Rated T+
It could be argued that for years, Doom has fallen behind when it comes to being a villain, with others trying to steal his crown. But in One World Under Doom, particularly Red Hulk Issue 1, Victor is reclaiming that throne and staying on it. Read Full Review
Red Hulk #1 is in great company with the other comics that have come out of the One World Under Doom event. So far, everything I've read has been a lot of fun with a great bit of excitement throughout the comics, and Red Hulk is no exception. Read Full Review
Overall, Red Hulk #1 is a promising start to a new chapter for the character. It's a brutal and intriguing story that blends action, suspense, and intellectual conflict effectively. The combination of Red Hulk's raw power with the strategic maneuvering of the imprisoned minds creates a compelling dynamic that promises a thrilling ride. Fans of the Red Hulk, Doctor Doom, and high-stakes action will likely find this series engaging. Read Full Review
Red Hulk #1 is a solid debut. I'm sucked in and want to see what happens next with the prison escape and how this rather odd group works, or doesn't, together to achieve their goals. I'm sure there's a lot more surprises to come and right now, I'm here for it. Read Full Review
By the end of Red Hulk #1, you'll be invested in the motley crew that makes up Doom's prisoners. You'll want to see how they might break out and how they'll interact since they're largely stuck in their own cells. Benjamin Percy's gritty, horror-tinged storytelling and Geoff Shaw's kinetic artwork converge to transform confinement into a crucible for rebellion, where every panel pulses with the promise of imminent chaos.

In the larger context of One World Under Doom, Red Hulk #1 suggests itself as an important tie-in. Percy sets the escaped prisoners up to be an internal threat to Doom, and in doing so adds tension and urgency that has not been present for many of the tie-in issues to this point. This is further enhanced by detailed and vivid artwork. Where other tie-ins to One World Under Doom are obviously tangential to the event at best, Red Hulk #1 is a must read for those interested in the broader event. Read Full Review
Red Hulk #1 has the makings of a fairly engaging prison break story. Ben Percy assembles an unusual cast of inmates to partner with General Ross, and the execution is gripping. Plus, the art is pretty darn good. That said, the setup is lacking, the prison is woefully insecure for a Doom prison, and a comic billed as a One World Under Doom tie-in is a tie-in in name only.

We get into the head of Thaddeus Ross, but find little explication of his mindset or the breadth of the new Marvel Universe, but what we get is pretty solid. I just don't have a lot of interest in Ross or the Red Hulk. Read Full Review

This comic serves as a support for the ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM event and begins by showing General Thaddeus Ross locked in a prison and imagining different scenarios where as Red Hulk he can cause chaos between nations and wars that shake the peace of continents and thus flourish Latveria. Doctor Doom has him locked up without being able to use his powers with the objective of creating different plans for world control taking advantage of Ross's strategic intellect.
Ross is tortured physically and mentally by Doom, this is affecting him emotionally and he is about to give up, until he discovers that he is locked up with Deathlock, Machine Man, General Riker and Hugo Perez (leader of the Hook Cartel), all of them are like a more
