COVER BY: CARLO PAGULAYAN
WRITER: GREG PAK
PENCILS: RON GARNEY
Pro: Greg Pak is a fantastic writer. I have no idea why he was removed from the Hulk book and it's really a shame. I enjoyed his story here and really look forward to where he's going with that. The art by Ron Garney is great as always. It is reminiscent of some of the Sal Buscema Hulk issues from the 70's and 80's.


Con: Though Garney's artwork is excellent, this is sorely missing an Inker. There is a lot of scribbles that, although interesting, really distracts and seems very amateurish and is very inconsistent throughout the book. Also very inconsistent throughout was the coloring. I think it had a lot to do with the lack of inker. There are many pages that are vivid and bright, while others are very dull and washed out, particularly where there is a lot of black that should be there but is nothing but some pencil scribbles. The blacks are very inconsistent also, though this might be a printer or production problem but it's very striking where some lines are bold and others are very dull grey.


High point: Great storytelling.

Low point: Inconsistent production. Need an Inker! Inker Inker Inker!
