So close to a five for me. I love Jason Aaron's take on this character and the direction this book is going. It stands out on its own and is not in the shadow of Greg Pak's run. Banner works so well as the antagonist in this book, and I love the ending of this issue, which I will not spoil here. Although Silvestri is not the artist on this issue, Whilce Portacio takes over and does a heck of a job. On the bad side of things, there were a few panels where I hated the art, mainly on facial expressions. They were distorted and ugly. Lastly, I have no clue why Amanda Von Doom is in this issue. She just doesn't help progress or do anything within the story. Overall, again, this is my favorite ongoing Marvel book, and I can't recommend this book enough. Read Full Review

In general, the story has to pick up, or this might not be as successful a renumbering gimmick as everyone hoped. Read Full Review

In some ways it's even justified given the course the character has taken these last few years. At the same time, it's a very extreme direction to venture into, and the longer it lasts, the harder it'll be to ever paint Banner as a heroic figure again. The most significant test this series faces right now is in proving that this new Hulk/Banner dynamic has long-term potential. Read Full Review

More than anything, the art in this issue made me sad because it doomed a fantastic script to be just a mediocre comic. Read Full Review

Art wise, Incredible Hulk #4 is Whilce Portacio trying to be Mark Silvestri and failing. I like Portacio’s work, but not here. It appears Silvestri’s recent medical issues have taken him off the book so Marvel would do better to find one artist with an original style as a opposed to a string of artists doing Mark Silvestri impressions.. I’ve been reading The Incredible Hulk consistently for two decades or more. Now, four issues into the reboot, I’m done with the series until Jason Aaron steps down. Read Full Review

Were closing in to revealing the identity of the one that separated Banner from the Hulk. The storys all right and the art is from an illustrator I havent seen since the early days of Image Comics. I never really liked Whilce Portacios work, along with Rob Liefelds Youngblood I thought Wet Works was one the worst series from Image Comics. Bring back Marc Silvestri damn it! At least theres a nice cover from Leinil Francis Yu (why couldnt he pencil this issue?). Written by Jason Aaron (Avengers VS X-Men) and illustrated by Whilce Portacio (Uncanny X-Men). From Marvel Comics. Read Full Review
