Hulk #1 Review: This One is Intriguing
With an intriguing new science-fiction take on the storied monstrous concept, Hulk #1 brings forth an unexpected antagonist and twists the property in what seems like a new direction. Oddly enough, given the events of the horror-themed previous series, this is a smart continuation, not a reboot.
The Hulk has caused great concern for Doctor Strange, and the most powerful heroes of the Marvel Universe after an incident in El Paso led to fatalities. Bruce Banner has put his mind to a solution for this, and … well, it's different. As revealed in this issue, he plans to make sure the Hulk is controllable and won't be a problem for anyone. The question is, along the way, how much damage is acceptable to complete this plan?
Donny Cates has developed an innovative concept that relies heavily on the deep explorations of the Hulk's psyche and how his functional immortality works from Immortal Hulk. That's no mean feat given the drastic thematic shift this series represents, so that deserves some credit. Likewise, the strong visual presentation of Ryan Ottley, Frank Martin, and Cory Petit invoke the Dale Keown era and is a great visual contemporary to some of the Javier Garron Avengers run as well.
The ideas are big and bold, but the execution doesn't give you quite enough plot, nor a number of plot points that are unlike what has been done before. The car's going in an interesting direction, but it hasn't gotten quite far enough to say it's going well. RATING: HONORABLE MENTION.
