Hulk & the Thing: Big Change OGN


This is the same size as some of the other Marvel Graphic Novels, and I guess in some places it is listed as MGN #29. This lives up to the standards set by other GN's I've read recently they just aren't great.

This book has a crackerjack creative team; Jim Starlin writing and Bernie Wrightson on art. The art is fine, but pretty darn silly. Starlin sets the story on an alien world, and the conflict is over a food additive, so the stakes aren't exactly high to start with. Factor in the Hulk's talking octopus-hat, and you know this isn't high drama.

Things work out ok for the leads, but I have to question the format. The book is worth the price because of the art, but at the time, it must have seemed pretty steep for such a lightweight story.
