Hulk vs. Wolverine! Hulk vs. Thing! The conclusion of STAY ANGRY! What devious plan has Banner been up to?
From what I can gather, this "Stay Angry" storyline has provided a plethora of strange matchups for the Hulk and ample writing opportunities for Aaron, but this issue is a magnificent encapsulation of the essence of a good Hulk story: smashing, monsters, heroes and more smashing. Needless to say, it matched, and actually exceeded, the expectations I had set before cracking this book open. I'll be back to check on the results of "Incredible Hulk" #12's cliffhanger last page and I sure hope Jason Aaron brings Carlos Pacheco back with him. Read Full Review
This arc was beginning to drag, but luckily Aaron sticks the landing as he paves the way for his final showdown between Hulk and Banner. With only a handful of issues remaining in this run, it's doubtful slow pacing will be a recurring complaint now. Read Full Review
Overall, while the issue kind of invalidated (or rather just made it seem less important) most of what we saw Hulk go through for four issues, it was, on its own, a strong chapter in this title with great action and great artwork. Looking back, if you just wanted to take this entire arc as an example of Hulk given the opportunity to smash things in new locales, then it would have been overtly successful, and overall, a simply fun arc to read. The issue doesn't end without giving us a big cliffhanger, though, and I'm more than happy to see what's coming in the next few months as Jason Aaron closes out his run with the character.

Well, it sure is pretty, but in the end, it's an issue largely composed of meaningless punching. Read Full Review
