Lessons learned
Another amazing cover by Carlo Pagulayan!!
It´s the Dark Son conclusion and this issue has it´s all: great action, touching dialogues and a reckoning end. Pak uses Banner more in this issue for his intellect, instead of Hulk´s strenght and power, leaving that for Skaar. Brother´s fighting each other is a concept that goes way back, but Skaar, despite all the previous banter, was in fact really trying to save and convert Hiro Kala into goodness, what, sadly, was a little late, since madness took his mind completely. Hiro Kala´s punishment by the Worldmind will prove in the future if he will become a better person or will continue to be a villain. It was good to see Banner and Betty reconect, even for a little while, before Hulk´s grief spoils it. Losing a child will be a hard task for Hulk to overcome, specially he couldn´t kill Hiro Kala in the last issue. I guess this arc was very important for Hulk´s image with heroes community and specially with US government, and the fact that he saved Earth in the end will add some good points for him. Kitson´s art was ok too.
