Sales'll suffer in the longterm. I'd really rather Marvel release one high-quality issue of a series in a given month than stretch themselves thin with multiple art teams tripping over each other and each writer having not nearly the lead time needed. (Although hey, I'm sure that being paid by the page, those writers may not precisely be complaining. Two issues a month = double the $$.)

I also think that Rucka and Williams caught lightning in a bottle with the earlier arc in 'TEC. Can Williams do it again solo, or rather with a lesser-known writer such as Blackman? From the #0 preview I remain unconvinced. I guess time will tell...
Hey, doesn't Nighthawk look kinda...big...compared to two heavies like She-Hulk and Frankenstein's Monster?

Hey Ron & co.--thanks for mentioning my article again, and as always, great work! I'll admit, I didn't like #23--there were still some things that irked me and you can read all about that on my own blog, Delusional Honesty (link in my profile!). I too agree that the Red Hulk saga Loeb crafted was better than he was immediately given credit for. Sure, some pieces just don't fit in the larger Hulk mythos, but casual readers won't catch it. That said, the majority of the continuity holds up, and it's a fun story.
As for the trades: 1) Hulk: Red Hulk, 2) Hulk: Red & Green, 3) Hulk: Hulk No More, 4) Hulk Vs. X-Force, 5) Hulk: Fall of the Hulks, and the upcoming 6) Hulk: World War Hulks. The last 2 crossover with the Greg Pak-written volumes bearing much the same name (but "Incredible" is a part of their names). And don't forget Jeff Parker and Gabriel Hardman have just begun their own run on the Red Hulk with HULK #25, which is getting some acclaim around the web.
Toodles!
~Gary, the biggest Hulk fan Ron knows!
@KingHulkMarco - I do find that bit of "Hulk folklore" hard to swallow, especially given that the pencil sketch of Red Hulk that's shown as McG's "first" rendition of the character is mustache-free. I've never seen the #1 cover with the 'stache, and until I do, I might have to file the idea under "Hulk hooey."
Missing Link, eh? I miss ol' Linc. Haven't seen him since ROM #29.
