SMASH!
This issue won't go down as deep writing, but it was fun.
So that pesky A.I.M. is up to their old tricks, and plan on reviving a giant robot (see the cover) called The Quintronic Man. They need five people to pilot it, and one man is left, a Professor Burke.
A.I.M. captures him, but surprise surprise they accidentally got someone else. Someone big, green, and angry. Then all hell breaks loose, as Hulk and Shield go in for the attack.
We get to meet the new science team in the issue as well, and Hulk's new "sidekick" R.O.B........sort of. This led to a funny ending of the issue.
I dig the artwork in this issue, and Francis Yu is doing a great job. One thing that kind of bugs me though is the armor that Hulk wears in the cover. He wore that in issue 2, but he doesn't wear that here. Same artist, so why include it?
The A.R. was short and sweet. We get a Hulk recap from the cover, the same one we got last month. Then in the middle when Hulk makes his first appearance, we get a short interview from Mark Waid telling us what to expect from the series. Good enough.
I think this is the best issue of the series so far. This is the best Hulk series in a long time. I'm not sure it should be a $4 book honestly, but at least it is only once a month so far. I'm enjoying this.
