Mark Waid has done an insane job with this title. In only
four issues, this new status quo for the Hulk feels like the beginning of an
era. (Come to think of it, Hulk has had a lot of status quo changes over the
years, hasn’t he?) I think part of the reason I love this setup so much is that
it reminds me of the Pantheon era. Just like in those issues, Hulk has a huge
organization pointing him in the right direction while interacting through
snarky sidekicks.
Of course, it is only natural that there is an aquatic helicarrier.
There sort of had to be, didn’t there?
I’m also tickled at the villain for this two-parter. I had
no idea who that was reaching out on that cover, but it’s a Marvel classic.
Just one that hasn’t crossed paths with the Hulk too much. I love the use of
lady-troopers in the Lemurian army, we don’t see that enough. It’s also neat
seeing how the mystery villain utilizes so many different undersea powers to
aid him in his conquest.
If I had to make a complaint, it is that I don’t like the
idea that Hulk’s new armor gives him an air bubble to breathe in. It’s just
like the Legion trans suits. Maybe it is because I love seeing Iron Man tricked
out in different armors for different situations, but I’d love to see Hulk
looking a bit more “undersea” you know? Let’s get some toyetic costumes going!
Good
