Bruce Banner is not the Hulk! Red Hulk's rampage rolls on through the Marvel Universe, and no one, not even the Amazing Spider-Man, Silver Surfer, the Sub-Mariner, Doctor Strange, Doc Samson, Norman Osborn, or She-Hulk can stop him!

The Defenders #2

Matt Fraction and the Dodsons continue their introduction of a new team of Defenders in this series spining off of "Fear Itself".  With enough background information in its first page for new readers before jumping into the action, this issue gives each member of the team a turn to take the spotlight; again, to acclimate newcomers.  Here's the thing: in trying to follow the typical formula, this story did not add the right ingredients.  How come it was so easy for the Defenders to win their second confrontation with their enemies, when they got beat so easily the first time?  There was no extra help, they were hurt, and had even less of an advantage than before. And this has nothing to with with the "resilience of human nature" or any of that stuff; it was not inferred at any point.  The presence of Silver Surfer in this team still does not make sense; it is difficult making someone so powerful seem weak.  Iron Fist is cool, though.

The Defenders #1

Just when you think Marvel cannot saturate the market with yet another event tie-in, a line in page number two of this book says it all: "It can always get worse."  A new iteration of the classic team is born from the aftermath of "Fear Itself" in an attempt to milk the event cow to its last drop.  Written by Matt Fraction, this group comes together to stop a creature that embodies all the negative aspects of the Hulk.  Namor and Doctor Strange's motivations to help out go in direct contradiction to their actions prior to "World War Hulk"; where was that empathy when you decided to shoot the Hulk off planet?  Silver Surfer is a character I don't fully understand, so I don't know why he is joining the team; it certainly looks like is due to the fact that he arrived to Earth five minutes ago, which is a tired plot used to death with the herald of Galactus.  And this new She-Hulk is one of the most redundant-have-no-reason-for-it characters to ever exist.  I will be seriously offended if this title gets past issue #8 while Alpha Flight gets cancelled.
