Rated T+
Hulk #12 turns the series in a dire direction as the lurking threat of Titan comes back in a big way. Ottley's pacing, dialog, and buildup of suspense are executed beautifully, and the art is excellent. Some readers may be disappointed by the explanation of Titan's origin, but everything else works.

If you haven't jumped back into Hulk since Immortal Hulk ended, now feels like a good time. Read Full Review
Hulk #12 delivers the next issue of Hulk's life on the gamma planet. Everything feels like paradise for Bruce but trouble stirs as he worries that the Titan entity will strike somehow and Monolith only adds more to his plate of worries. Ryan Ottley's art continues to be a major selling point for the series and the writing is right on the money with Bruce, Monolith, and the rest of the story. Considering how this issue ends, there's going to be a lot of trouble for the Hulk to deal with next issue. Read Full Review
Wow... I didn't think Cates feels Hulk that good.
The same creative setup as last issue delivers a much juicier payoff when Donny Cates steps in to bring all the plot-chickens home to roost.
It makes all the difference in the world, keeping the pace up and creating a rising sense of tension. The art still looks solid and it functions as a fine-tuned storytelling tool along with the script.
Personally, the most important distinction between this issue and the last is that, after finishing this one, I'm eager to see what happens next.
A definite step-up from the previous issue. My main concern with the last issue was the dialogue/scripts, and that improved a bunch here. Plus, the story itself was great. Bruce compartmentalizing himself and his trauma is something that this series has done well. Ottley is able to draw Bruce's father in almost a frightening way that does a great job of conveying how Bruce sees him. I hope the series can maintain this quality until its conclusion, as this was pretty good.
love it.
Cates helped with the story on this one, and you can really tell. There's a whole bunch on progression on that front. I feel a lot more confident that they'll be able to wrap this up in a couple more issues now.
