I wasn't sure what to expect after the previous issue of The Incredible Hulk so I kept my expectations low. Where Johnson could have easily went into filler, he transitioned perfectly into another big bad all while furthering Charlie's story! Overall, this was a great issue of balance and pace. New things are happening, while old things breath. All of the threads are still there and they seem to be pivotal to the stories to come! Read Full Review

Earls art fit this issue which is nice. Also interesting to see that Charlie is going to have to pay a price for all that power. I still dont know where this story is going though. The Eldest appears dead and the Mother of horrors is sealed. Besides Hulk paying some sort of price for breaking an oath.. and oath that I have no idea who is suppose to enforce that, and resolving Charlies issue, what is there left for this run to do?

I struggle with this run. The art is good, most of the time and the story is kind of fun but it really isnt going anywhere. I fear I am going to get to the end of this run and go 'thats it?' wow. Then feel hallow about spending a couple of years reading this.
