DON'T MAKE HIM ANGRY...
What if...instead of being bitten by a genetically enhanced spider, Miles Morales was blasted by gamma radiation and transformed into THE INCREDIBLE HULK?! Is Miles man or monster? Or maybe he's just a kid trying to live a normal life...school, dates, a rampaging ABOMINATION... Miles may be the strongest there is, but that doesn't mean growing up will be easy.
RATED T
Worth a look for fans of Miles Morales and the Hulk even if it is different to those two somewhat. Read Full Review
One six-panel page is the largest action beat that occurs in the entire story but it's built toward that moment with such elegance that it plays like cresting a hill on a roller coaster, speeding toward the conclusion in the blink of an eye. Read Full Review
Miles Morales jumps into the life/role of another Marvel Hero for another bit of mixed results when it comes to these multiversal stories that are weighing the character down. Some changed-up specifics are intriguing but ultimately not enough to fully make this chapter of the multiversal switcheroo series work any better than the previous ones. Read Full Review
Genuinely, this is the only issue of this miniseries worth reading.
Best issue of the series so far. Salazar channels his inner Gary Frank on pencils/ inks and Piper manages the difficult task of delivering a full story in a single issue.
Still rather underwhelming, just like the first two installments. What happened to "...but then, he/she/it/they picked B instead of A... with DIRE consequences!" You know, like what other What If's are supposed to be about.
The art is nice, though.
The storytelling sins here are quite minor. The prose is a little verbose and it tends towards cliches. The art, though detailed, can be a little stiff.
The *real* problem is that the story itself is unworthy of the creators' or readers' time. The plot is weak and obvious, the character work on Miles is shallow, and the whole thing feels like a prologue that's overstaying its welcome.
This is the "how would Miles Morales become the Hulk?" story that literally anybody could do with minimal thought.
So although there's decent storytelling work on display, I wind up rating this as the weakest issue of the series yet -- because it quite simply lacks ambition.
It's much better, than previous issue, but it's still so lame... His origin is soooooo freaking dumb! As well as the lego block joke and that one with Betty... It seems like the author mocking the original Hulk. While he was a hero with a broken destiny instead of just a stupid teenager who easily became a "Professor Hulk". At least the conclusion seems like that. Of course he won't be "Professor" in the original meaning of this word, but he is the "Banner-Hulk" in the end.
