Incredible Hulk #17 finally brings Hulk face to face with Eldest. Naturally, a fight ensues and it looks great thanks to Nic Kleins art and Matthew Wilson's colors making it look brutal, bloody, and powerful. As a result, Hulk and Eldest look epic and truly monstrous during their fight. And the ending shows that there's still more to come as the plot moves into high gear next issue. Read Full Review

This book continues to be interesting in a way I don't fully understand, heh. The art is great, so that much is clear. The plot and writing is very good, can't say I'm tracking everything 100% but I definitely got the gist of this issue. Good stuff.

After losing momentum for a few arcs, this comic begins to pick up steam again. Nic Klein continues to amaze.

It's a real shame what this series has devolved into. That being said, this is one of the better issues in quite a while.

What's saddest about this run, besides getting worse at the point zero of not going anywhere, is the fact that it gets high ratings every time that Nic Klein comes back to bring joy to an installment, but that doesn't change the fact that Phillip Kennedy Johnson is incapable of writing a story that goes beyond this, he's just showing how in the end the Hulk will merge with this teenager that will result in a new monster, or the Hulk being saved by her in the most pathetic way possible.
