    Hulk #9 I would say is a bit of a fast read, but it gets straight to the point here that this is all leading to what will be an unfortunate encounter. No one asks to become a monster, and yet that can happen to people who don't deserve it. When you are Oliver, you don't have the human features of someone gamma radiated. This book has been great for the depth it has given to this corner of the world where you find yourself dealt with the worst of hands. Read Full Review

    We're seeing more of Jen Walters out and about and although it's good to get her out of her head, I'm also eager to see Walters back to dealing with her own trauma and the little things she has to do to keep her anxiety under control. Those are the elements that really drove me to checking out this title, and after Jen finally gets a hold of Ollie and helps, here's hoping we can get back to that inner struggle. Read Full Review

    The Hulk story I don't particularly like continues to inch along accomplishing little, but at least this issue gets a little thematic. Read Full Review

    It's really the same story month after month with this book. The general status quo and psychological approach are compelling, but the lack of momentum and forward progress has really started to hold the series back. Read Full Review

    Newsarama - Kat Calamia

    Hulk #9 has slow plot progression, the artwork is inconsistent, and it lacks the great character depth presented in previous installments, focusing too much on side characters and not enough on the book's main star. Read Full Review

    This run is SO boring. This dark new status of Jen could be done WAY more interesting and fun. The return of Brad and Hellcat bumped up the score a smidge.

    The Hulk puts a fright into the scumbags who dosed Oliver with MGH, but Oli is still on the loose. The big-picture plot continues to shamble along like Man-Thing with a flat tire. Ms. Tamaki lards the script with too many naturalistic but ultimately inconsequential conversations. A talent for replicating small talk *absolutely can not* substitute for dramatic plot or character development. Add in a horrific case of fill-in-artist mismatch and you've got a pretty disappointing issue.
