I don't know about you, but I don't see too much struggle in figuring out this new Hulk persona. Hulk #8 was an excellent transition into Jen trying to figure out the kind of hero she wants to be. Sure she turned down the hero life, but that was always to be short-lived. ‘Let The Eat Cake' part two is the start of a return to form that you know will also still have bumps in the road consider this isn't She-Hulk we're dealing with anymore.

Hulk #8 isn't the strongest psychological issue compared to the rest of the series, but is still a good set-up to allow readers to feel invested in the current arc. Read Full Review
Overall, Walters is back in the hero game and entering a scenario than she knows headfirst. Where this street drug will lead to remains to be seen for this story arc. However, this creative team is keeping the readers at attention. Read Full Review
Mariko Tamaki's setup a monster mash, but things are more in the early decorating phase with this issue. Read Full Review
Hulk continues its new direction and I don't like it, not after the brilliance we saw in the beginning. The issue itself is perfectly fun and could even be enjoyable if this is what you want from Mariko Tamaki's Hulk, but I personally still feel like it's a total reversal from what she showed us she was capable of in the beginning.

A step up for the series, even if it feels nothing like the issues that came before it. Read Full Review
The series has little sense of momentum at the momentum, and maybe it's just as well that it's getting relaunched and re-branded for Marvel Legacy in a few months. Read Full Review
Continues being more depressing and decompressing. Art not near as pleasing as issue #1.
Some detective work with her assistant gives Jen a good handle on what's happened to baking guy Oliver. This issue really shows the perils of decompression. Mariko Tamaki's script runs in a large circle with weak scene transitions and a confusing chronology. Georges Duarte's art offers similar frustrations. He uses computer trickery to create his settings, and the results are impressive; he's got a real talent for perspective and blocking. Where he attempts to imitate Nico Leon's character work, though, he gets into trouble. His visuals are on firmer ground the closer Jen is to Hulking out. That makes him an imperfect fit for her current "hesitant hero" situation.
This was possible the worst comic book I've ever read.
