hulk run or what? They looked very 90s to me. I guess I’ll have to do some research because it looks like they’ll be showing up again soon. I did like Red Hulk’s stubborn refusal to stop and think things through in this issue, it was refreshing to see a character just go ‘NO!’ and fight through, a nice character detail. I also liked that Parker tied this story in with the Hulk Of Arabia one, with the ghost of the former friend who died in that arc coming back to haunt Rulk. Pagulayan’s art was great, he probably draws the 2nd best Rulk after Ed McGuinness. Also, where was Machine Man! He needs to be in every issue of this book, he rocks.
