Minors and Minotaurs – as Well as Masks, Monsters, Militants – in an Immortal Hulk #28

Today's Immortal Hulk #28 sees a spilling over of recent moves by Brue Banner to smash the world and remake it in the Hulk's image, going after Roxxon Industries. Bur how does all this affect folks on the ground? We meet a Roxxon security guard and his daughter, who are growing apart. A conservative reactionary father and an anarchic social justice warrior of a daughter. With piercings and everything.

• Are your children normal? Are they respectful of you and other approved authority figures? Do they have a poster of the Punisher on their wall?
•  Or are they angry and discourteous? Do they embrace difficult and/or dangerous concepts, such as protest and the environment? Do they stand with the Hulk?
•  Ask yourself: Are your children normal… or have they joined the TEEN BRIGADE?

Immortal Hulk #28 and Captain America #17 are published by Marvel Comics today in all good comic shops.
