Is Kluh Marvel's New Breakout Character?


There was a lot to love in Hulk #30, a one-shot by Jeff Parker featuring both Hulks taking on a series of Jack Kirby-esque monsters. Above all was the introduction of a new white Hulk named Kluh.

Yes, that’s Hulk backwards.

Kluh appears from an otherworldly portal to take on Hulk and is savage-looking from head to toe, but uses an Old-English form of speaking. It was incredibly funny because the character is more savage looking than either the red or green Hulks, but his dialect is perfectly proper.

“I find thine complementary color scheme most foul. Begone villain!” says Kluh as he punches a composite Hulk (just read it) into the stratosphere. I think Parker can mine much more humor from this ridiculous character who I am hoping doesn’t stay gone for too long a time.
