    Green Flurry

    A team of scientists awaken Fin Fang Foom and he rampages on their facility in an effort to make Hulk as his new host to rebuild his strength.

    Plus

    This issue that features a fantasy fight between two green titans in Hulk and Fin Fang Foom is something readers or collectors would want in their library. The cover art is great which will make this comic a valuable addition to any reader's collection. The layout was cleanly done and so was the artwork for the environment. In addition to the short story, there is a profile for the two featured characters which is a great plus for this comic. Lastly, the first appearance of Fin Fang Foom in Strangle Tales #89 is reprinted at the end which is another awesome bonus.

    Minus

    The art inside the comic is not even close to the art on the cover which might make people who get this issue feel cheated and misled. The drawing is great, but the artists could've done a better job at it, especially with the characters' faces. The set-up leading to the fight was hardly believable and it could've been done in another way. Also, the actual fight didn't really live up to my expectations. It was great, but it could've been better with more action and if it had ended differently.

    Final Score

    Don't let the cover art fool you. This is a great comic to have in your collection if it were only for the cover art, but you will not love this issue for its flimsy plot and unimpressive artwork. Originally planned to give it 2 stars, but the bonuses for this issue is worth one more because it adds collection value. 3/5 stars.
