If you look at this preview that IGN put up they introduce somebody who is not a Hulk, using a big gun like She-Rulk, and who's wearing a similar outfit to She-Rulk, only without the rips and tears. I wonder if this means we'll be seeing a TF.

http://media.comics.ign.com/media/021/021370/img_6986322.htmlWow this is complete trite.
Loeb has decided to go after "Well what about a character like Domino whose powers don't revolve around beating opponents through sheer strength or speed?"
Also: "OH HEY I'M ALSO SUPER SMART NOW"God I hate Rulk.
July 27, 2009 at 9:34 pm #85620Don JackParticipantRulk has always been smart.
Also, it isn't official that she's She-Rulk. It's just one theory.
July 28, 2009 at 12:40 am #85621Prophet TenebraeParticipantOh, sure – you can say of pretty much all big characters like Batman, Superman, The Hulk etc. have had that. It's pretty much inevitable given the time the characters have been around. The problem She-Hulk has is, there isn't anything that can be seen as… a definitive She-Hulk. With the Hulk, most people would quickly turn to the "Hulk smash" before they went into the Green Scar, Mr. Fixit, Professor etc. Those are of course, aspects – but there's an iconic quality to the aforementioned. I mean, we've had a whole mess of Batmans but people will probably always hold up the brooding Dark Knight Bob Kane type interpretation.
She-Hulk just doesn't have that. There's no quintessential She-Hulk costume or character… Although, I suppose we've moved closer to that of late… With the purple and white unitard and She-Hulk being a bad ass brawler… with quipping!
And Domino… well, the MYSTERY OF THE SHE-RULK! Will presumably run for a while and do what the original issues with Rulk did and introduce a number of potential suspects. I hope that Loeb manages to do a better job a second time round… scant hope.

http://media.comics.ign.com/media/021/021370/img_6986322.htmlHa ha, that would be awesome. Pluck a third tier character and give her an in-continuity reboot. Given the bombastic slant of Loeb's Rulk stuff, a Red She Hulk should at least have some fun artwork. And who knows, maybe a tf to rival the Ultimate Wolverine vs Hulk. So why not?
It's going to be awhile before the Jen Walters She Hulk gets another shot at a series. Sorry, but that's the facts; a book generally doesn't get renewed right after a sustained plummet in the sales charts. Peter David's run on the book lost me after the third issue, and UWvH issue five and six were migraines sold as pulp fiction. How bad could it could a She Rulk be in comparison?

<ouch> That's sad but true. I guess it's a testament to the character that after her book tanked, they made TWO more She-Hulks.
I hold no hopes for Loeb's story in general, but hopefully the Red She-Hulk part will be fun. At least there will be a buff female character.
As for her identity, it does look like a shield uniform to me. The gloves aren't domino's, but are close to those of shield agent. And, the streaks in the hair remind me of Contessa Valentina Allegro De Fontaine (Nick Fury's GF and former Deputy Directory of Shield).
She was recently a Skrull captive, so might be prime for something like being the Red She-Hulk. I have no idea why someone with the Power of a Red Hulk would carry a weapon, and both Red Hulk and Red She-Hulk do so. But, someone who has trained and relied upon weapons all their life … might find it hard to give up.
But then, I've thought that the Red Hulk was Clay Quatermain from the start (#2 was Ross). Quartermain was on the heli-carrier when the Red Hulk appeared, and has the access that the Red Hulk has shown to have.
Certainly in the Domino shots, Red Hulk's alter ego seems to have spiky blond hair….
July 28, 2009 at 9:54 am #85624DavidParticipantI'm just kinda pissed that Ian Churchill is doing the art in #14. I've never really been fond of his art.

And I hope that Barbara Fletcher knocks on my door and announce her undying love for me. But it ain't gonna happen 😉

July 28, 2009 at 11:58 am #85627Prophet TenebraeParticipantUsing my patented bullshit translator – Loeb is saying something along the lines of "I haven't got a clue where this story is going, I'll be throwing in a lot of twists which are at best random and often nonsensical – not to mention that no one is going to bother checking continuity, so expect plot aspects to be raised and dropped arbitrarily. Red She-Hulk is just going to be cheese cake for the sake of it – any chance at character development is pretty small."
