Rated T+
After we wrap up this chapter of The Incredible Hulk, we get 3 more short stories from other Hulks to celebrate 800 issues! It seems as they have slight connections to this current run, but mostly stand alone. Each has a unique creative team and seem to act as previews for future titles. This includes a run in between Brawn and Hulk, an adventure from She-Hulk, and a real intriguing story for Red Hulk. Read Full Review
Incredible story, every page is interesting both visually and story-wise. The backup stories were mostly good too, I probably enjoyed She-Hulk's the most, short and mysterious.
EPIC. in an unexpected way
This goes without saying, but the art from Klein is a 10/10. The story has been dragging for a while now, but this issue brought things back to the high point the series started at. The reason for this is the focus on Charlie and her relationship with the Hulk—specifically her idealized perception of the Hulk.
The Greg Pak story is good, not as wild about the She-Hulk story, and I forgot about the Red Hulk story until this very moment. As usual, these anniversary issues typically feel like a waste of money.
I have to drop this. Nic Klein's phenomenal art is wasted on this. Nothing worthwhile happens. 19 issues in and there has been no plot development, or anything really. There is nothing worthwhile in this book besides the art. But this book tries too hard to be Immortal Hulk without understanding what made it so good.
19 issues of Hulk and Banner being at odds. And nothing has happened. There has been no character development either for the main character. Charlie is fine, but Hulk is in literal stasis and every month it's just another issue of Banner being scared, Hulk being angry and no development of this massive book. This tries way too hard to make Eldest threatening, but it's kinda laughable how little of substance Eldest or more
Calling a comic like this bad is insulting a bad comic that you read and hope something good will come of it. The Incredible Hulk, now not at all incredible, has become a generic character. Phillip Kennedy Johnson is removing everything from this character that made him a classic due to his popularity that was achieved over a long journey. It's depressing! The story by Greg Pak, despite being silly, is the best thing about an issue that contains several stories and MOST of them are boring.
The feat that this writer achieved was to make people move away from this run.
