Following the chart-topping epic from Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness’ on Hulk, Jeff Parker and Gabriel Hardman take the reins in Hulk #25! This all-new creative team will shine new light on one of the most talked about characters in comics today, Red Hulk, in a smashing tale of redemption and rage!

“This is a true dream team for me.” explains Mark Paniccia, Senior Editor, “Jeff, Gabriel and Elizabeth [Breitweiser] are some of the most talented creators in the industry and the book couldn’t be in better hands.”

Jeff Parker, new Hulk writer, echoes those sentiments, “Hardman and I are ready to step up to the big show and take you and Big Red to wild new territory. In short, we want to bring the sense of danger and discovery that Kirby and Lee did in the early 60′s now– to give you a true 21st Century Hulk.”

New series artist Gabriel Hardman adds, “We’re going to bring a different sensibility to Red Hulk while still delivering the same huge impact as the guys who started this book!”

You can’t miss the debut of Hulk #25 this September, when Parker and Hardman unleash the Red Hulk!

A lot of places are reporting the fact that Mark Ruffalo will be replacing Edward Norton in the upcoming ‘Avengers’ film (and probably all future Marvel Studios releases that feature Bruce Banner). The first was Nikki Frinke over at The Deadline, who in all fairness broke the scoop back on July 14.

As of this posting, the official announcement hasn’t been made at SDCC, but everyone is reporting it as a done deal.

Mark Ruffalo will be the third actor in as many movies to play Bruce Banner. Eric Bana played the role in the 2003 ‘Hulk’ directed by Ang Lee. Edward Norton took over the role for 2008’s ‘The Incredible Hulk’, which was directed by Louis Leterrier.

Ruffalo’s first appearance as Banner will probably be in ‘The Avengers” which will be directed by Joss Whedon and released some time in 2012.

It’s another month, and another episode of the Incredible Hulkcast is coming at you. Ryan and Luke review World War Hulks 1, Hulked Out Heroes 1 and 2, Fall of the Hulks: Red Hulk 4, Fall of the Hulks: Savage She-Hulks 2, and Realm of Kings: Son of Hulk 3.  The boys also review the Heart of the Atom and Essential Rampaging Hulk vol. 2 collections. As an added bonus, try to identify the exact moment in the episode where Luke cracks.  I bet you can do it!  Yes, he really needs a vacation.

I was going to write a test message using Green Hulk language “Hulk Test!!” but thought would be a bit on the stupid side, so I decided to just write a very quick something about The Incredible Hulk.

Then, I saw this from Flickr. It is a picture of an Incredible Hulk birthday cake. It would have been really cool if it was actually a picture from Ryan or Luke that I didn’t know about, but this random cake is just as cool.

On DeviantArt, Brian Denham did a really cool picture of Green Hulk in a style that I haven’t seen him use before. He says he draws like this in his sketchbook all the time. If that’s the case, I hope he starts selling his sketchbook to the public.
