Incredible Hulk #629 Review

Hulk’s Roman holiday comes to an end. Today I will be reviewing Incredible Hulk #629. Please leave a comment to let me know what you think.

So let’s talk about the book. Hulk and Red She-Hulk are battling the stone colossus created by Tyrranus. After Hulk is batted away, Red goes to him and transforms back into Betty. The two reunite and declare their love for each other. Hulk, however, instead of leaving, goes to save Rome from Tyrranus. After he smashes his toy, Tyrranus breaks Pandora’s Box and unleashes the hope entity within it. Using his wits, Banner manages to absorb the entity and save everyone. Too bad it costs him Betty who turns back into Red She-Hulk and leaves with Tyrranus. And that’s the book.

So let’s talk opinions. This was an amazing issue and a great story arc and I’m sad to see it end. We really got to see some nice Hulk smashing action in these issues as well as some good emotional storytelling. When Betty and Bruce finally got together, only to lose each other again because of the Hulk, it really makes you understand just how sad the Hulk’s life is. He can never get what he wants because the Hulk, in one way or another, will be there to take it away from him. Story of his life, but I digress. Back to this issue. The action was once again hot and heavy. I love Cho and his sarcastic witticisms. I thought the way Banner dealt with the Hope entity was pretty cool. Does that mean the entity is now part of the Hulk? Is Hulk now the beacon of Hope? Will that be used to beat the Worthy in Fear Itself? (Hope does beat Fear every time) Once again, the art was excellent. Lots of big panels and huge, in your face, action scenes. (Still not happy with Hulk’s face though. We really need to improve on that.) Also, the stone colossus looked pretty cool too. A great issue in general. Keep up the great work. That’s my opinion folks. Take it or leave it.

Incredible Hulk #628 Review

Tagged with: Greg Pak  Incredible HulkIncredible Hulk #628

The Hulks go to war with the Knights of Rome. Today I will be reviewing Incredible Hulk #628. Please leave a comment to let me know what you think.

So let’s talk about the book. After a bit of regrouping, the Hulks go after the Knights of Rome, who take the kidnapped doctor and Tyrannus to a flying magically protected fortress. The Knights use magic and create a magical bird that attacks Hulk. Hulk, however, gets angry and manages to overpower the bird and smash it to pieces. Tyrannus, however, has a plan of his own. While everyone is celebrating, Tyrannus attacks their captor and steals their magic for himself, transforming the flying ship into a huge monster. And that’s the book.

So let’s talk opinions. Amazing. That final image of Tyrranus as a giant colossus clutching the Hulk while Rome is laid out beneath him is stunning. The fight scenes where breathtaking. Really big with bold colors. My one little complaint was that in the first few pages, the Hulk’s face was a bit more neanderthacal than I would like. The story was pretty cool too. It was nice to see Hulk go up against a magical entity and actually win this time around. (Of course, the last time it was Zeus so the ass whupping he received then was understandable.) It was also very cool to see both Bruce and Betty as well as Hulk and She-Hulk get back together. These two have stood the test of time over the last fifty years and it’s nice that Marvel hasn’t completely given up on this pairing. I’m also gaining more and more respect for Tyrannus as a villain. He is definitely crafty and devious. He knows how to take advantage of a situation. He reeks confidence. All excellent villain qualities. Another thing that was good was the inclusion of humor and Amadeus Cho. (Not enough though, if you ask me.) Like I’ve said numerous times before, humor improves the quality and pacing of any comic. This issue in particular was perfectly paced. A great read from cover to cover. That’s my opinion folks. Take it or leave it.

Incredible Hulk #627 Review

Tagged with: Greg Pak  Incredible HulkIncredible Hulk #627

The Hulk goes out on a date in gorgeous Rome, Italy. Today I will be reviewing Incredible Hulk #627. Please leave a comment to let me know what you think.

So let’s talk about the book. Bruce, using the aid of a hot scientist, tracks down Tyrannus and Pandora’s box. However, his main concern is Betty. He lets her know about her transformation issue, to which she immediately transforms into Red She-Hulk. Tyrannus prepares to open the urn, even after the scientist tells him that it can cause unknown, irreparable damage to the earth. That’s when all hell breaks loose. A bunch of guys calling themselves the Knights of Rome attack and steal Tyrannus, the scientist, and the Urn. With no other options left, Hulk and Red She-Hulk decide to team up. And that’s the book.

So let’s talk opinions. Now this is more like it. What an awesome cover. The rage and fury practically leaps off the page.Throughout the book, the art continues to impress. Big, beautiful panels with clear vivid images adorn every page. Rome looks amazing. (I’ve been there and the images actually brought back some fond memories) The fight scenes were well drawn and the females were very hot. Artistic perfection, at least for me. The story was pretty good. I loved the added humor that Amadeus Cho brings to the title. Banner’s straight man to Cho’s sarcasm is a perfect mix. The Bond references were a nice touch as well. Once again, I Wikipedia’d the Knight of Rome but couldn’t find anything about them. Seems that it’s obscure character month in the Hulk library. Overall, we had nice plot progression and character growth. It seems that Betty is not only accepting her situation but craving it. I like that progression from the damsel in distress that she used to be waaaaay back when. Also, it’s good to see Hulk lose a battle where strength or brains were not an option. It just came down to desire and that’s something the Hulk cannot fight. I do miss the heavy smashing action sequences but hopefully those will return soon. Other than that, a great read. That’s my opinion folks. Take it or leave it.

Incredible Hulk #626 Review

Incredible Hulk #626

Bruce and Betty have a night out on the town. Today I will be reviewing Incredible Hulk #626. Please leave a comment to let me know what you think.

So let’s talk about the book. Bruce want to try and repair his marriage, but an issue arises when he visits Amadeus Cho. Turns out Betty might be forced to stay as Red She Hulk if she keeps transforming. With Cho’s help, Banner tracks Betty to Italy. When he arrives, he sees Betty with his old enemy Tyrannus. (?) This causes him to get jealous and Hulk out which was Betty and Tyrannus’ plan all along. Tricking him, the two manage to steal an ancient artifact. Pandora’s Box. And that’s the book.

So let’s talk opinions. First of all, let’s talk art. When I first saw the cover, my heart sank. After the incredible covers and art over the last year, if this was the new direction, I was going to be severely pissed. Thank god the interiors were the usual spectacular stuff that we have been blessed with. Nice big pages and images that are clear and beautiful to look at. While there wasn’t that much action to draw, the people were drawn quite well. As for the story, it was all right. When I first saw the villain, I honestly had to Wikipedia him. I’ve been a Hulk collector off and on but I have never actually heard of Tyrannus. Turns out he’s been around since 1963. (Go figure) The story was nice. Its very admirable that Bruce is trying to repair his marriage. He has loved Betty since day one and its nice to see that he still does after all these years. He still gets jealous and he will do anything to protect her. That is an amazing character trait that the Hulk has always had. I’m glad that Marvel has never chosen to play with that trait as it it the core of the character. It was also really good to see Amadeus Cho. (My favorite new character in Marvel’s stable. He really needs his own title.) Cho adds humor and adolescence to an otherwise stiff comic. I hope he stays around for a while. Overall, a nice beginning to a new story arc. That’s my opinion folks. Take it or leave it.
