This book has been, at best, enjoyable, but not much more than that.

Very different from the last issues, but great anyway!
o So here's the skinny: Hulk's lower than he ever was. He's stuck in an iron hotel built just for him, and there's a new Sasquatch guarding the door.
o If he gets through him - and the rest of Gamma Flight - all he wins is an airlock to open space. It's a rigged game, with no way to win...
o ...only JOE FIXIT never learned how to lose.
