  Jae Lee is one of the main reasons why I didn't leave this book on the shelf, as Bruce Jones' work on his final issues of the Hulk left me truly disappointed, that I would've been willing to ignore the fanboyish devotion to the promise of a Hulk/Thing slugfest. However, Jae Lee is one of the best artists working in the industry and while he's not the first name that comes to mind when I think of an artist I want on board when it comes to the delivery of a big slugfest between the heavyweights of the Marvel Universe, I have to say the cover image to this issue certainly does a convincing job of selling the idea that he's up to the task. I also have to say I love the fact that Jae Lee's Thing looks different from the typical appearance, as if nothing else it's nice to see an artist with a different take on the character's established look. One also has to love that final page shot of the Hulk. Read Full Review
